About Whale Watchers Inn

Whale Watchers Inn is situated on the Whalecoast and is surrounded by two natural phenomena - The Breede River Estuary and the Ian Ocean. Endless, white sandy beaches are available for that long stroll and the San Sebastian Bay, which Whale Watchers Inn overlooks, is the home of the Southern Right Whales who can be viewed either from the beach, or from your balcony.

The Breede River starts out at Witsand and is one of the largest, most navigable rivers in South Africa. It supports an amazing variety of fish and birdlife. The wealth of fish in the Breede River naturally attracts fish-eating birds such as the majestic fish eagle, the osprey, fish owl and kingfisher. The area is also home to an amazing variety of other birds and water birds.

                                      

35 kms inland from Witsand is the small historic village of Malagas. Malagas is particularly famous for its "man-drawn" ferry ("die pont") across the Breede River - a nostalgic relic of a slower, quieter era. This service began in 1860, current model, 1952 - and still carries people, vehicles and livestock across the river every day.
