Hotel Description

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.

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.

Whale Huys combines the warmth and character of traditional thatched roof architecture with the luxury of a modern holiday villa. It boasts conveniences like DSTV Premium satellite TV, high-speed fibre Internet and a laptop, which you can use to check your email, stay in touch with loved ones or surf the web.

Each bedroom of this stunning Whale Coast self-catering accommodation opens out onto its own sea front balcony, affording visitors breath-taking views of our gorgeous coastline. The uninterrupted panoramic views of Walker Bay and the surrounding mountain range extend up to Hangklip and even the Cape of Good Hope on a clear day.

Next to the infinity pool, a private path winds its way through the fynbos vegetation that is indigenous to the Western Cape, taking you to the water’s edge, or to a walking trail that extends for more than 15 kilometres from the Gansbaai to the pristine beaches of the Walker Bay Nature Conservancy near Hermanus.
