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!

My recent stay at this coastal gem was an experience I'll cherish forever. What sets this property apart is the fact that every single room offers direct waterfront access, making it an unforgettable retreat. Upon arrival, I was immediately captivated by the brilliant design of this location. Every room had been thoughtfully crafted to maximize its proximity to the water. Each room was elegantly furnished, with a focus on immersing guests in the coastal ambiance. The large windows and private terrace provided unobstructed vistas of the waterfront. The gentle lapping of the water against the shore and the picturesque views were constant companions during my stay. The convenience of having direct waterfront access from every room cannot be overstated. Whether for a leisurely morning by the water, a peaceful evening stroll, or simply to savor the coastal breeze, it was all just steps from your doorstep. The staff at this coastal retreat were attentive and ensured that every guest had a seamless experience. Whether it was arranging activities, providing helpful local tips, or simply making you feel at home, their commitment to guest satisfaction was truly commendable. Now, let's talk about breakfast – it was a highlight of my stay. The morning spread was nothing short of stunning. Fresh and delectable dishes were served with a view that's beyond words. In summary, this coastal gem, where every room offers direct waterfront access and serves stunning breakfasts, is a haven for those seeking a serene retreat by the water. It's an ideal destination for relaxation and immersion in the beauty of the waterfront setting. I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional property to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway. Thank you to the entire team for creating such an extraordinary experience. I eagerly anticipate my return to this waterfront paradise.

    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.

Our room was very clean, well equipped and spacious, our bed was ultra comfortable, and when it rained we got to watch Netflix which they offer on their tvs. Perfect WiFi. Their custom breakfast is world class. We will definitely stay again.

Perfectly located in De Kelders, Villiera gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities, and breakfast was delicious and plentiful. If visiting the Gansbaai area, I highly recommend staying at The Bay Lodge.
