“The location is excellent at the end of the road and next to the nature reserve. You have a great view from the deck overlooking the ocean all the way to Hermanus, so it is easy to enjoy many lazy afternoons enjoying the sunsetting over the water.”

Overlooking the Indian Ocean and flanking the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, The Whale House is a six-bedroom home a stroll away from what international travel magazine Conde Naste describes "as one of the world's best beaches" in terms of tranquillity and natural beauty. The Whale House offers spacious accommodation with views of whales, dolphins and distant mountains, and a delightful ambiance of birdsong, peace and a panorama of sun and sea below. The 20 km stretch of sandy coastline towards Hermanus offers wonderful opportunities for hiking, swimming, or exploring the dunes. The house is ideal for families, couples or groups looking for the perfect peaceful getaway, and is a short drive from whale-watching cruises, cage diving with Great White sharks, and wine farms offering sumptuous cuisine and a wide selection of South Africa's finest wines. The house is equipped with an indoor and outdoor braai and all the amenities for a comfortable, cozy stay.
I will be available on mobile phone to help with any queries.
This neighbourhood is unique for its quiet ambience next to the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, just five kilometres from Gansbaai, Great White Shark capital of the world.
