De Kelders Retreat is a highly recommended B&B with self catering option, providing accommodation in De Kelders for tourists visiting the Cape Overberg region.
Travellers to De Kelders Private House are well looked after. Guest rooms have high ceilings, ample light and ventilation and offer complete privacy. The ocean is 200 steps away; at the beach you can meander on trails and watch the spectacular sunsets over Walker Bay and talk with the whales (June to December), before you return for dinner.
The house offers three luxury bedrooms.
Room 1:
Has a queen size bed, and a full bathroom with spa bath. A small private verandah looks out over the garden. From here, a few steps lead down to the garden, and the pool area where you can enjoy the warmth of the South African sun while reading, relaxing and cooling off in the salt water pool.
Room 2:
Is stylishly fitted with two single beds, with an en-suite shower room and separate toilet. A small, comfortable lounge leads to the private patio garden with beautiful views to the Gansbaai Mountains.
Room 3:
Has a king size bed, with a beautifully comfortable seating and lounge area. Shower room and toilet are ensuite, and there is a small study area. Glass sliding doors open onto a patio garden overlooking the Gansbaai Mountains.
All rooms have wireless internet access, ceiling fans and toiletries provided. A laundry service is also offered. Massage, reflexology is also available by appointment either on site or in the nearby Platbos forest - Africa's southernmost forest.
In the beautifully appointed lounge and dining area, you will find libraries of books, magazines, CD's and videos for entertainment, relaxation and inspiration. From here, you can adjourn to the terrace for afternoon tea, or sunset drinks looking out over the village of De Kelders and the magnificence of Walker Bay and the surrounding mountains.
Simple courses are prepared by your hosts, washed down with local boutique estate wines. And then you can retire to the comfort of beds made with Egyptian white percale cotton, sleeping with the sounds of the whales to awaken refreshed to the smell of a country breakfast of home baked breads, home made jams and preserves, fresh fruit juices and freshly brewed coffee.
Shark cage diving, boat based whale watching, sea kayaking, horse trails, fijnbos trails, forest walks, river cruises, wine tasting, country meanders are all within easy reach. These outings can all be organised by your hosts prior to arrival.
