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.

There is no light pollution and as a result the evening star gazing is exceptional.

The location is the perfect spot from which to enjoy whale spotting, watching the weather roll in or popping out to enjoy a stunning coastal walk to the nearby caves.
