This charming self-catering house was the perfect year-end holiday getaway. It was spotless and beautifully maintained, with every convenience thoughtfully provided. The care and attention from the owner were truly remarkable. We were able to relax completely in a safe environment for both our children and our dog.

Ganders and Geese is centrally located and just a short drive from the many attractions in the area. Thank you, Isobel, for making our holiday so memorable. I would highly recommend Ganders and Geese!

We have stayed in Ganders and Geese many times and always return for the excellent service from Isobel, from booking through to leaving. My dogs LOVE the big yard and we love the relaxed atmosphere, comfy beds, air cons, TV, wifi, braais (even an inside one for rainy days!). The kitchen is better equipped than our own home, a huge stove, ice maker and EVERYTHING one can need for a weekend or longer stay. It is super secure with alarms and electric fence and fully fenced for the safety of dogs and kids. We love taking the dogs for walks on the Cliff paths and the quiet streets of De Kelders. They even provide raised dog beds, bowls for the dogs, beach umbrellas, picnic stuff - you name it, Isobel has thought of it!! We will return again and again!

Ganders and Geese-gastehuis in Gansbaai (De Kelders) is 5-ster puik en dis diere-vriendelik! Daar is 'n yslike groot grasperk vir die hondjies. Die eenheid is baie verlig omhein en daar is veiligheidmaatreels in plek. Die gastehuis self is ultra-modern met al die geriewe vir 'n "huis-weg-van-die-huis" situasie plus daar is gratis internet en Netflix beskikbaar. Die gastehuis is ook goed geleë in 'n stil buurt en naby genoeg aan al die Gansbaaiwinkels asook besieningswaardighede. Ons was geweldig in ons skik met die verblyf. Vol punte!

Translation: Ganders and Geese guesthouse in Gansbaai (De Kelders) is 5-star excellent and it's pet-friendly! There is a huge lawn for the puppies. The unit is very well-lit and fenced and there are safety measures in place. The guesthouse itself is ultra-modern with all the amenities for a "home-away-from-home" situation plus there is free internet and Netflix available. The guesthouse is also well located in a quiet neighborhood and close enough to all the Gansbaai shops as well as attractions. We were very pleased with our stay. Full marks!

What a lovely, homely, pet friendly place away from the city buzz. We were spoilt with a tray of snacks for the weekend, thank you Isobel! Our Furry kids enjoyed the freedom of the fenced off yard and had ample space to run around. Astro enjoyed the extra large kennel provided and we promised him to go back soon ! We will definitely be back.

We have been back to Ganders and Geese several times and will keep on doing so! It is kitted with EVERYTHING - from air cons to Nespresso coffee machine, ice maker for those cold cocktails, picnic gear, umbrellas, fold up chairs for the beach, dishwasher, washing machine, and the list goes on. And of course, our dogs are safe in the fenced yard. The friendly host, Isobel, always leaves a welcome pack with some wine, snacks and even dog treats! We are treated like royalty at ‘our’ little getaway from the city!!

Caren, it was lovely to meet you and your family. Hope to see you again soon! You were dream guests.

Wat n heerlike kuier by Ganders and Geese. Dit het ons verwagtinge by verre oorskry. Alles is perfek ingerig, voel soos jou eie huis. Stylvolle dekor en baie netjies. Ons hondjie het dit netso geniet om op die veilige erf rond te hardloop. Dankie vir die bederfies. Ons sien beslis weer.

Baie dankie vir jou mooi woordee, Cecilia. Julle kan enige tyd weer kom kuier met julle pragtige woef!

We loved everything about the venue, and so did our puppy, Jax. A very good hostess that pays attention to the little things that make a holiday let feel like home. We will definitely go back.

Hi Zalia. Thanks so much for your kind words. You and Jax are welcome to visit us again anytime!

The house is cosy and perfect for a family with kids and has a big yard for pets. No detail was overlooked, we had a fabulous stay at Ganders and Geese and will be back!

Thanks for staying at our house! Happy you enjoyed the weekend! Do visit us again soon!

My two, four legged girls Ava and Mia and I spent two glorious nights at Ganders and Geese. Isobel's communication was warm and clear from the start and we knew exactly where to go and what to expect. Based on the other reviews my expectations were high but my goodness, I was amazed! Ganders and Geese is as quaint as it is modern, spotlessly clean and not only does it have everything you could possibly need, it has the most exceptional quality of everything. Our stay was comfortable, the nights cosy and the days spent enjoying the house, garden and taking walks to the Whale Cove where I am happy to report there was a load of whale fun and frolicking going on. Ganders and Geese is just a stones throw away from Stanford and Gansbaai and it is a great base to explore the area and visit all the lovely shops and eateries this breathtaking area has to offer. We returned home refreshed and rejuvenated. Thank you Isobel for making our stay a magical and memorable one!

