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.

Great place for the price! Karin is very sweet and accommodating. Towels and sheets are provided. There’s a mini fridge that was useful. Shower had hot water for 3 people. Parking was in the back of the house and felt pretty safe. Not many great restaurant options around. Quick drive to the main road. Overall a great experience.

Helen was so kind. The room was extremely comfortable. We unfortunately were not well during our stay and Helen could not have been more accommodating. She even sent us off to our next destination with some fruit. The breakfast that she prepared was lovely and the view of the ocean was spectacular!
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.

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 definitely the best host ever.
She made us feel at home, with her kindness and her attention for every details.
The room was nice and tidy, the bathroom perfectly clean and Helen cuddled us with a serie of lovely attentions.
We had all the lower level for us and we felt as we were at home.
The house is amazing, very clean and it is in one of the best neighbourhood in Gansbaai; the view of the ocean is superbe and if you're lucky enough you can see whales too from the window.
The breakfast was lovely and we really enjoy it.
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.
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
If you are looking for a holiday destination that is peaceful and without the busy of other destinations then Gaansbaai is for u.
McLaren self catering is the place for u to stay with family, has everything u require to keep yourself fed and accommodated while on holiday.
Thank you Leigh
