“One of the top 10 best places to stay in South Africa” – Condé Nast House & Garden (October 2006)
Whaler’s Way is an exquisite Churchhaven beach house that is big on charm and small on environmental impact. The house is built on an entirely green footprint of reclaimed materials, solar panels, locally sourced finishes and rainwater harvesting. Ecological credentials lend authenticity to the understated rustic “French Settler” style that has been achieved with weathered beams, antique furnishings and fresh natural finishes.
Whaler’s Way is tucked into the unspoilt village of Churchhaven in the heart of the West Coast National Park, which is only an hour’s drive from Cape Town. It is a mere two-minute amble from this charming beach house to the pristine waters of the Langebaan Lagoon. Spend your days swimming, bicycling or snorkelling, or laze on the verandah soaking up the views that stretch over the lagoon and beyond. This truly is a magical, off-the-grid hideaway.

Again, our Perfect Hideaways experience exceeded all expectations - from the easy booking process, important information sent at the right time and the knowledge that there is backup, should we experience any problem. The new directions were given to our friends (they managed to leave CT earlier) who had never been there and they had no problem finding the house and making themselves at home. Whaler's Way is a stunning house, with every need catered for. The kitchen is very well equipped and the big fridge/freezer was a joy. We enjoyed the views immensely and when it became too cold outside, lit the two fire places inside and played board games until late. The atmosphere was super cosy, with limited electric lights in the dining room and lots of oil lamps! Saturday was spent on the beach and sailing and swimming in the lagoon, just 3 minutes' walk from the house, ending with sun downers and a braai on that stoep (and hammock) that we'll all miss until we go again! The beds were fantastic - one melted to sleep, after a lovely shower, smelling delicious thanks to Charlotte Rhys and her magic potions... What a perfect weekend!
“We had such a divine time – absolutely loved, loved, loved the house, and Churchhaven is like heaven!!”

We had an awesome time!
We had such a great time in Whalers Way this weekend!
We had a lovely stay and will definitely use Perfect Hideaways again
We had a lovely relaxing stay and should have stayed a week. Best part no electronics as we did not like to put pressure on the resources.
It's a gorgeous property with a lot of ambiance & charm!
Loved it!!
We have just got back to Cape Town and I just want to tell you how much we all enjoyed Whalers Way. The flowers and weather also contributed! The facilities were excellent and the house was very thoughtfully equipped. We will be back next year!
Thank you for a lovely stay at Whalers way
We have just returned from South Africa. We had an amazing time in both Churchaven and Babylonstoren – both properties excellent. Babylonstoren also managed to accommodate us in the 2 bedroom from the first night, so it was all good. What a fantastic place! Quite depressing being back in cold old Europe I can tell you! Will be recommending Perfect Hideaways to my friends who are planning SA trips!
