Enchanting Elegance in Whale Rock Gardens

JOINT MANDATE

Through the 24-hour manned gate of Whale Rock Gardens — a coveted estate known for its lush scenery and serene dams — lies a community of calm and pride of place. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, with neat hedges and a pathway to the front door where flowers bloom between each step, this elegant home awaits.

The entry sets a regal tone with its high ceilings and a whitewashed brick feature wall that complements the home’s tasteful character. To the right, the lounge is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and wrapped by wide windows that frame the flowering garden and the distant silhouette of Formosa Peak as if it’s a painting. The space flows into a long dining room finished with a drinks cabinet for sophisticated serving. Both spaces open through sliding and stacking glass doors to the garden, where a covered verandah and intimate lawn form a peaceful outdoor lounge. Its north and east orientation fills the space with natural light.

Inside, the kitchen features sleek grey soft-close cabinetry, black granite countertops, a gas hob, and a double oven, while a scullery that enjoys instant hot water loops discreetly out of sight and is provisioned for all major appliances. From here, doors lead either to a secluded side courtyard with an exterior loo or to the single-car garage, thoughtfully provisioned for laundry facilities.

Past the guest cloakroom, an office nook rests affront a grand window that gazes into the garden. To the right, the master bedroom unfolds — carpeted and softly lit, with built-in cupboards and an ensuite bathroom, and sliding glass doors that open to the garden. Across the way, a second bedroom also enjoys garden views, built-in cupboards, and its own ensuite bathroom, offering guests both privacy and charm.

The home is fully solar-powered, with nine panels and a solar geyser ensuring efficient, sustainable living and an exterior parking bay conveniently accommodates visitors.

Whale Rock Gardens enjoys a prime location, with a new shopping centre just beyond its gates and proximity to a scenic boardwalk over protected wetlands leading to Solar Beach — one of Plettenberg Bay’s most beautiful stretches of coastline. The town’s vibrant centre lies only a five minutes drive away, placing nature, leisure, and lifestyle all within reach. There is a large communal swimming pool located within the estate.
