The No1 quality of this property will always be the location, the view is simply world class! With that comes ample accommodation with 4 large en-suite bedrooms three sitting areas and a large dining table. Lots of nice touches including loads of beach towels, USB charging cables for any type mobile in each bedroom and even a gym! Even in November we had whale and dolphin sightings from the lounge.

Amazing and Spectacular
Visiting from the USA so always a bit nervous about how it will turn out once you arrive.
As advertised. But advertising can't do it justice. A truly spectacular house, amazing views, great location. Vacation spot of a lifetime.
We can write a book about it, but it is better to come and visit! Everything was fantastic, including Nicky who welcomed us, and were so helpful with everything.

Needs updating!
The location of the property was beautiful! We watched right whales bask in the water infront of us. Enjoyed a hike on the cliffs overlooking the water. The property was worn and definitely needs updating. Even the pool was not looked after and was loaded with bugs so we didn’t use it. The kitchen and baths need updating. We had some confusion checking in and were told to contact the wrong person. When we couldn’t reach her we were concerned. That has all been straightened out and website was updated. Overall a nice experience.

Thank you for your feedback and I’m sorry you found our property in needs of updating. We always welcome feedback, and particularly negative feedback, as an opportunity to identify areas for improvement.
My apologies about the confusion around the contact number. We haven’t had VRBO guests recently and I forgot to update the number for Leigh, our new manager. Leigh did try to contact you by text, but apparently your number wasn’t working. I have now updated all information on VRBO so thanks for flagging this.
KITCHEN: I suspect your comment refers to the under-counter garbage bins where the rails stick. We noticed this as well, and a cabinet maker came out last week to measure for a new system that will be done next week. Otherwise, you will have noticed that appliances are all top-end and quite new. Specifically, fridge and microwave are less than a year old. The granite countertop is 4 years old, but still like new. If there are things I may have missed, I would love to hear about it. I love to cook, so our aim is to have a kitchen that our guests love to cook in.
BATHROOMS: A year ago we retiled all shower floors/walls and replaced all showerheads and taps with designer mixers. I suspect your comments refers to the walls which are finished with Cemcrete, a smooth semi-gloss finish that reflects the patterns in the cement underneath. We chose this finish as we feel it reflects the rustic, earthy look we aspire to for the villa, but I realise this is not everyone’s taste.
POOL: I was sorry to hear about the bugs in the pool. It is serviced every Wednesday by a professional crew and Leigh does a check before guests arrive. The storm the Monday you arrived meant some bugs and leaves end up in the pool even with the cover on. Most guests find the weekly service sufficient, but we provide a net to remove anything that falls between maintenance visits.
Ultimately, I suspect some things come down to a difference in taste. You won’t find crystal chandeliers, marble bathrooms or gold taps at Whale Huys. Guests looking for this style of luxury will likely not find what they are looking for. We aspire to create a relaxed, comfortable, and clean environment of understated luxury for our guests. A space connected with nature where the wood beams and thatch roof are the defining architectural elements. A space where the amazing ocean views and surrounding nature are center stage. A space where guests feel immediately comfortable and at home.

The perfect find, a gem indeed
This house was amazing!!! We were a group of 7 friends and this accommodated us very well. The views were outstanding - we were able to sit at the window and whale watch for hours on end. Each bedroom was comfortable and had an ocean view. The location was lovely - we were able to go for long walks along the shoreline or throughout the neighborhood. The drive into town was an easy 5 minute drive. Leigh was a joy to work with. We left days ago and are still talking about the house - highly recommend!

Magnificent villa in a stunning seeting
We loved everything about the property! Bruce, the owner has answered promptly all our questions and was a pleasure to communicate with him - only an email away. Nikky took excellent care of us and was always ready to help with recommendations. Our party was composed of three couples and a seven year old coming from Florida, New York and Bucharest.
As we came in the house for the first time we were blown away by the breathtaking views from the kitchen and dining/living area. As far as we could see, the ocean and the spectacularly unique fynbos welcomed us. Little did we knew at that time, but discovered later, the views were as magnificent from the upstairs bedrooms! The terrace is fantastic and the barbecue area made for fantastic Karoo lamb chops! The dining table was so inviting with a basket of goodies and beautiful bouquet of the endemic fynbos flowers. This attention to detail is just so precious and appreciated, as we found it everywhere in the house. The property was immaculately clean. The beds are extremely comfortable.
During our stay we had a very cold front with hail and howling wind, but the lovely fireplace and the electric blankets kept us cozy and happy. We were daily enchanted by the Southern right whales and their calves breaching and blowing just in front of us, while we were sipping fabulous South African wine. One of the couples in our party went to a wine tasting tour, easily organized from Hermanus and were impressed not only with the wine, but the food and the whole experience. Having been in wine tasting tours all over the world, they ranked it in the top. If you stay at this property, you should try "Creation".
The kitchen has high-end appliances, all pots and pans one might need, blenders, food processors and beautiful platters. I love gourmet cooking and found everything I needed to cook and present the dishes! With a Super Spar in Gansbaai, just five minutes drive from the property, Woolworth (in South Africa, this is upmarket) in Hermanus (30 minutes drive) and some small seasonal organic markets, you have fresh and delicious groceries to enable you to take full advantage of the kitchen.
The high-end restaurant at Grootbos was glorious as ever with a three course lunch we still dream about. The Cave at Hermanus has fantastic seafood with dramatic views of the whales. We are all nature lovers, so we went to De Mond Reserve, Flower Valley and Hermanus and enjoyed every second of our stay. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for the very positive review. It's always nice to have such enthusiastic guests. These are also some useful tips for future guests. We actually have never eaten at The Cave in Hermanus so we will have to check that one out.
If you ever make it back to South Africa, we hope to welcome you again.

