he village of Pearly Beach is situated along the famous Whale Coast Route in South Africa, in an area of outstanding beauty and undulating dunes, with the Atlantic Ocean in front and the Wolfhuis Mountain as a backdrop.

Oystercatcher House is situated near a pristine 11 km long stretch of beach where you can safely walk for miles in both directions. (We are only about 50 m from the shore.) On the beach, you will come across a variety of birds like sandpipers, oystercatchers, seagulls and many more. It is truly a secluded getaway for outdoor enthusiasts, providing opportunities for hiking, biking, and more.
Here on the whale coast, you can experience some of the best land-based whale-watching in the world (June to November). At Oystercatcher House, spotting them directly from the house and deck is a daily occurrence. Dolphins, seals, tortoises and a myriad of species of birds also provide a delightful contact with nature. You will mostly find everything you need at the Pearly Beach Shop, which is situated at the gate to the Pearly Beach Resort, just off Main Road.
There are also supermarkets and shops in Gansbaai (24 km away) and Hermanus (70km away). We are well-positioned as a weekend escape from Cape Town or Johannesburg, as we are only about two hours from Cape Town International Airport. The roads are first-class and in top condition.
The scenery captivates you. Oystercatcher House provides the perfect getaway from city life, with a peaceful ambience and seaside charm.
Whether relaxing on-site or exploring nearby attractions, guests are sure to enjoy an unforgettable stay. Your hosts, Charl and Lorraine, are close by if anything is needed.
