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.

Gansbaai South Africa is a popular tourist attraction, best known for its great white sharks and superb whale watching. It is well worth visiting and there are an array of activities for the adventurous traveller.

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 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.
A cozy place with a wonderful host! It was a big pleasure talking to Johannes! He gave us lots of advise and useful information on surrounding area and walked us to the best beach in Gansbaai and shared a glass of Amarulo during a nice conversation in the evening! Special thanks for a huge discount on Shark Cage Diving tour!
In the morning we had a very lovely breakfast and left the property with the most positive mood possible!
Thank you, Johannes! We'll definitely come back to your B&B!
The 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..
Aire del Mar Guest House is more like a Luxurious Affordable hotel setup. The rooms are large, with a fabulous king-size ( sink in never to be found awake super soft ) bed. The staff was very friendly. I was able to park my car ' with bike' behind the security gate. The Aire del Mar is within walking distance of the Shark Tours and Great White House Restaurant - Gansbaai . The restaurant front entrance is deceiving as once inside - the Food and dining is fantastic
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.
It’s a lovely villa just above the sea with great views! A little walkway leads directly down to the beach - perfect white sand and blue waters (cold ;))
Everybody at the Romans Villa is friendly and will help You with anything You ask. Food is delicious and the Bar is equipped very well (even 4 different Grappas)
Thank You everybody at the Romans Villa for lovely days in Gansbaai - we will be back!
Even with the Covid restrictions, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. Breakfast was excellent with freshly made coffee and enough to eat. The fireplace in the room was great for the cold and wet weekend that we spent at De Kelders, with al, the requirements met in the kitchen part of the substantial room and bathroom with a big bath and nice walk in rain shower.
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.
Stunning location with the most amazing views, great terraces and a pool, parking in front of hotel, very quiet
Beautiful designed, stylish spacious hotel rooms with comfortable beds
Great breakfast with anything you can wish for
Very friendly, attentative staff with a great attention to detail and very helpful
I hope we can come back here.
The tranquility of Gansbaai matched with the hospitality of the host were impeccable. The amazing pathway to the beach was incredible and then arriving at the beach was even better.
Very cute place to stay and enjoy Gansbaai. Gina & Ottl are very welcoming hosts. Very intimate to sit around they‘re dining room table for breakfast and enjoy the yummie bfast.
This was the perfect little hotel to enjoy Gansbaai. The owners are incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The hotel and rooms have a great view of the ocean. Overall recommended!
Absolutely beautiful house in a stunning and quiet location. We also ate at the little bed and breakfast down the road and the food was excellent. Would love to go back!
Service was exceptional. Staff was friendly. The bed I slept in made me feel like I'm on cloud 9. The breakfast was delicious. And they didn't have cheap coffee!!!
Excellent Service - Hosts informed me that I forgot my shoes at the hotel and even shipped it to their Camps Bay Hotel which is closer to where I live :-)
