Seafront holiday house overlooking Walker bay. Newly renovated and beautifully furnished with a big outside deck and swimming pool it offers outside and inside barbecue (braai) area. Enjoy uninterrupted sea views and beautiful sunsets over the Atlantic ocean and Klein River Mountains. Wake up to the sounds of nature and the ocean and close up whale watching opportunities from the comfort of home. Located on Cape Whale Coast of South Africa with access to beautiful walking trails and tidal pools to explore.
We are exited to welcome you to our Seafront cottage. I am originally from Cape Town but am residing and working in Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates with my husband and son. We fell in love with Gansbaai and have our own home in the fishing town where we spend most of our holidays. Gansbaai captivated us with its natural beauty, Fynbos, Marine Big 5, Wine routes, restaurants, Whale watching, shark cage diving and striking sunsets. We have visited many beautiful places but it is here that we feel most at home. We invite you to experience one of our magnificent sunsets or whale sightings from the comfort of Whale Sea cottage.
