Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The position overlooking the ocean with the views of whales and dolphins was a real treat. Monica who was in charge was a friendly host.
Wonderful location. Whales visible in front of the guest house. Very friendly staff. All very clean.
The floors could be cleaner. Walking barefoot was not great. I would have preferred warm white bedside lights, not bright white.
On arrival, we were met with friendliness and took us through what we needed to know. Our room had a wonderful view of the sea and had lots of whales right in front of us. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed. Being able to open up the folding doors and sit in the deck was fabulous. Being able to sit on your bed and there is the ocean right in front of you is very relaxing. She found some very good restaurants close by
A selection of pillows would be great Off street parking is a squeeze and a narrow downhill reverse to get out
Location was the best. Very friendly staff. Breakfasts are awesome. Room was cozy.
Breakfast was really good, and the staff very Friendly.
Meerblick vom Frühstückstisch. Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus. Sehr ruhige und sichere Lage. Unglaubliche Aussicht. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr gute Möglichkeit Wale zu beobachten.
Keine Steckdosen im Badezimmer sowie wenig Ablagen im Bad.
Fantastic views with excellent food & service.
Die Unterkunft liegt am Ende von Gansbaai direkt am Meer, sodass es sehr ruhig ist und man einen unglaublichen Ausblick auf die Bucht hat. Man sieht im Winter vom Balkon aus den ganzen Tag über viele Wale. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet und bieten alles, was man brauchen könnte. Besonders positiv bleiben die Gastgeber in Erinnerung, die gerne Empfehlungen für Restaurants oder Aktivitäten geben und diese auf Wunsch direkt buchen.
Aufgrund der ruhigen Lage sind die meisten Restaurants nur mit dem Auto erreichbar, was für Südafrika aber ja nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Außerdem ist der Ausblick diesen Kompromiss definitiv wert!
I had a fabulous stay. Desi was welcoming and accommodating to make my stay feel like home away from home. The location was more than I could dream of.
An accessible microwave in the room or communal area will be great to warm up a take out meal.
The friendly staff and the stunning view
The bath plug leaks so one has to run the water constantly in order to have a bath. The sliding wooden door catch needs fixing so that the door can close easily.
Great location, fantastic breakfast and wonderful views
Die mooiste uitsig op die see asook die walvisse wat ons gereeld gesien het vanaf ons stoepie, was n belewenis! Monica en Dezi was uitstekende en vriendelike gasvrouens. Die ontbyte was heerlik en omdat dit privaat op ons eie stoepie bedien is, het dit die verblyf nog meer spesiaal gemaak!
Staff member on duty was great
This is my second stay here and the owner refuses to give me invoices for my stay.
Excellent, a hidden gem. Whales playing in the water, while we having breakfast. De Kelders is an exceptional place, absolutely worth it.
We had a beautiful time my wife and I. The space is so relaxing and the view of the ocean is therapeutic all day long. There's also a fireplace and they provide ample firewood to keep the room warm which was a blessing in the cold weather that we visited. The bathroom and shower were amazing (yes my wife and I are picky on shower heads 😀!). I would definitely recommend for a relaxing stay
Breakfast, view
Bed was somewhat worn out
The view of the see is unparalleled, absolutely beautiful.
The bed was a little hard, but not uncomfortable.
Warm reception, cleanliness and comfort. Excellent breakfast.
No airfreshner or extractor fan in the toilet.
Awesome views over the bay. The accomodation is of a high standard with comfortable and practical layout. Service and staff was top tier. One of the highlights of our trip.
Absolutely everything...Our hostess Monica,was amazing.She was very friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great and The view was spectacular.

Hervorragende Lage und super netter Empfang und Service.
Die Aussicht ist grandios. Sehr ruhig und sauber.
Das man das Frühstück bereits abends festlegen muss.
Good location , friendly staff and excellent facilities
Steps from bottom rooms to dining room , especially with heavy bags
We had a wonderful stay at Kleinzee guesthouse. Room was very clean and beautifully maintained. Breakfast was the best,thank you Monica 😀.We are definitely going back.It was home away from home.