It makes our hearts warm when guests leave happy! Thanks so much for visiting us and do come again!

Absolutely immaculate and full of all the creature comforts you could hope for. Isobel really pulls out all the stops to make her guests feel at home. Definitely our new stay of choice in the overstrand.

Owner response : (2022-09-08)
Thanks so much for the kind words, Vicky! So happy you enjoyed your stay along with your furry baby! Looking forward to welcoming you again next time!

Such a lovely experience that me and my family had including my fur babies in this fully equipped home. The kitchen was absolutely perfect. Every room was neat and functional. This is definitely a gem and a perfect holiday home. You'll be pleasantly surprised by what the house has to offer. Your fur babies will be safe if left to play out in the garden while you're out and about.

Terence and Sabatina - so wonderful to have you visit at Ganders & Geese! Glad you enjoyed your stay. Come visit again soon!

We had the pleasure to stay at Ganders for almost two months, this place can be summed up in one word.......Brilliant!!!! Hoping we can do this again in the future. Thanks to our hosts for ensuring everything was perfect. Regards Hendri and Sonya

Owner response : (2022-07-06)

We visited Ganders and Geese in Feb and we had an great time! There was not a single thing we needed, they REALLY thought of everything (even an ice maker!) The place is clean, everything is still brand new.
The dogs had a jol, big yard with lots of space for them to run.
Really SUPER impressed.
We will definitely be back soon!

Thanks so much for your kind words! Loved having your family and the furry babies at our house! Come visit again soon.

Ons was 4 volwassenes en 1 kind met ons 2 hindtjies wat by die wonderlike plekkie gebly het. Alles is puik en silwerskoon, daar kort absoluut niks nie. Die aircons was 'n groot bonus in die naweek se hitte. Ons sal beslis weer en weer die plek besoek.

Owner response : (2022-01-24)
Baie dankie dat julle vir ons kom kuier het! Kom kuier enige tyd weer!

Myself, my wife, two kids and my mother rented the house for a few days over new years, we were welcomed with a smile. The house was very modern and very well laid out. We loved our stay and will definitely make use of them again

Owner response : (2022-01-05)
It was wonderful having you as guests at Ganders & Geese! Please do come and visit us again. Have a great 2022.

Ons het so lekker gekuier by Ganders & Geese!
Isobel het werklik gesorg dat ons verblyf onvergeetlik was en alles is perfek en uitmuntend netjies.
Huisie is perfek vir my gesin van 4 en toegerus met alles en nog wat.
So gerieflik soos jou eie huis, maar die gevoel van vakansie, rus en 'n heerlike wegbreek!
Is mal oor De Kelders en omliggende area.
Kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie!!


Owner response : (2022-01-05)
Baie dankie vir julle ondersteuning, kom kuier gerus weer!

My wife and our two dogs rented the house for the weekend. Isobel made us feel so welcome. We had a great time and can thoroughly recommend Ganders & Geese.

Owner response : (2021-12-02)
It was wonderful to meet you all and host you at our house! Do come and stay again!

Wonderlike voorreg gehad om by Gaanders tuis te gaan. Die huis is pragtig netjies en het alles wat jy nodig mag hê. Sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier, kan die plekkie sonder huiwer aanbeveel as ‘n heerlike vakansie huis met lekker spasie en sekuriteit.

Owner response : (2021-10-25)
Baie dankie vir die mooi woorde, dit was heerlik om julle in ons huis te he! Kom kuier enige tyd weer saam met julle pragtige dogtertjies!

This 2 bedroom house is perfect getaway for two couples or small family. Isobel is a wonderful host and her attention to detail is amazing. Everything you can possible need over a weekend or holiday is there and it is impeccably clean. It is wonderful to find a self catering place by the sea with proper new beds and the white linen is treat of luxury. The yard is fully fenced and secured with electric fencing, which added to a peaceful night's sleep. We went in winter, so no swimming, but if you enter through the nature reserve you can walk forever on the beach. Such a beautiful place to relax, we will definitely be back.

Owner response : (2021-10-20)
It was an absolute pleasure to have you as our guests! So happy that you enjoyed the experience. Do come again!

This house is neat as a pin and equipped with EVERYTHING. We stayed there beginning October for a weekend with our two dogs and we thoroughly enjoyed everything that the house and the area has to offer. Our reception was friendly and warm and the owners ensured we had everything we needed, from beginning to end - even left treats for our dogs! We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

Thanks so wonderful for your kind words! We loved having you and the furbabies at our house! Ganders & Geese will be ready to welcome you again in the future.
