The Great White House, Kleinbaai, Gansbaai, Western Cape, South Africa

Three star luxurious fisherman's Cottages take you back in time to experience the authentic style of living... Nothing but luxurious peace and tranquillity. Cottages are built to accommodate a maximum of four persons but are normally occupied by couples. A Restaurant in the main complex with a fireplace provided meals for Shark Diving or Whale Watching tourists.

A nice fireplace and cosy thatched roof provide the necessary atmosphere for a win-win situation. To capture the essence of Gansbaai and provide themselves with enough time to engage in all the activities, guests should book at least two nights at the Great White House.

The lodge is only a stone's throw away from the Kleinbaai harbour where all shark, whale and fishing boats depart from. Always buzzing with activity, this little harbour is colourful and exciting. There is also a tidal pool nearby for those brave enough to swim in the icy Atlantic Ocean.

De Kelders just outside Gansbaai town is also a very famous spot for land-based whale-watching because of its unique high cliffs and natural deep bays right next to it. During this period groups of whales often come in to relax and nurse their calves less than 50 metres away from the shore.

Sharks patrol the waters around the island because of the 50 000 strong Cape fur seal colony on the nearby Geyser rock - seals are after all the white shark's main food source. Shark-viewing can be done from a boat (because white sharks feed at the surface). However, the ultimate experience undoubtedly is to come eye to eye with these awesome animals by submerging in a steel cage.

The perfect stop over on a Garden Route or Western Cape Break away week end!
