Gansbaai accommodation on the seafront in De Kelders - Walker Bay whale watching from your room or balcony.

"We take the time, to introduce you to see and experience a paradise to discover.”

Marebella is perfectly situated for whale watching between September and November, as well as Great White shark cage diving.

We invite you to experience the warm, relaxed atmosphere at Marebella Seafront Guesthouse in De Kelders, near Gansbaai. Accommodation in spacious guest rooms on the seafront, overlooking Walker Bay and the cliffs of De Kelders, 3km from Gansbaai. Mediterranean living meets South African hospitality with all rooms having 180 degree uninterrupted panoramic seaviews of Walker Bay. See photos of the guest rooms and house interior in our photo gallery. There are many activities to enjoy in De Kelders, Gansbaai and our area of the Overberg, which is still largely undiscovered by most tourists travelling to South Africa.

De Kelders is the best natural land based whale watching area in the world for Southern Right Whales as they return to Walker Bay each year in greater numbers from July to December. Walk the elevated De Kelders cliff path and witness the whales playing with the kelp (seaweed), sailing, lobtailing, spyhopping, mating or breaching in Walker Bay. Or watch the whales from your room, private terrace or from the upstairs pool deck (more whale watching information here…).

Gansbaai is known as the "Great White Shark capital of the world". One of the densest known populations is found around Dyer Island, off Gansbaai where much shark research is conducted (see Wikipedia). You can dive with Great White Sharks in a specially designed shark cage … read more about shark cage diving in Gansbaai.
