Spotted from the Deck: A Whale in Walker Bay

You know you're in the right place when the first southern right whale of the season makes a guest appearance, and you don’t even have to leave the house to see it.

 
Managed by Dwell, Made for Relaxing

Waterkant Street in De Kelders is a luxury three-bedroom holiday home, managed by Dwell Property Management. This three-bedroom home sleeps six and is just one house back from the ocean. It’s the kind of place where your morning coffee on the deck turns into hours of sea-gazing, lulled by the waves and free from distractions.

This week? Sea-gazing at Waterkant Street included a whale sighting right from the living room.

 
A Thatched-Roof Gem with Room to Breathe

The beautifully designed home feels instantly welcoming, like it’s been waiting for you to arrive all along. You’ll fall asleep to the sound of the ocean, wake up to birdsong, and possibly forget what day it is (in the best possible way).

 
Everything You Need and Nothing You Don’t

Inside, the open-plan living space offers a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area with a large friendship table, and a comfortable lounge with a cosy fireplace, creating the ideal environment for a relaxing stay.

Although this high-end home has convenient laundry facilities, Dwell Property Management can arrange a daily cleaning service if you feel like putting your feet up properly. After all, this is what luxury holidays are all about.

 
Sea Views, Whale Breaches and Soul-Soothing Stays

Waterkant Street is more than just a place to stay, it’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak up the best of coastal living. 

And, if you’re lucky, the next southern right whale might show up while you are still in your slippers.
