We had a very warm welcome by David, our landlord. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in de Kelders. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the service was excellent. A special highlight was David’s delicious dinner. We are sure to come back one day. Elke, Volker, Hildegard + Uwe More

It was by far the best accommodation during our honeymoon. The villa is very nicely decorated, with a very good taste. Our room was very comfortable, great mattress and an awesome jacuzzi and direct access to the pool. We were able to spot so many whales and it is very convenient to go white shark diving, which by the way... More

We had a fantastic 3 night stay at De Kelders Private Villa in December 2011. Their staff is very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was scrumptious. We enjoyed the views from thei patio and the relaxing and calming atmosphere of the house. We would love to do it again. Eva, Ingrid & Jurgen More

We stayed here after reading the good reviews and it was the highlight of our holiday. We knew upon arrival that we were in for a wonderful experience and it was so good that at the end of our trip returning here was the only option. The house is so amazing, with Neil's style, good taste and attention to detail,... More

One of the most welcoming places we've ever stayed at. A brilliant location coupled with a truly relaxed atmosphere really helps you to enter the holiday mode. The owners are attentive without being intrusive and genuinely want you to use the house as your own. Nothing is too much trouble and everything you could want is available. The building and... More

Imagine our joy when our son phoned from Paris to say he would be spending a two-week holiday with us. “Just pick any location in South Africa and we’ll go there,” he said. We had no hesitation in suggesting De Kelders. “De WHAT?” Our son responded! However, the heady combination of a beautiful coastline with lovely walks along surging seas... More

This house is like something out of an interiors magazine - absolutely stunning and I just wanted to move in! The welcome you get from David the host was so friendly. Lots of nice touches, from a little bunch of flowers on arrival to home made rusks with coffee. The best part of De Kelders was the whales. Less than... More

Do not waste one second by not joining the warm hospitality and friendship of Neil, David and their team. Every detail is planned, designed and at its right place. It is nothing just to stay, to sleep or to eat. It is something what is precious like the whole surrounding. It is not a gallery or a museum it is... More

After the disappointment of our previous villa, Neil and David (and of course James!) "opened" their house to us at very short notice. We had a wonderful stay - everything was purfect. We all highly recommend this wonderful "home from home" (except that the decore, service etc is much more swish than in our home) p.s. We also second EmHarris's... More

My husband and I stayed in De Kelders for 3-nights while celebrating our 1-year anniversary in the Western Cape. The house itself is like living in a design magazine - if you love modern design that highlights natural beauty, you’ll find the rooms and common spaces a joy. The location is fantastic - every morning and evening we walked to... More
