WELCOME TO WHALE’S REST Relax, listen to the waves, and enjoy the view. Wake up to uninterrupted ocean views at Whale’s Rest, a stylish and spacious beachfront home in Pearly Beach. Perfect for families, couples, or friends, this relaxed coastal escape offers comfort, space, and a front-row seat to nature — from seasonal whale sightings to long walks along the sandy shoreline. The home features 4 bedrooms (2 en-suite), a full bathroom downstairs, and a guest bathroom upstairs. The main bedroom includes a cozy fireplace, with a second fireplace in the lounge for relaxed evenings. A fully equipped modern kitchen makes self-catering easy, while the enclosed braai area with stacking doors opens to the sea breeze.

Hi, I’m Anthony, owner of Whale’s Rest. We created this home as a peaceful coastal retreat where families and friends can relax, recharge, and enjoy the natural beauty of Pearly Beach. Our local host, Charmaine, will personally welcome you and assist with check-in and check-out. She lives nearby and is available if you need anything during your stay.
Pearly Beach is a peaceful, unspoiled coastal village known for its wide sandy beaches, seasonal whale watching, and relaxed pace of life. Just minutes from the house, enjoy great food and a laid-back atmosphere at Whale Coast Brewing Co. or Pearly Beach Club. For something more adventurous, try beach rides with Pearly Beach Horse Trails or shark cage diving with Marine Dynamics. Nearby highlights include Klipgat Caves, while wine lovers can visit Lomond Wine Estate. For essentials, Pearly Beach Market is close by, with SUPERSPAR Gansbaai just a short drive away.
