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.

    Helen 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.

    Aire del Mar Guest House is more like a Luxurious Affordable hotel setup. The rooms are large, with a fabulous king-size ( sink in never to be found awake super soft ) bed. The staff was very friendly. I was able to park my car ' with bike' behind the security gate. The Aire del Mar is within walking distance of the Shark Tours and Great White House Restaurant - Gansbaai . The restaurant front entrance is deceiving as once inside - the Food and dining is fantastic

    A very nice guesthouse that makes you feel at home abroad. Located directly on the cliff with an amazing view of the ocean and the whales 🐋. Mrs. Wallce took real good care of all our needs and treated us like family, breakfasts where great, she organized our dinners and got us tables at the best restaurants in town , cared for our transportation, etc. We had a great time ,even the rain didn't ruin our holiday.

    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.

    Great stay at an amazing location. Close to many attractions or activities i.e shark cage diving or marine safari, and the views of the harbor are spectacular. The owner Aaron and his wife are a delight and their hospitality makes you feel at home. Highly recommended to all types of travelers who would like to explore Gansbaai and nearby Kleinbaai/De Kelders/Hermanus.

    Amazing location and lovely guesthouse. Watched the whales move slowly through Walker Bay whilst having breakfast on the balcony! Klipgat Caves and beach walk/hikes also very close by. Gansbaai a couple of km’s away. Superior King room was as pictured with private balcony. Tanya was a welcoming and efficient host.

    Beautiful B&B with amazing views over Walkers Bay. Linda was a great host and a very good whale spotter from the terrace. De Kelders is a great location for exploring the whale coast if you have a car. Bad weather stopped us from going out to sea as we planned but we still found plenty to do
