Whalesong Lodge is a seafront guest house 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. It is situated only 2 hours from Cape Town just before the town of Gansbaai which is 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 underfloor heating, separate bath and shower are elegant but functional. The large comfortable open plan lounge and dining 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 South African red 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.

Delicious breakfasts and dinners are lovingly prepared and served in an informal surrounding and with a stunning view over Walker bay. With Gansbaai's fishing harbour only minutes away there is an ample supply of fresh seafood. We previously owned a small hotel in the Cape winelands so we have tasted and collected the best wines of the area to be savoured by our guests. 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 for leisurely walks along the coast.
