We spent one night at a charming bed and breakfast in Gansbaai, and while the facilities are a bit dated, that didn’t take away from the truly wonderful experience we had — all thanks to the outstanding hospitality of Reginaldo. He recommended a nearby restaurant where we enjoyed lunch while watching countless whales right from our table — an unforgettable sight. Back in our room, we were treated to yet another surprise: from the window, we could watch the whales breaching and diving in the ocean. Absolutely incredible! In the evening, Reginaldo prepared a delightful dinner for us with so much care and attention to detail. The food was excellent and made with true dedication. Being welcomed by Reginaldo and experiencing such breathtaking whale sightings made our stay unforgettable

What a great place! Spacious room, very nicely decorated and with everything you need. An enjoyable addition was a pretty set of candles which could be used at the balcony to create romantic atmosphere. Everything very clean, spotless sheets and towels. We felt completely spoiled. Breakfast was not only delicious but also looked like a piece of art. We had to leave early to the airport the second time so we got the best breakfast package we have ever had. A big thank you to the lovely, dedicated hosts. Our stay at 65oncliff was like cherry on a cake for our stay in South Africa. We hope to come back during the whale season!

Gansbaai was a comfortable city with spectacular views where our family explored the southern coast of South Africa. We discovered hidden beaches, spotted many beautiful Protea flowers, sunbathed on Pearly Beach, went to the fish market in the harbor at Gansbaai, lunched on butter chicken and fish and chips at the Blue Goose, restaurant on Hoop St, hiked Klipgat Caves at the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, glimpsed a pod of orcas, and a mother Southern Right whale and her calf, spotted three of the Marine Big 5, dined at the White House, saw Danger Point lighthouse along a four wheel drive track along the beach, found crazy amounts of beautiful shells on the beach. It was an epic adventure.

We would recommend everyone to stay here! The beach and the estate were awesome. The massages were so good, I had two of them ;) the food at the small restaurant was just great. They really put all the affort they can in this place which makes it magical. Thank you so much - we send all the love from switzerland ♥️
