About Mailie Green

David and Mailie are the owners of The Lookout at Whale Cove in De Kelders as well as three properties in Bali - Villa Cocoa Maya in Candidasa in eastern Bali, Villa Sagitta in Ubud and Villa Bebek in Seminyak. We’ve always been keen travellers so, school schedules permitting, we try and spend as much time at our properties as we can with our two boys.

Mailie Green purchased this Apartment in 2009

Why Mailie Green chose De Kelders

My husband, David, was initially involved with selling the Whale Cove apartment development. He went to look at it while it was still being constructed and came back to Johannesburg excited at the prospect of buying there. At the time I'd never even heard of De Kelders so I was more than a bit skeptical at the thought! We flew down to take a look and - as they say in the classics - the rest is history! I instantly fell in love with De Kelders and the Overberg. Because we bought early we were able to buy the apartment with the largest balcony, and the best views of the whales and the mountains. There's nothing I love better than spending time in De Kelders. I cherish the sunsets from the balcony, the sheer magnificence of the surroundings and, clearly, the whales in season! Yet, sadly, one of the tragedies of life is that one can't holiday year round(!), so we also rent out The Lookout at Whale Cove to guests. We've had wonderful feedback from our guests over the years. And we love that many of them view The Lookout as their home-from-home (nearly 50% are returning guests). We are very serious about making sure that our guests’ hard-earned holiday goes well on our watch! It’s always fun to read our guests’ reviews. There’s something very satisfying about knowing that our guests get as much enjoyment out of staying there as we do!

What makes this Apartment unique

You can't be inside and closer to the whales anywhere along this coast. The apartment has the added advantage of presenting the best view of the whales during season (and the dolphins and seals year round) regardless of whether you're on the balcony, in the main bedroom or on the path outside the front door!
