Whale Tale has one of the best seafront positions for watching whales in De Kelders
The view across Walker Bay is spectacular and the close proximity to the sea means you have closeup sightings of whales & dolphins and can hear them throughout the day and night. There are very few places in the world where one is fortunate to experience this.
The apartments are well furnished, fully equipped and allow our guests to relax and enjoy the ambience.
The neighbourhood is tranquil and we're surrounded by the sights, smells and sounds of our natural environment.

De Kelders is a tranquil and peaceful suburb of Gansbaai.
It is best positioned for easy access to the Caves and stunning beaches of De Plaat and Walker Bay Nature Reserve. There are some top end restaurants within a short distance from Whale Tale. There is no light pollution and as a result the evening star gazing is exceptional. Residents and visitors can be seen jogging, cycling and walking their dogs along the sea frontage or just enjoying the amazing vista.
