GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Dine al fresco on the covered deck and marvel at the incredible views over False Bay and an award-winning garden, in which 40 penguins live! This villa has been beautifully decorated by a top designer and all paintings are by the former resident artist. Enjoy the warmer clear water of the best secret beach below the house.  


This is a very special holiday house indeed. It is blissfully quiet and private yet easily accessible. Great in winter too. One road back from the sea which is actually an advantage at Boulders Beach as it is hidden away from the many tourists.  


The view is unbelievable - bring your binoculars for whale and bird watching.   The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and so does the cottage. The large award-winning garden was planted by Kirstenbosch botanical gardens' landscapers 30 years ago. Around 40 penguins live in the garden, which makes it one of the only houses in Africa that can boast that!  House comes with full-time staff.  


The most relaxing, safe and private holiday house. Ultra fast unlimited Wi-Fi and well kitted out with high quality everything - can stylishly host 16 for lunch. Cool in summer and warm in winter - it is the best place in the world!  Lottings the marvellous house manager / keeper is always on hand to help with anything and everything.  


There is also a games room with a table tennis table.  Whale Song is an entertainer's paradise, fully equipped with everything you could hope for and high-end kitchen equipment etc. It is also a modest distance (40km) from Cape Town, so invite friends to join you for a day or a night.  


You won't ever want to leave - this is paradise on earth and is the most relaxing holiday house around.

FEATURES

GOOD TO KNOW

A perfect Saturday morning out can be spent at Noordhoek Farm Village. With delightful restaurants and a large outdoor eating area, its a great spot for the whole family, especially with little ones. We would highly recommend Cafe Roux. The house is called Whale Song but it just as well might be named Penguin Song - we love the sound of the birds but be prepared to hear then chattering away till 10 at night and again from 7 in the morning in the garden!

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

What a magical experience. It was such a pleasure to meet Lord and Lady courtyard. Finding your home was a dream come true, never did we imagine we would find THE HOUSE!! The view of the sunrise from the veranda, overlooking the garden is the only way to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The house is so well appointed we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. If you’re reading this review - Don’t think twice just book!
