De Kelders B&B Western Cape |
You’ve
come to the right place. De Kelders B&B gives the area’s claim to fame as the
best land-based whale watching in the world a whole new meaning. De Kelders
B&B is superbly situated on the shores of Walker Bay where you can bear
witness to the Southern Right Whales who migrate here each year to calve and
nurse their young. They are frequently known to meander along the edges of the
kelp beds literally metres from the rocks! Take time out and stroll to the
water’s edge to get a closer look at host resident seal colony frolicking in
the kelp beds or simply relax comfortably on your private viewing deck and sip
cocktails whilst enjoying a spectacular sunset as you take in the unmatched tranquillity afforded by the protected Fynbos surroundings of the Klipgat
Nature Reserve.
De Kelders B & B is superbly situated on the seafront with protected fynbos
surroundings allowing an uninterrupted view of Walkerbay, where spectacular
sunsets reflect upon the water and alight the mountains beyond. Unmatched
tranquility provides the visitor with excellent land-based whale-watching, a
small seal colony always visible beyond the kelp, rock-rabbits, mongooses,
tortoises, birds and even a nightly visit from a porcupine. The rooms on the 1
st floor were designed, build for and named after host children. Each room has
its own warm character and the sea view from the two double rooms, James and Elmien is magnificent, offering whale watching from bed! Elmien now has a
sliding door, leading to a comfortable private balcony with uninterrupted
views that is undescribable The twin bed room, Daleen, faces the nature
reserve and fynbos garden. All with quality en-suite bathrooms and have both

sometimes on a moonlit night be seen. Weather-permitting, the delectable
breakfast is served on the deck.
Activities: Gansbaai, translated as Goose Bay, is a quaint and picturesque
fisherman’s village less than 5 minutes from De Kelders B&B. It is the
starting point for whale, dolphin and Great White Shark expeditions and boasts
a modern selection of eateries and shops.
The Southern Right Whale: De Kelders is undisputedly the best shore
based whale watching spot in the world. See the whales from the deck, from
your bedroom, metres from the rocks, from the hiking trail and if you really
want to see them from close by, then take a boat trip.
Southern Right whale up close: The Great White Shark: Gansbaai has the
world's largest concentration of the Great White Sharks. See this magnificent
predator at close quarters from the safety of a boat or from a cage in the
water. Great White up close
