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!

We loved the location. The sea view from the room was amazing. We received a warm welcome from the host who showed us around. We loved all the little extras in the room and in the fridge for us, which was really great. The bathroom had a bath and a shower and separate basins. Toiletries were supplied and fresh towels. The mattress was comfy and the bedding was warm as we stayed over when the weather was particularly cold and stormy. Its a great room for a stayover and the price is great.

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 US$71.44 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 46 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.
