Incredible views and amazing design. The cottage was very well thought out with a living room, separate bedroom, and connecting outdoor space. Facilities were very thoughtful — outlets everywhere, functional bathroom, etc. Food was very good.

Pure Sea was worth the drive from Cape Town. The property is beautiful and the staff is so friendly. I stayed here because I wanted to relax and watch the whales and that's exactly what I did. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer. I highly recommend staying here.

A very nice guesthouse that makes you feel at home abroad. Located directly on the cliff with an amazing view of the ocean and the whales 🐋. Mrs. Wallce took real good care of all our needs and treated us like family, breakfasts where great, she organized our dinners and got us tables at the best restaurants in town , cared for our transportation, etc. We had a great time ,even the rain didn't ruin our holiday.

The room was small but perfectly formed. The staff were friendly and efficient, the breakfast was lovely. But is was the views that made this trip. If you were any closer to the whales you would have been swallowed. The best place for viewing and hearing whales.

Gansbaai is 2+ hours from Cape Town and is remote. Disappointed that the great whites have moved out of the area. People are very nice and friendly. The seafood at the Great White restaurant was excellent and very reasonable

We had an international wine and food society event over the weekend so visited all the wineries in the area as well as Stanford. Gansbaai was in the middle, so to speak, so very convenient for trips.

The penguin rehabilitation centre was excellent. The harbour is not tourist friendly. If you come to Gansbaai you would love to eat take away fish, But Saturday ,late afternoon no fish and chips were open

It is close to De Kelders, where we saw MANY whales. it is close to Franskraal, which is beautiful. The Boat trip at Marine Dynamics was awesome and the food and atmosphere at the restaurant was exceptional.

The location is the best feature. Close second is the hot tub on the balcony. We loved every bit of time we spent at the house. We would've loved to have it for the weekend too. The self catering equipment is of high quality. The enterinment room in the basement is awesome if you are in a bigger company. The whales are playing along so nicely as long as one keeps looking at the ocean.
