Gill, Gideon, Nico and the Cliff Lodge team.
Cliff Lodge is the closest guest house to the sea in De Kelders. It is perched on the edge of the cliff, with breathtaking views over Walker Bay to the mountains of the Cape beyond. Cliff Lodge is a short walk to the beautiful beaches of the Walker Bay Nature Reserve. The guest house is modern and stylish, with a home from home feeling and excellent service. Unbeatable whale watching in season, shark cage diving, beach horse rides, hikes, wine routes and so much more. An unforgettable holiday destination.
Gideon, Gill, Charmonique and the Cliff Lodge team love sharing the magic of De Kelders with our guests. We are passionate about our area and about creating wonderful holiday memories for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you to Cliff Lodge.
De Kelders is 35km from the bustling town of Hermanus, and 5km from Gansbaai, the best place in the world to see Great White Sharks. It is a quiet suburb, surrounded by unspoiled nature. Beautiful beaches, fynbos (wild flowers) and mountains all on our doorstep. This is the ideal area for nature lovers. De Kelders is a well known whale watching spot, and has incredible sea views.
