Whalesong Lodge

A Seafront guesthouse overlooking the picturesque Walker Bay with views stretching from the white sand dunes of “Die Plaat” past Hermanus all the way to Cape Point. The area offers excellent whale watching, shark cage diving, diverse fynbos, coastal cliffs and deserted beaches situated only 2 hr from Cape Town just before Gansbaai famous for its Great White Sharks.

The 5 spacious open-plan Rooms are thoughtfully yet stylishly decorated each with sea view and a small private balcony to take in the fresh sea air. The en-suite bathrooms, with under floor heating, separate bath and shower are elegant but functional.

The large comfortable open plan lounge & dinning room lead out to a wooden deck. Ideal to watch the whales that play only meters from the shore. For the cooler months there is a cosy fireplace and a good selection of Overberg Wines. The wooden deck leads to a small pool but if one prefer to swim in the sea there are a number of small coves within easy walking distance. A short drive will take you to a number of sandy beaches.

Why De Kelders? Is north facing and one of the few places on the Cape Southwest Coast where you are able to watching the sun set over the sea while enjoy sundowners. When you sit on the deck you are sheltered by the house from the prevailing summer off-shore wind. There are no street lights to pollute the night sky. But the biggest reason; there is no place in South Africa were you are able to watch the whales from the shore, as you do from the De Kelders cliffs and Whalesong Lodge is on those cliffs.

Whalesong lodge is an ideal base to spend a number of days to explore the area. It’s a paradise for whale watching, shark diving or just leisurely walks along the coast.
