Whalehuys, Cape Whale Coast

Whale Huys Luxury Eco Villa is a beautiful self-catering accommodation with unobstructed ocean views over Walker Bay, stretching from the quiet fisherman’s village of Gansbaai to Hermanus and beyond.

Located less than two hours from Cape Town International Airport, Whale Huys self-catering accommodation is well positioned as a weekend escape from Cape Town or Johannesburg. With Cape Agulhas, the southern-most tip of Africa, lying just 85km to the southeast, you’ll find Whale Huys the perfect spot to start your garden route tour.

The villa is built directly on the Whale Coast in the De Kelders (Overberg region, Western Cape), affording visitors some of the best land-based whale watching in the world directly from the numerous balconies and deck during the months of June to November! Also during the rest of the year, dolphins, seals, dassies (rock hyrax), mongooses, tortoises and dozens of species of birds provide a delightful and intimate experience with nature.

Fall asleep and wake to the sound of the waves gently lapping at the rocks below, while a myriad of bird species enjoy the bounty of the surrounding natural fynbos plant life. Nestled in nature and with four well-appointed bedrooms (all ensuite), Whale Huys Eco Villa is the perfect holiday accommodation choice for large families, groups of friends or even couples looking for a private getaway.

“We had a great weekend in the beautiful Whale House. The location is absolutely perfect and the views – from all the bedrooms, lounge, dining room and deck – to die for. De Kelders is a tranquil little town that is close to quaint Stanford and busier Gansbaai. The house is amazingly well equipped (think international adaptors, a gym, a yoga mat and even a laptop for guests). The deck, with a pool overlooking the bay – was my favorite spot. Highly recommended – I can’t wait to go back! And thanks for the gift basket Bruce!”
