Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, hotel in Gansbaai

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve offers luxury accommodation featuring spectacular views of ancient forests and the whale watching haven of Walker Bay, just a 30-minute drive from Hermanus.

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!

Walkerbay Accommodation, hotel in Gansbaai

Featuring free WiFi, Walkerbay Accommodation offers accommodation on the seafront in Franskraalstrand, 26 km from Hermanus. Free private parking is available on site.

The room + bathroom were clean with both a comfortable bed and couch. I especially appreciated the small touches such as candles, bath salts and breakfast items in the fridge. The sea-view from the porch was even better than expected. Enjoyed chatting to the host and meeting the pets on their way past.

Amazing view and very well situated. Anmarie is very welcoming and always spoils us way too much with yummy rusks and other baked goods. There is a nice sized fridge, and the jug of milk is a generous extra, which is much appreciated!

    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.

    it is a wonderful alternative to Hermanus (which has become very big and very busy) to enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Walker bay area. we stayed overnight in De Kelders to visit the Grootbos conservation initiative in the morning, it was perfect.

    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.

    This is a beautiful and well equipped apartment situated just above the Gansbaai harbor overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Everything is absolutely perfect: the view, outside porch with outdoor barbecue, the bigscreen TV, beds, linen, kitchen equipment, bathrooms, etc. Most of all, there are numerous activities in close vicinity, which include diving with white sharks as well as whales, dolphins, penguins, and seal watching. Gansbaai is definitely worth a visit, and 1 Harbour Rd is the perfect place to stay.

    A lovely overnight stay in this small guesthouse in Gansbaai run by the delightful Vilieria, who made us feel truly at home. A great option if you’re in the area for a whale watching or shark diving trip. Alas, high winds meant no boats were sailing, so instead we simply watched from our beachfront terrace. And were treated to the sight of at least two whales close inshore. The home-cooked breakfast was delicious too. Warmly recommended!

    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.

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.

    Being on the beach and hearing the waves crash on the rocks was amazing. It was our honeymoon and a perfect location to spend time together. We had a warm reception and although it was winter as well,I can't say that we got cold as there is enough amenities to keep us warm.
