Outdoor enthusiasts can relax by catch-and-release fishing for cob or\u00a0<em>harders<\/em>\u00a0in their very own unique salt water lagoon, or take a refreshing swim in the pool. Jog around the secure 1 km wheelchair-friendly pathways surrounding the lagoon, or hike along the many outdoor trails. Take your boat out for whale-watching or deep sea fishing, or take pleasure in a round of golf at the premier 27-hole course at Hermanus Golf Club.<\/p>\n<p>Whale Bay Cascades is a secure lifestyle development with ecologically friendly features, set to be built on the last remaining seafront development site in Hermanus.<\/p>\n<p>Features include a seawater lagoon 13m above sea-level, with seawater sourced from nearby abalone farms being transferred via the lagoon, streams and waterfalls back to the sea at the rate of about three million litres an hour.<\/p>\n<p>This will facilitate the development of the lagoon\u2019s own marine eco-system over a period of three years. According to leading marine biologists this will be the first lagoon of its kind in the world and offers a study opportunity never imagined before. One of SA\u2019s well known marine biologists will be using this opportunity to make a study of the development of the marine eco system in the lagoon and will be publishing the results. Apart from the natural development, the lagoon will also be stocked with catch-and-release sport fish.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the potential effects of global warming in mind, \u00a0the recently serviced 12 seafront erven were raised by 1.25m and \u00a0a sea erosion protection wall constructed on the seafront making use of previously secured excavated boulders, some weighing more than four ton. Before excavation was started 5 000 plants were harvested from the site and moved to the Groot Bos Nature Reserve nursery, from where they will be returned to the site once it has been established. Water from the roofs of residential units will be secured in below-ground containers and will be used to irrigate the gardens<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immerse yourself in lavish living\u00a0 Immerse yourself in exclusive, luxury waterside living by investing in a home built on a beautiful seawater lagoon in an ocean view paradise.\u00a0Whale Bay Cascades\u00a0is a secure, landscaped estate of indigenous coastal fynbos where you can watch the whales and listen to the waves while enjoying the champagne air of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":633,"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions\/633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/whalebay.co.za\/wp2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
