Matthew

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 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.ChristineSouth Africa - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.Derick JvRensburgSouth Africa - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.

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.JoUnited States

- From € 73.39 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 242 reviewsLinda 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.
MartinaGermany - 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 82 reviewsThe 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!
Fl1nnSouth Africa - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 125 reviewsPeaceful 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.
