“Thank you for our recent wonderful stay at Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa. The house is in a magnificent position with spectacular views and has been beautifully furnished and maintained with the interior’s comfort matching the glorious setting. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our week there. Even the weather and whales cooperated!” Nicole, UK
“Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa is the most well-appointed Airbnb we’ve stayed in, full stop. Bruce has thought of virtually everything to make the stay a 10/10. Leigh was a superstar and a true pleasure throughout the check/out process.” Satisfied Guest
“Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa is incredible, and we very much enjoyed our stay. The host has put so much thought into making the home perfect for guests, and Leigh was a wonderful resource for us during our visit. You may think you only need a night or two here, but do yourself a favour and extend your visit. The views are breathtaking; be sure to take an opportunity to walk along the cliff path to the beach. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re along the Garden Route, hopefully for a longer stay.” Ryan, USA
“Words cannot describe the feeling of opening the front door for the first time and seeing the sea and the amazing views. Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa was equipped with everything we could need for a family holiday. The whales are literally on the doorstep, vineyards around the corner and the beautiful scenery make this a very special place that we will definitely come back to.” Ben, Australia
“Ein Haus, in dem alles stimmig ist. Das Haus liegt super direkt am Strand. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden. Das Haus ist aufgrund seiner vielen Zimmer iedel für Familien. Es fehlt nichts.” JB, Germany
“Spectacular find. A must-visit! This house has wonderful views and amazing facilities. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Large glazed windows keep the house warm in winter and make it feel like you are outside even when the house is closed up. We could watch and hear the southern right whales from the house.” JH, South Africa
“Wow! Wow! Wow! Absolutely my best stay in over 120 stays on Air B&B. Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa feels 100% warm and welcoming from the minute one walks in the front door. The amenities and layout of the home are amazing. We definitely enjoyed the home a lot more than we anticipated and the only regret I have is that we could not have stayed longer. I will undoubtedly be returning mid-year for a longer stay.” RR
“We stayed with our two children girls for four nights. The area is beautiful with big impressive houses along the waterfront. We spotted whales from the house and walking trails almost every day. We also saw a glimpse of dolphins once. The view from the house is absolutely fantastic! We used the pool every day and relaxed on the pool deck. We enjoyed the easiness of the walks in the nature reserve, which is within walking distance of the house. We really hope we can visit again soon!” Catherine
“We had the immense pleasure of spending a few days at Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa very recently. As many have already written it is indeed a lovely house, but for us… to be quite candid… it was all about the glorious, simply stupendous views over Walker Bay. Sweeping! Stunning! Awe-inspiring! WOW! This is a big house suited to a family or (possibly even better) a group of friends. All the bedrooms have wonderful views and are equally attractive in terms of furnishings, fittings and en-suite facilities. So there shouldn´t be any arguments about who gets the best room. The master suite has a larger balcony and is conveniently located at entry-level and the hub of the house. The owner was great to deal with… very quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. A superb all-around experience. Go for it!” Judith
“Whale Huys Oceanfront Eco Villa is an incredible place to stay! It is in a beautiful location with a magnificent view of Walker Bay. The home is both luxurious and relaxing all at once. We saw Southern Right Whales breaching the water multiple times and seals playing in the waves. We loved the area which is dotted with vineyards and Fynbos landscapes. We spent a great day exploring historic Elim. Dinner at Farm 215 was truly lovely with home-prepared gourmet food! Our stay was a highlight of our Cape Town visit from the United States.” Gerry
