Travellers
to the De Kelders private house, are well looked after. Guest rooms have
high ceilings, ample light and ventilation and offer complete privacy.
The house is a gem for the magazine, movie, book and music fundi.
The large
and spacious garden is a ten year creation of Overberg flora, planted with
privacy being the keyword. The salt water pool a welcome escape from the
summer heat, the open terrace is secluded and offers the perfect hideaway
for reading, drinks and a South African braai, the ocean is 200 steps away.

| At
the beach you can meander on trails and watch the spectacular sunsets over
Walker Bay and talk with the whales (June- December), before you return
for dinner, simple courses prepared by your hosts, washed down with local
boutique estate wines and then to the comfort of beds made with Egyptian
white percale cotton, sleeping with the sounds of the whales to awaken
refreshed to the smell of a country breakfast of home baked confectionery
and home made jams.

Cameron Ewart-Smith; Getaway
Magazine March 2003
"..this little town is able
to offer some of the world's best boat- and shore-based whale watching
and unquestionably the world's best white-shark diving. the sensational
marine tourist attractions should not be the only things to lure you, however.
some of the cape's best-conserved fynbos adorns the mountains in the area
and numerous walks and trails criss-cross it. the lighthouse at danger
point is open to tourists, and you can climb the stairs to the revolving
light and peer out at the restless waters that cover the remains of the
famous birkenhead wreck. after a week spent wandering the streets of gansbaai
and its surroundings, we can comfortably say that this, truly, is the gem
of the Overberg."
