The host (Johannes) was able to accommodate me last minute deciding to arrive early which was amazing and allowed me a day of exploring without luggage.
Location is a short walk from a beautiful coastal hiking trail and beaches to explore and Johannes was so helpful with suggestions for where to go and directions on how to get there. The surrounding area feels very safe, as a solo female traveller, I felt comfortable walking places even after dark.
I was offered a free room upgrade as I was the only guest for the night. The room was bright and clean and the whole bnb was decorated and felt homey. The breakfast in the morning was filling and made by Johannes himself.
Johannes was also able to arrange a shuttle to take me to my next destination.
I’ve been staying in hostels so this was a very nice change and honestly the best sleep I’ve had since arriving in SA! Thank you!

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.Derick JvRensburgSouth Africa - 8.0Scored 8.0

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 of America

- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 87 reviewsWe loved everything about our stay at Whale Sea Cottage. The house is beautiful, with three bathrooms for four bedrooms, which was a lovely treat. We had beautiful evening views and a lovely stroll down by the sea. The hosts also left a lovely birthday treat. The swimming pool area / front patio is so wonderful, we spent 90% of our time out there. Janeen was also super friendly and easy to communicate with through out our stay. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone visiting Gansbaai.JaclynSouth Africa

- 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 27 reviewsThe house is right at the beachfront and the check-in was beautifully done. The hosts were very friendly and provided good information about the area and its attractions. The house is fully stocked with all sorts of amenities you can need in a self catering accommodation. It helped greatly that during the intermittent power outages the wifi was still working. The place was very clean and the games room was a wonderful surprise. The bedrooms are nicely done and the beds quite comfortable..
