Company information
My husband originally build our lovely home in 2012/13, overlooking Walker-Bay in De Kelders Gansbaai(Western Cape) South Africa. Gansbaai is a small fishing village in the Overberg.
It was Syewarts retirement dream to have a Guest House by the sea. When my husband bought the plot he did not know that the Southern Right Whales come to calf annually in the bay and uses the bay as a nursing spot for their calves - right in-front of the house.
We both well traveled, I,m South African and my hubby British. A Guest House sounded perfect as we both love people and would be able to relate to other travelers. So that's what we did and we love it !!
Property information
65onCliff is a modern Guesthouse, owner operated with Boutique accommodation.
Situated above the cliffs of De Kelders in Gansbaai, South Africa.
Luxury and spacious rooms with lots of natural light flowing into the rooms, all with ocean views overlooking Walker Bay. This is one of the best land based Southern Right Whale watching spots in the world. (June to November annually)
Less than 2 hours from Cape Town and 25min to Hermanus, 65onCliff is perfectly located for all Whale Coast adventures and to explore all the Overberg has to offer.
Due to the tranquility and peace of our location we have NO TVs on the property. We believe all nature lovers will fall in love and appreciate the beauty, tranquility and calmness of this special place close to our hearts in the African sun.
The sunsets over Walker Bay from 65onCliff are exceptional!
Our Sunset Lounge/Restaurant with indoor and open air seating overlooking the ocean from 3rd floor, East to West is the perfect view. Enjoy a Artisan Pizza, Coffee & Cake or maybe you'll fancy a romantic Dinner.
