Whalesounds offers two spacious, fully equipped, self catering, self service, en suite units with breath taking views of False Bay. Each unit sleeps two (King or twin beds). We do provide a sleeper couch for children. The apartments can inter-link for family stays. We provide complementary coffee and tea on arrival. Each unit has a bathroom (shower only, no bath), TV, fridge, microwave, a cooker, kettle, toaster, pans, crockery and cutlery, bedding and towels, arm chairs, dining table and chairs and free secure WiFi. There is a safe on the premises.
There is also an outdoors table and chairs, a sun lounger and a small BBQ/Braai.
During whale season (July-November) our guests can have their morning coffee in bed while watching the whales cavort in the water below the windows. One can clearly hear them blowing when they come closer to shore during the night. Before the whale season, schools of dolphin play up and down False Bay and are a joy to watch. The yachting regattas held in the bay, reminds one of a swarm of butterflies dancing on the water.
We also have an outdoors area where our guests can enjoy a sundowner or just watch the day drift away and watch the moon rise across the bay!
Whalesounds is the perfect venue to forget about the hustle and bustle.
Fish Hoek beach is a stone's throw down the road and now boasts the only shark nets for safe bathing in Cape Town and has two restaurants on the beach for bathers' convenience.
Shopping is also very convenient and close. For a bigger variety of shopping, the closest Malls are only 5km away.
There are so many things to do and see around the Peninsula!
Some of the most popular attractions are:
Cape Point Nature Reserve, Ostrich farms, Boulders Beach with it's unique Jackass Penguin colony, Camel rides at Imhoff's Farm, World of Birds in Hout Bay, the awesome Chapman's Peak Drive, the challenging Simon's Town golf course (or Clovelly or West Lake), numerous restaurants with great food and views to cater for every taste, cosy, reasonable breakfast spots and coffee shops. If you want to do everything there is to do, you'll need a holiday!

Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable. This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites. This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all. It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all. Read this articleon how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
Exclusive. Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:
Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.
There are no costs involved to register as a member.
On registration, we issue them with a member number.
They use their member number when they send an enquiry.
The number is verified automatically BEFORE the enquiry is sent.
The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.
Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.
Requires a paid subscription on WhereToStay with an active Enquiry Form
Terms & Conditions
The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply. Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