Great place!
We loved our stay at Whale Huys! It was conveniently located close to restaurants and shops. The location is very close to the beach and beautiful walks. We were a group of 8 and we found the house spacious. We loved sitting on the deck and balcony, watching the whales and stunning sunsets!

Amazing view and home with a great host!
Oh my goodness, everything was amazing, from our lovely greeting from Nicky, the comfy house, to the view, the rocks... We even ate at the Blue Goose (restaurant that Bruce recommended) twice it was so good!! Everyone was so kind. Our shark diving was cancelled so we just spent most of the day enjoying the house and views! The kids had a great time exploring the rocks and trail directly in front of the home. We did go out with Marine Dynamics sister company to look for whales but honestly saw more from your front porch!! I can't thank you enough for a wonderful time! I would love to come back and spend a week on that front porch alone! Thank you Bruce for all the good info before we even got there and thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Dear Rachel,
I'm delighted you had such a good time and enjoy the villa as much as we do!
It's a pity the shark diving was cancelled, I understand there were Orcas in the bay and this causes the sharks to flee, but fortunately not the whales. This year there seem to be a lot of whales, so glad that worked out. Indeed, being higher up on the cliffs as we are, the Whale watching is usually better right from Whale Huys than it is from the whale boats.
We hope to welcome you and your family back at some point in the future!

Fantastisch huis met waanzinnig uitzicht!
Wij (een familie met 2 kinderen van 12 en 9) hebben 4 dagen verbleven in de Whale Huys. In een woord; geweldig!! Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien (onder andere BVN en WiFi), schoon en veilig. Een goed ontvangst en rondleiding van Jenene. Eigenaar Bruce helpt je met tips etc. Wij hadden veel geluk met het weer en heel veel geluk met het spotten van walvissen. Waarschijnlijk hebben we de eerste 2 walvissen van het seizoen gezien vanaf ons eigen terras. Er is genoeg te doen in de omgeving en wij vonden Pearly Beach erg leuk. Paardrijden hebben we gedaan op de White Water Farm (circa 20 km). Kortom, wij komen zeker nog een keer terug!!

Beyond Superb!
I have been privileged to spend 8 nights in this magnificent villa which truly lived up to its name! The views across Walker Bay are absolutely spectacular and I saw many whales and dolphins (often from my bed.) Some mornings I could clearly hear the whales even before it was light enough to see them. I loved every moment of my stay here, which brought me tranquility and food for the soul. I will definitely be back!

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Bruce Haase (NL) /Leigh (SA)
Dutch-American by birth, I currently live and work betwen South Africa and Amsterdam. Next to my day job as a Sustainable Business Consultant, I have been renting holiday apartments in our historical building in Amsterdam for the past 15 years. (property 54555). Having always travelled a lot for business, I always appreciated staying in places where I immediately felt at home. In furnishing and renting our apartments this is the feeling we hope our guests will have as well. We first visited this Overberg region of South Africa about 12 years ago, and loved the open spaces, pristine nature relaxation.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
When we first started considering purchasing an ocean front property in the area, Whale Huys was the first property we saw, and we fell in love with it,. Of course the breathtaking ocean views from every room, was the big selling point, but what sold us compared to the other properties in the area was the openness and relaxed design. Unlike typical sterile white beach houses, Whale Huys has a more rustic relaxed feeling with its thatched roof and 8 metre ceiling in the open plan central space.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
- Direct ocean front property with spectacular unobstructed 180 degree ocean views from every room - Eco-friendly, Solar power w/ battery and grid back-up so never power black-outs., solar water heating, grey water recycling, eco friendly amenities and cleaning products - 4 en-suite bedrooms each with its own ocean-side balcony - Wireless internet & computer corner - Living room with fireplace - Unobstructed ocean views from every room - Infinity Pool - Fully-Equipped Open Kitchen - Pool-side bar and outdoor braai area - Excellent land-based whale watching - Ideally situated for Easy access to the nature and culture of the Overberg, Western Cape - Additional services available at an extra charge include (daily housekeeping, a personal chef, massage therapist, and private horse back riding tours)
