Located 700 metres from De Kelders Caves, Whale Huys Luxury Ocean Holiday Villa offers accommodation in Gansbaai. This villa offers a seasonal outdoor pool and free WiFi.
“Bruce was the most gracious host. We corresponded several times in preparation for my arrival. The home completely exceeded my expectations. The photos of Whale Huys are gorgeous but being there was a whole new level of experience. The sound of the ocean is magnificent and its smell intoxicating. I took several walks along the coast, just steps away from the house, and my busy life quickly melted away... And the home itself, perched just above the coastline, has panoramic views and is outfitted luxuriously and comfortably. I am a cook and their kitchen accommodated my every need, allowing me to prep some gourmet meals for my partner and I to enjoy while watching the most magnificent sunsets. Whale Huys is an amazing retreat. I've run out of superlative adjectives to describe it! ;-) I give it my highest recommendation.”
