The Bay lodge has a nice homy feeling. Tannie Villieria knows exactly when to talk to you and when to let you do your own thing. We had a wonderfull time at the Bay lodge, just a stone throw away from the ocean. Lovely walking trails and off course fantastic shark cage diving. Thank you Villieria, to make my Husban'd... More

What a breath taking view. After a great drive from CT via the ocean drive we arrived in this small village and were welcomed with a great smile. The B&B is located on top of this beautiful hill with an awesome view of the ocean. A short walk away and you reach this very nice beach. Cold water but refreshing.... More

We loved our stay here. This is a great place to base yourself to explore the Whale Coast. Unfortunately we were visiting at the wrong time to actually see these magnificent creatures and had to make do with the cute resident cat. We stayed here for four nights in two sea facing rooms with balconies on the upper floor. The... More

I stayed in the Bay Lodge with family and we had 2 sea view rooms. The rooms are in great shape, nice interior and a very friendly hostess. She really goes out of her way to make you comfortable. It is a great spot for whale spotting and it is a short drive to Gansbaai itself. I recommend the place... More

We spent a short one night stay in the Bay Lodge as part of our honeymoon after having a shark cage dive near by. The Lodge is located in DeKelders, a residential area a couple of minutes down the road from Gansbaai by car. The house has a lovely few over the bay/ocean when whales are easily spotted at the...

My husband and I stayed at The Bay Lodge in Dec 2012, initially for 1 night but quickly extended our stay in this stunning B & B. What a beautiful place. The owner, Villiera, was the perfect hostess and truly made us feel at home. We have recommended The Bay Lodge to all our friends and will continue to do... More

The location of the lodge is fantastic, in De Kelders which is a lovely little village just a couple of minutes drive down the road from Gansbaai and is even better than Hermanus for Whale watching as the whales come closer to the rocks. We could see whales from the balcony outside our room which was large and as with... More

Got out of the the car and within 1 minute saw whales tail flipping! Villieria, the proprietor, was fantastically helpful and great fun, showing us the best places to both eat and see. We picked the perfect place to go to experience both the hospitality of the Western Cape and the wildlife - truly recommended. Breakfast was great........

Ute and I have been there during our trip around the Garden Route. The Bay Lodge in de Kelders is so much preferable to other locations in and around Hermanus. The whales come quite near the coastline here and from the Bay Lodge's veranda you have them virtually on the spot. Very nice and crisp location. Valieria is a perfect... More
