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.

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

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 of America

- From $71.76 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 48 reviewsHelen is such a gracious host. We stayed at Wave Dancer during a 17 day trip to South Africa and she was in constant communication with us about our travels and arrivals. She gave us recommendations for things to do in the area and made a reservation for us at a local restaurant to ensure we had a nice place to eat dinner during our stay. Her house is beautiful and very clean with some of the most spectacular ocean views I have ever seen from a home. I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re traveling to Gansbaai.
RobynUnited States of America - 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 87 reviewsWe loved everything about our stay at Whale Sea Cottage. The house is beautiful, with three bathrooms for four bedrooms, which was a lovely treat. We had beautiful evening views and a lovely stroll down by the sea. The hosts also left a lovely birthday treat. The swimming pool area / front patio is so wonderful, we spent 90% of our time out there. Janeen was also super friendly and easy to communicate with through out our stay. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone visiting Gansbaai.JaclynSouth Africa

- 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 27 reviewsThe house is right at the beachfront and the check-in was beautifully done. The hosts were very friendly and provided good information about the area and its attractions. The house is fully stocked with all sorts of amenities you can need in a self catering accommodation. It helped greatly that during the intermittent power outages the wifi was still working. The place was very clean and the games room was a wonderful surprise. The bedrooms are nicely done and the beds quite comfortable..

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.
