The property is exceptional. The views of the bay are beautiful but what makes it is the property itself. It is clean, well decorated and has everything you need to relax and enjoy the area. The breakfast was also incredible.

    Very comfortable room.. In a quiet attractive area of Gansbaii, right on the seafront with lovely view - an ideal location if you are there in the whale-watching season. Helen is a charming hostess who went out of her way to make us feel at home and rang two restaurants to make bookings for us. The included breakfast for us was perfect (with beautifully presented fruit salad) but if you wanted ‘the full English’ then maybe you would have to ask in advance.

    Great location right at the Ocean front. Family Room booked by me was very cosy, neat & clean and very comfortable. Villieria…our host & owner of the property is a great host & she took good care of us. She even guided us with suggestions for local tours & restaurants. Breakfast provided was of exceptional quality. We stayed in the property for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Guesthouse is situated in a lovely quiet residential neighbourhood - large & spacious rooms with very comfy King-size bed. Well-equipped - Nespresso machine & pods, tea bags, some rusks, bedtime chocolate each, full DSTV package, big fluffly towels and nice soap/lotion in the bathroom. We were in Room 2 upstairs - great ocean views and nice balcony. Breakfast was excellent - good choices and plenty of food. Hosts very friendly - would stay here again.

    Beautiful B&B with amazing views over Walkers Bay. Linda was a great host and a very good whale spotter from the terrace. De Kelders is a great location for exploring the whale coast if you have a car. Bad weather stopped us from going out to sea as we planned but we still found plenty to do

    Great Location near the beach. Quiet and private with own garden. Although small, the room had everything that we required and was very well designed. The host was friendly and helpful.