Was mooie kamer en heerlijk ontbijt
Wij waren er tijdens storm, hierdoor was er 1,5 dag geen elektriciteit, was het koud en was er ook geen warm water. Een generator als back up is aan te raden
An absolute gem. It was our anniversary and my bday and wanted a quick breakaway. Best decision i made in years with regard to accommodation at a gorgeous venue with views that does not disappoint. Received way more than expected. Service from hostess Desire was exceptional and on point. We booked the upstairs Deluxe Suite with braai and it exceeded our expectations. It offers everything and more. It would take all day to compliment every detail so overall it’s 10/10.
View
Shower floor is very slippery,I sliped and nearly fell Should consider tiles and not paint Can be badly hurt
Our anniversary getaway at Kleinzee was truly unforgettable. The breathtaking ocean views from the balcony were simply magical — peaceful, romantic, and the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. The rooms were spotless, classy, and beautifully comfortable, and breakfast each morning was delicious. A heartfelt thank you to Monica for her warm welcome and for making us feel right at home, along with her excellent recommendations on restaurants and activities. A special thank you as well to Desiree for going the extra mile on our last day to make our stay extra comfortable and memorable. Your kindness and hospitality made our anniversary even more special. We’ll definitely be back
The ultimate tranquil getaway with exceptionally friendly, attentive service that makes you feel truly special. Enjoy a delicious breakfast on your own private deck while taking in the most breathtaking views. The room is impeccably neat, beautifully decorated, and fitted with luxurious, high-quality bedding for absolute comfort.
SO BEAUTIFUL, STAFF IS EXCELLENT SPECIALLY MONICA THANKS AGAIN. I WILL RECOMMEND ANYONE. THANKS KLEINZEE OCEANFRONT OUR HONEYMOON WAS THE BEST.
THERE IS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OFF
No tv channels
Location, right on the cliff overlooking the ocean, staff excellent and breakfast amazing overlooking the bay
Nothing
Beautiful view
The furniture is old. The wifi cut out for a period of time. The breakfast had to be pre-ordered and a time given. No bubble bath, no bars of soap and no good quality shower gel. For a 4 star rating you can do better.
It was so a nice place i really just needed it.. the staff wow amazing like monica, my honeymoon was the best out of the bestt. lovely view just the right place.. see soon
Amazing little gem, super friendly and helpful staaf and the host was just great. Amazing views and great home made breakfast. Will be back.
the view.
having to order breakfast the previous evening.
Beautifully appointed, lovely staff, comfy beds, large bathrooms.
Liked everything.
ein kleines ruhiges Guesthouse an Meerfront mit herzlichen Leuten und tollem Frühstück.
War alles perfekt: tolle Aussicht, überaus nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, super Frühstück auf dem Balkon.
Nichts!
Sehr nett und zuvorkommend, außergewöhnliches Frühstück
A perfect place to stay in this area. The room and patio with privacy is great with a beautifull view at the ocean
Exceptional and amazing view
Alles an Kleinzee ist nicht zu toppen, nette Kommunikation im Vorfeld, aufmerksames Personal, wunderbare Räumlichkeiten mit geschmackvollem Interieur und der Hit war das Früstück, zubereitet von Monica - alles tiptop frisch. Sowohl das Omelette wie auch das selbstgemachte Müsli im Muesli-Fruit-Cup hätte man sich nicht besser wünschen können. Überhaupt ist Monica die Seele des Gästehauses. Suoer umsichtig und nette Gespräche.
We saw the image of the view towards Walker Bay and immediately wanted to check in - which we did. Very friendly communication. Overwhelmingly beautiful view from a very nice balcony. The rooms tiptop clean and tastefully furnished. But the winner was Monicas breakfast on that same private balcony - very luxurious. The best Muesli-Fruit-cup we ever had and Monica is a star.
Die Lage direkt mit Blick auf das Meer ist atemberaubend. Wir konnten das komplette Fenster öffnen und lagen auf dem Bett mit Blick auf das Meer. Eine Sitzmöglichkeit auf der Terrasse hat eingeladen sich dort auszuruhen. Das Bad und das Zimmer waren sehr groß und sehr sauber. Das Personal war super nett und freundlich. Das Frühstück hat unseren Wünschen entsprochen und war lecker. Beim Frühstück konnten wir einen Delfin im Meer beobachten. Parkplätze sind direkt vor dem Haus vorhanden und den Cliff Path vor der Unterkunft kann man schön entlang laufen. Wirklich tolle und ruhige Unterkunft.
