This beautiful quite guest suite with full bathroom is in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. With high mountain peaks en gorges at the back, and a 180 degree sea view in front with stunning sun rises and sunsets is this the place to be! The guest suite has it’s own entrance, patio, parking, mini bar fridge, toaster & TV with DSTV. Fire Hazard…..Please read Whalecome Guest Suite and house on the foot of the mountain, is in the heart of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. The Fauna & Flora forms part of the Cape Fynbos region, and is a very high risk fire area. You are welcome to braai, but the following needs to be taken in consideration: • You can only braai if the wind is not blowing & weather permitting • Preferbly charcoal (no wood) to be used in the Weber provided • In consideration for our neighbours you need to be done by 9pm • We will then store the cool downed Weber in the garage to prevent veldt fires • No tipe of smoking allowed in room • Please take note: there is no kitchen in the room, only a Coffee station We hope you understand our concern and the rules of the beautiful nature reserve. No loud music or noise allowed.
Gerda loves making guest feeling at home.
