  • Luxury Village Apartment for Two – Historic Seaside Escape

    An Intimate Coastal Retreat in the Heart of the Village

    Tucked into the centre of a small yet vibrant historic seaside village, this luxury apartment is a private retreat designed exclusively for two. Thoughtfully curated with comfort, privacy and understated elegance in mind, it offers a refined stay where every detail feels intentional and considered.

    While perfectly positioned in the heart of village life, the apartment itself remains a calm and welcoming sanctuary—ideal for slow mornings, relaxed evenings and meaningful time together.

    A short stroll brings you to wide, unspoilt beaches stretching along the coastline, perfect for long walks and quiet moments by the sea. Beyond the village, the surrounding countryside is dotted with beautiful wine farms, offering tastings, scenic drives and leisurely lunches.

    From the shoreline, you’ll find yourself in one of the region’s most celebrated whale-watching areas. During the season, sightings are a breathtaking reminder of the natural beauty that surrounds you—an effortless balance between coastal wildlife and village culture.

  • Wish we could have stayed longer.

    "We loved our stay and wished we could stay longer. It is an amazing apartment which is in real even more beautiful than in pictures. It was all new and tidy. A big bonus is the pool with a nice view. It’s a short walk into the town where you have all restaurant and cafés. There is also a really nice bakery (Daan’s bakery) only 2 minutes away with the best bread and croissants. Garth&Therese sent us great recommendations for things to do in the area and were very fast in communication. Thank you for having us!"

  • We highly recommend staying here !

    We had such a beautiful couple of days in Hermanus, made very comfortable and relaxing by our stay at Whale Walk. Garth & Therese were very proactive with communications, even reccomending a lovely local market nearby. Angelique (the on site host) was superb - very welcoming and helpful. We would highly reccomend staying here if you are visiting Hermanus!
