Whale of a Time - Sedgefield — Apartment Accommodation
17 Makou Street, 6573 Sedgefield, South Africa
Check live rates on Booking.com
A garden-facing apartment in one of the Garden Route's quietest towns, Whale of a Time sits close enough to Sedgefield's coastline that Swartvlei Beach is reachable on foot in under twenty minutes. The apartment has a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and a kitchenette for everyday meals, but the outdoor setup earns its keep: a sun terrace, a balcony with garden views, a barbecue, and a fireplace for evenings that turn cool. The surrounding garden adds a layer of privacy that many coastal apartments at this price point don't offer.
Sedgefield itself runs at a slower pace than its neighbours — no major strip, no crowds — which makes it a reasonable base for day trips west to Wilderness or east toward Knysna. Free parking and WiFi are included. Windsurfing is available nearby, with Swartvlei Lagoon drawing a regular crew of kitesurfers and windsurfers when conditions are right.
