This modern, uncluttered space offers an unparalleled 180-degree sea view, perfect for whale watching season when Southern Right, Humpback, and Bryde's Whales visit Walker Bay to mate and calf. Step into a world of comfort and convenience. The apartment features two versatile bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Four single beds that can be configured into king-size options, catering to your specific needs. The fully-equipped kitchen boasts high-end appliances, including a fridge/freezer, microwave/oven combination, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, toaster, two-plate gas stove and dishwasher. For longer stays, take advantage of the laundry facilities in the unit, including a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, and small ironing board. The apartment also features a smart TV and WiFi for your entertainment needs. Immerse yourself in the unique coastal experience with direct access to the ocean. Just steps away from the rocky shoreline, you can explore tidal pools or take a refreshing dip at the nearby beach. As the day winds down, enjoy the warmth of the indoor braai, a quintessential South African feature that doubles as a fireplace in winter, while listening to the soothing sounds of whales close by. The apartment's eco-friendly features, including energy efficient design, renewable power and ceiling fans, ensure a comfortable stay while minimizing environmental impact. With a private entrance and separate car park, Kallos Thalassa offers the perfect blend of serenity, sustainability, and modern living for guests 13 years and above. Explore the surrounding area rich in natural wonders and eco-tourism opportunities. Take a short walk to the nearby nature reserve, explore a selection of caves, embark on hiking and cycling trails, or visit the local Penguin Sanctuary. Just a 10-minute drive away, thrill-seekers can enjoy world-renowned shark cage diving experiences in Kleinbaai, best between May and September due to optimal water visibility. For wine enthusiasts, several wine estates in close proximity offer delightful tasting experiences. The apartment's location in a quiet cul-de-sac ensures tranquility, while still being within walking distance to a few restaurants and a short drive to many more dining options. Two supermarkets nearby provide convenience for self-catering needs. Whether you're seeking a short getaway or an extended retreat, Kallos Thalassa provides the ideal base to experience the best of this whale-watching paradise and the diverse attractions of the Western Cape. ## Property amenities ### Beach -
