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.

We loved the location. The sea view from the room was amazing. We received a warm welcome from the host who showed us around. We loved all the little extras in the room and in the fridge for us, which was really great. The bathroom had a bath and a shower and separate basins. Toiletries were supplied and fresh towels. The mattress was comfy and the bedding was warm as we stayed over when the weather was particularly cold and stormy. Its a great room for a stayover and the price is great.

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.

    Helen is such a gracious host. We stayed at Wave Dancer during a 17 day trip to South Africa and she was in constant communication with us about our travels and arrivals. She gave us recommendations for things to do in the area and made a reservation for us at a local restaurant to ensure we had a nice place to eat dinner during our stay. Her house is beautiful and very clean with some of the most spectacular ocean views I have ever seen from a home. I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re traveling to Gansbaai.

    Linda is a super host. Amazing Grace lived up to its name and exceeded our expectation and every way. Location is perfect,, a stone throw from a relacing coastal walk. Lovely room and the little touches made it feel more at home. It definitely was a 5 star getaway. Linda thought everything through leaving us wanting for nothing. Breakfast in the morning with ocean view listening to a symphony of birds was a blessing. Amazing Grace is a home away from home and looking forward to my next visit to Gansbaai.

    A cozy place with a wonderful host! It was a big pleasure talking to Johannes! He gave us lots of advise and useful information on surrounding area and walked us to the best beach in Gansbaai and shared a glass of Amarulo during a nice conversation in the evening! Special thanks for a huge discount on Shark Cage Diving tour! In the morning we had a very lovely breakfast and left the property with the most positive mood possible! Thank you, Johannes! We'll definitely come back to your B&B!

    A very nice guesthouse that makes you feel at home abroad. Located directly on the cliff with an amazing view of the ocean and the whales 🐋. Mrs. Wallce took real good care of all our needs and treated us like family, breakfasts where great, she organized our dinners and got us tables at the best restaurants in town , cared for our transportation, etc. We had a great time ,even the rain didn't ruin our holiday.

    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.

    This house feels like holiday! Everything is neat, clean and thoughtfully planned for your comfort. The kitchen is well-equipped. 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. The host was most welcoming, friendly and responsive.
