Located in the heart of Gansbaai, Tourist Lodge Gansbaai offers well-appointed, self-catering cottages with patios. It features a garden and barbecue facilities. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

We just stayed for one night, but we would definitively stay there again.There is a gascooker and some rechargeable lamps, which is very nice during loadshedding. The beds are very comfortable. The host was welcoming and gave us recommendations for whalewatching cruises (marine dynamics). If you're looking for a nice breakfast before your marine big 5 tour, visit the great white house.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
