The little town of De Kelders is located in the Overberg region of the Western Cape, and lies just 5 km North of Gansbaai, about 25 minutes’ drive from Hermanus. De Kelders is the scenic portal to Gansbaai and with its panoramic views of Walker Bay, undoubtedly one of the best whale-watching destinations on the planet.
Explore the caves in De Kelders. Hike along the coast and walk along the sandy white beaches of Franskraal and Pearly Beach. Visit the annual Crayfish Festival over Easter. Abalone (Perlemoen) is professionally farmed in the Dangerpoint area. The Gansbaai Festival takes place annually in July in the Gansbaai harbour and the Winter Fynbos show is a great attraction not to be missed.
The De Kelders cave is the only freshwater cave next to the coast of Africa, which has been changed into a swimming place.

De Kelders Reviews
Definitely a fantastic place to visit during whale season.
The views are just a true beauty of Nature. Walking trails, whales season. comes with the best accommodation in the area and restaurants too.
What a spectacular find, stunning view! A family birthday weekend blessed with good weather and whales to entertain us. Our every need was met, spacious, well equipped, eye for detail and just so welcoming. Thank you Ms Thelma, excellent service and thanks to the owners who allowed us to enjoy it too.
Breakfast in bed is what will keep you going back. Check in and check out went smoothly. Jonathan and Handre along with the staff is absolutely amazing people. Thank you❤️
I will be back.
De Kelders is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The views are simply magnificent. Long stretches of quiet beaches. Whale season is incredible, in 2018 we had more than a 1000 whales in the bay.
However, De Kelders is loved and cherished by well seasoned travelers who return year upon year.
