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 spent one night at a charming bed and breakfast in Gansbaai, and while the facilities are a bit dated, that didn’t take away from the truly wonderful experience we had — all thanks to the outstanding hospitality of Reginaldo. He recommended a nearby restaurant where we enjoyed lunch while watching countless whales right from our table — an unforgettable sight. Back in our room, we were treated to yet another surprise: from the window, we could watch the whales breaching and diving in the ocean. Absolutely incredible! In the evening, Reginaldo prepared a delightful dinner for us with so much care and attention to detail. The food was excellent and made with true dedication. Being welcomed by Reginaldo and experiencing such breathtaking whale sightings made our stay unforgettable

This is a guesthouse style accomodation in a residential area. We had a nice seaview from our cozy but very small room. Lovely shared area upstairs with open fire. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. The staff were fabulous helping us call an Uber and booking a spot at the Blue Goose restaurant ( which I’d highly recommend)

Gansbaai was a comfortable city with spectacular views where our family explored the southern coast of South Africa. We discovered hidden beaches, spotted many beautiful Protea flowers, sunbathed on Pearly Beach, went to the fish market in the harbor at Gansbaai, lunched on butter chicken and fish and chips at the Blue Goose, restaurant on Hoop St, hiked Klipgat Caves at the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, glimpsed a pod of orcas, and a mother Southern Right whale and her calf, spotted three of the Marine Big 5, dined at the White House, saw Danger Point lighthouse along a four wheel drive track along the beach, found crazy amounts of beautiful shells on the beach. It was an epic adventure.

We self catered. The kitchen was not properly equipped for self catering. Presumably most guests do not self cater. The kitchen was large but didn't have basic pots, pans, kitchen utensils, chopping board etc for cooking breakfast or an evening meal.
