Casa Balena - The Seafront Whale House Experience

Casa Balena, meaning "Whale House" in Italian, truly lives up to its title during whale season. This Tuscan-style seafront gem, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, offers magnificent ocean views and a hot tub heated on arrival! The elevated deck provides exceptional up-close whale watching from July to November. Boasting two barbeque (braai) areas, its the ideal setting for indoor gatherings or outdoor dining. Casa Balena offers a relaxing coastal getaway, waking up to the sound of waves and the beauty of the ocean ever-present.
