Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, hotel in Gansbaai

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve offers luxury accommodation featuring spectacular views of ancient forests and the whale watching haven of Walker Bay, just a 30-minute drive from Hermanus.

The location is second to none, incredible ocean and mountain vistas almost wherever you look, but what really made this experience something special are the staff, they are attentive, engaging and friendly. What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

Amazing view and very well situated. Anmarie is very welcoming and always spoils us way too much with yummy rusks and other baked goods. There is a nice sized fridge, and the jug of milk is a generous extra, which is much appreciated!

    The hospitality of the people was genuine. The overall scenery of the town, beach, and ocean are beautiful. The safety of the guesthouse and surroundings were comforting. The host, Johannes, personality is like meeting a friend. I will go back again.

    Small, laid-back town with many activities in and around and some good restaurants. I also enjoyed visiting nearby towns like Hermanus & Stanford. Highlights were Shark Cage Diving, Klein River Cheese Farm and the Elgin Valley Wine Farms. Some nice hiking options in the area as well & De Kelders is great for whale watching and walks along the ocean.

    Gansbaai still feels like a real fishing town although there is a big centre with Spar as the main tenant. There is a lot to do if you are someone that needs to stay active: walking trails, horse riding, wine tasting, and bicycle routes. You can go shark diving or watch the seals at Dyer Island. You can walk all the way from Kleinbaai to Franskraal or just relax on the beach. You can play in the lagoon or swim in the sea. Never a dull moment.

    it is a wonderful alternative to Hermanus (which has become very big and very busy) to enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Walker bay area. we stayed overnight in De Kelders to visit the Grootbos conservation initiative in the morning, it was perfect.

    Gansbaai South Africa is a popular tourist attraction, best known for its great white sharks and superb whale watching. It is well worth visiting and there are an array of activities for the adventurous traveller.

    There doesn’t seem like much to do this time of year unless you have reliable transportation. I guess it would be an ok home base but would still be a drive to anything. Beach access is almost impossible. If you want quiet with incredible views, this is your town. We did eat at a great restaurant but I think there are only a few places in town. It was tough to find a place for a pre dinner drink.

    Linda and Deon are incredible hosts, making you feel at home, magnificient view from bed and balkony, very good breakfast, we recommend Deons special ,-). We had many dolphins swimming just of the shore, while having breakfast. One of the best places to watch wahles, during season (Jun to Nov.) There is plenty to do and explore in this area, and Linda and Deon made sure, that we had the best time. Would always prefer De Kelders over Hermanus. Highly recommended.

    The first thing you see when you enter the apartment is the view....and oh boy, what a view. You could sit for hours on the balcony just staring out to sea. The apartment has everything you need for a self catering stay. The bed was comfy, hot water plentiful, wifi was good and everything worked just fine. Oh and you have your own lock up garage. We will totally be back if we come this way again. Anmarie was a lovely host - thank you once again!

    Peaceful and quiet location in a guarded estate. Feels totally safe. Great new house with a nice decor. Just a quick walk to a private beach. There is also a small boutique hotel "Romansvilla" in the estate which offers breakfast, dinner or just a drink by the pool. Ernst and Nynke of Romansvilla are amazing people and so helpful. They recommended us a fatbike tour with their friend Dave through the Walker Bay Dunes, which was so amazing.

    The apartment was very good value, although basic had everything that was needed. Needed to keep a window open as condensation was a problem but the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, walkable distance from the cliff path. Great cafes nearby especially Gansbaai Bakery. Great service food ,really quirky.Chantal and Francois were really helpful and offered loads of advice about local area.

    This house feels like holiday! Everything is neat, clean and thoughtfully planned for your comfort. The kitchen is well-equipped. The glassed in braai patio lets you enjoy the view while relaxing and braaiing even in bad weather. There were ample heaters and warm blankets on our bed. The host was most welcoming, friendly and responsive.

    Being on the beach and hearing the waves crash on the rocks was amazing. It was our honeymoon and a perfect location to spend time together. We had a warm reception and although it was winter as well,I can't say that we got cold as there is enough amenities to keep us warm.

    Breakfast was good. The view exceptional and the room had most things we needed as it was self catering. Eskom was a bit of a problem but we were given a light. Maybe a couple of candles and matches in the room?
