Privacy! Cleanliness of the room! Comfy bed! All facilities one could need.
65onCliff is located in De Kelders, Gansbaai and all rooms have ocean views. Between June and November it’s the perfect location for land based whale watching.

Unbelievable view from a great balcony. Very spacious accommodation. Good WiFi connection. Small gifts like yogurt, milk, cookies made us feel welcome. Easy check-in.
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.

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.

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.
Located right on the beach opposite the shark diving and whale watching boats' launch site, there was always something going on to watch. The Great White House restaurant was lovely, great food and good service - reasonably priced. Sitting under the whale skeleton was neat.
Very beautiful and comfortable accommodation.
The hosts were generous enough to assist us with coffee and milk (we didn't realize it was self catering)
The fish curry and the farm bread at the restaurant was delicious!
