Don't even dare drive past De Kelders without spending a day or more at De Kelders Private Villa. The loss will be yours and great for that matter. Not knowing much about this quaint little hamlet, we arrived just before sunset and stepped into an experience I still find hard to explain. Meeting our host Neil Stemmet, a celebrity designer...

It was a pleasure and pure luxury to live in the private villa. The villa is a designer's jewel and walking around the house and looking at the little and bigger precious designs of lamps, chairs, tableware etc. is just like living in a deco magazine. The atmosphere is like staying at a friend's home, there is nothing like being... More

We had to arrange accomodation for a business trip and not knowing the area, i chose Neil's place as the website was most imformative and helpful, and he came back with friendly, helpful replies promptly. Upon arriving at De Kelders Private Villa, i found out why - Neil is an exceptional host with a wealth of knowledge of the area... More

In my recent review of Private Villa, De Kelders, I ended with these portent words: “Private Villa is not a once-only place – very definitely, “We’ll be back!” Little did we know or realise that we would be back - within a matter of weeks! Our Paris-based son had been so impressed, not only with the beautiful coastline of Gansbaai... More

Everything at De Kelders will reaffirm why South Africa/ns are renowned for their hospitality. A warmer, friendlier place will be hard to find. Location - De Kelders is situated close to many eco attractions without being ‘in the eye of the storm’. If you need peace and quiet this is the place for you, but if you need action, this... More

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.

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
