The-Ark B & B

Discover an unparalleled luxury property nestled along the Western Cape's most extensive stretch of untouched sandy beach. This wild and scenic coastline, once home to only a select few holiday residences and a scattering of permanent residents, now offers an exclusive retreat into nature. Experience the unique charm of The Ark B&B, a 3-star seaside bed and breakfast located in the heart of Pearly Beach. Believed to be one of the village's oldest buildings, The Ark B&B was thoughtfully constructed atop the highest dune, offering commanding views over Pearly Beach—a vantage point that inspired its name. We offer three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each designed with your comfort in mind. Enjoy modern conveniences, including en-suite bathrooms featuring a shower, or a shower over bath, flush toilet and a wash basin. Your comfortable room is located on the ground floor of The Ark.. Still, we warmly invite you to take full advantage of our spectacular viewing deck, from where you will be treated to breathtaking scenes of the white shoreline stretching into an endless sea view. From June to November, prepare to be captivated by one of nature's most extraordinary spectacles right from our doorstep. This is whale season in Pearly Beach, a prime time to witness magnificent Southern Right Whales as they migrate to our warm, sheltered bays. You'll have the incredible opportunity to see these gentle giants play with their newborn calves in the safe, shallow waters close to shore. It's a truly unforgettable experience that draws visitors from around the world.

Area Info

A pristine, sparsely populated seaside resort village for the guest who prefers the tranquillity of getting away from it all.

Not even 20 km from Gansbaai, Pearly Beach has been described as the longest undisturbed sand beach in the Western Cape. Long walks and solitude are the order of the day here, so if it's bright lights you're after, this isn't the part of the world for you.

The village is on the migratory whale route, and one of the highest concentrations of whales can be spotted off the beach. The proximity to Gansbaai and De Kelders means that you are not far from the Danger Point Peninsula, a place where both Southern Right Whales and Great White Sharks are a major draw card.
