We visited Maanschijn wine estate https://www.maanschijn.co.za/ yesterday. It was wonderful chatting with the young winemakers about the passion and creativity that goes into their wines. We love their philosophy of working with nature to make the wines. Just 30 minutes from Whale Huys between Stanford and Hermanus.

Some are a bit scary

Probably the most adrenalin pumping activity in the Walker Bay is shark cage diving to view the Great White sharks. Guests can get up close and personal to these intimidating, yet misunderstood creatures. And, if you're lucky, you may just spot one enjoying the sun in the gentle waves in front of Whaly Huys

Walker Bay is a haven for numerous whale species, not only the Southern Right. Humpback whales migrate through the region between the months of May and December. So keep your eyes peeled, you may just spot them. The telescope at Whale Huys may just be useful in your efforts. DM us to find out about our reduced rates for July and August 2019. #walkerbay #humpbackwhales #SouthAfrica #capesouthcoast #whalehuys #dekelders

New Promotional Video for Whale Huys

View of whale from the deck

Last week a guest staying at Whale Huys took this video with his family from the deck. This was the first whale they had seen from Whale Huys. For me, even after having seen hundreds of whales, there is still something magical about these creatures.
