We had a wonderful stay at the Saltysky apartment. The views were absolutely stunning, and one of the highlights was enjoying dinner on the rooftop deck while watching the sunset. The location was perfect — just a short walk to cute local cafés...

Welcome to Gansbaai! We’re glad to host you and hope you enjoy the relaxed pace, fresh sea air, and natural beauty of this special coastal town. We love sharing this area with guests — from unforgettable whale watching in season to shark cage diving, scenic walks, and quiet mornings with great coffee. It’s a place where you can truly slow down and enjoy the ocean lifestyle. In our spare time, we enjoy being outdoors, fishing, and exploring the coastline, so we’re always happy to share local tips or recommendations to make your stay even better. We hope you have a comfortable, easy, and memorable stay — and we’re here if you need anything.
Gansbaai is a charming working fishing town on South Africa’s Whale Coast, known for its rugged coastline, fresh ocean air, and authentic small-town feel. Once a quiet harbour for local fishermen, it has become one of the world’s most famous destinations for marine wildlife encounters. Just offshore lies the legendary “Shark Alley” near Dyer Island and Geyser Rock, home to one of the largest Cape fur seal colonies in the region. This rich marine ecosystem makes Gansbaai one of the best places in the world for shark cage diving, offering guests the unforgettable opportunity to see bronze whaler and other shark species up close in their natural environment. From June to November, the coastline comes alive with southern right whales migrating to Walker Bay. Guests can often spot whales directly from the cliffs at De Kelders or join boat-based whale watching tours for an even closer experience of breaching whales, tail slaps, and calves playing in the bay. Beyond the ocean adventures, Gansbaai has a relaxed coastal charm with excellent local coffee spots. Enjoy a freshly brewed cup at Coffee & Co, a favourite for its artisan coffee and laid-back atmosphere, or visit the Gansbaai Bakhuis, known for its warm baked goods, friendly service, and true small-town hospitality. Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, Gansbaai offers a unique blend of raw natural beauty, marine wildlife, and welcoming local culture along one of South Africa’s most scenic coastlines.
