Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa

Accommodation Description

Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa is a fully off-grid, four-bedroom coastal home with uninterrupted views over Walker Bay. Designed for guests who value privacy, simplicity, and thoughtful detail, the house is ideal for families or small groups looking to unwind, cook, explore, and take in the wild beauty of the Cape coast.

The house sleeps eight and features four sea-facing bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and balcony. The main suite has an extra-long king bed, while the others offer queen or twin options. A large open-plan living space includes a dining area, fireplace lounge, and a cook’s kitchen that leads out to a wide, covered deck. It’s a home that encourages slow living: long meals outside, early mornings with coffee and whales, and late evenings in the wood-fired hot tub. Outside, there’s a saltwater rim-flow pool, braai area, and a small garden where dogs are welcome. Solar panels and battery backups keep the essentials running, and there’s an EV charger on-site for electric vehicles. A private gym with ocean views rounds out the offering.

Setting Description

Located along the cliffs of De Kelders near Gansbaai, Whale Huys sits directly above a stretch of coastline known for some of the best land-based whale watching in the world. Coastal paths lead directly from the house to the Klipgat Caves and into the Walker Bay Nature Reserve. The nearby towns of Stanford and Hermanus offer wine farms, kayaking, markets, and casual food spots. You can fill your days with local walks and ocean views—or head out for wine tasting and shark cage diving, all within easy reach.
