Located in the heart of Gansbaai, Tourist Lodge Gansbaai offers well-appointed, self-catering cottages with patios. It features a garden and barbecue facilities. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

We just stayed for one night, but we would definitively stay there again.There is a gascooker and some rechargeable lamps, which is very nice during loadshedding. The beds are very comfortable. The host was welcoming and gave us recommendations for whalewatching cruises (marine dynamics). If you're looking for a nice breakfast before your marine big 5 tour, visit the great white house.

    Everything about the Cliff Lodge was amazing. Incredible view, clear view of whales in the Ocean. No need for a tour as you can see everything from the balcony and your room! Such a lovely stay and we wish we could of stayed longer. Amazing staff and hosts. A warm and homely feel. Organised our dinners without us asking at fantastic restaurants. Our stay at the Cliff Lodge made our trip to South Africa the best!