Toller Blick direkt aufs Meer. Geht kaum besser. Klein, aber fein. Guter Zugang vom Auto zum Zimmer. Das erleichtert den Gepäcktransport. Super Frühstück. Hier wird man glatt zum Müsli-Fan, wenn man es vorher nicht schon gewesen ist.
Schade, dass die Dusche nicht vom zimmer abgetrennt ist. War aber nicht ganz so schlimm.
Wir wurden total herzlich empfangen. Unser Zimmer war mega schön und die Aussicht vom Bett auf die Bucht einfach unbeschreiblich. Können die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen
Lage, wunderschöner Meerblick
Moskitos im Zimmer
The view is exceptional. The breakfast delicious. Monica and her staff were very helpful and friendly. Food at the Great White House was exceptional
Nothing - only a suggestion that - roller blinds would do the establishment much more justice - for privacy plus being able to see the view outside. The curtain inside the toilet area and next to the shower is not practical.
As view is so important to me, that aspect was absolutely perfect. The long waves, and assorted passers-by. The room is decorated thoughtfully and tastefully which makes the stay very pleasing. Loved the breakfast!
I think NB to specify that booking in time is from 2 preferably and that earlier comes with more effort for the staff. But I suppose I could have guessed that! Nothing I did not like.
View is exceptional.
Having to decide your breakfast for next day and WhatsApp it is a bit annoying . They can do without it and take the order on the day . Nobody is there in a hurry and can wait a while with this magnificent view
Everything
Bed not comfert
Fabulous little guesthouse right in the cliff road, each room with stunning uninterrupted views of Walker Bay. Monica took perfect care of us, with freshly made breakfast and bakes. We loved our room, super comfy bed, huge luxury bathroom with free standing bath tub too. We will definitely return when we are next in the area.
The views were outstanding. Monica and her staff were fantastic hosts. Bed was comfy, bathroom luxurious

Die see uitsig, was pragtig
Die riool het opgestoot, n paae tree van ons ingang, die reuk was ondraaglik. Na n̈ paar uur, is dit wel reggemaak
Hotel mit viel Liebe zum Detail, super freundlichem Personal und einem fantastischen Blick über die Gansbaai. Absolut empfehlenswert!
Sehr tolle gemütliche und Einrichtung alles da was man sich wünscht in einem Wohlfühlambiente mit Balkon mit direktem Blick aufs Meer Frühstück wird auf dem Balkon serviert Das Personal ist super freundlich wir waren sehr glücklich und leider nur für eine Nacht
The staff treated us very well and we felt very special, especially Monica. We will definitely visit them again.
We only did not have a fridge working when we arrived.
Pracht locatie de "Southern Right Wales" pal voor de deur en de B&B voldeed op alle vlakken . Erg fijn verblijf gehad
De verlichting in de kamer kan veel beter , nu een zee aan LED licht dat niet te dimmen valt. Niet erg gezellig
Oceanfront property - amazing views! Bed was comfortable Room spacious Breakfast good
No Air con or fan in the room...it was quite hot at night Room is right next to the 'common' breakfast area....less privacy Overall though no major concerns
Tout était parfait! Les chambres étaient superbes, la vue face à l'océan était exceptionnelle et l'accueil était parfait! Je reviendrai!!
Absolument rien
Лучшее место где мы останавливались. Прекрасный дом, милая и приятная девушка работает. Вид из окна просто сводит с ума! Настоятельно рекомендуем обновить фотографии отеля!
Emplacement face à la mer et au calme, ce que je souhaitais.
Accueil très médiocre. Personnel visiblement fatigué ou avec un raz le bol sur la notion de réception. Une indifférence affichée. Petit déjeuner du coup servi comme à la cantine Bof Mérite aussi un rafraichissement des locaux. Le robinet de la douche coule toute la nuit par exemple mais normal, tout cela date ou reste peu entretenu. Il y a bien mieux pour ce prix et avec une bien meilleur considération, croyez moi!
Lovely breakfast!!
breakfast was fantastic, view spacecious and staff very friendly
everything
Kleinzee Oceanfront Guesthouse is fantastic. It is right on the ocean, with parking conveniently located directly in front of the door. The upper units have patios that open onto the dining area, where meals are served directly on your stoep – a truly unique and charming concept. The views are beautiful, the rooms are clean and well maintained, and the hostess is outstanding. Breakfast was excellent and enjoyed with uninterrupted sea views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this guesthouse.
Love it all. Nothing that i did not love.
