Where Locals & Tourists Meet & Make Friends

Die Wielhuis is a restaurant and pub overlooking Gansbaai Harbour that is dubbed by some as the place to eat with the best ocean view. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Die Wielhuis specialises in hearty meals in a rustic setting popular with locals and tourists alike. Whether you want fresh seafood, your favourite steak grilled to perfection or a cheesy pizza with loads of toppings, Die Wielhuis has it all. Die Wielhuis has a fully stocked bar and is a favourite meeting spot for groups of friends and singles. Whether you drop by for a sundowner, a morning “Regmaker” or to watch the latest game, this is the bar where everyone knows your name! Die Wielhuis is also available for private functions and is perfect for birthdays, team building and club gatherings. Meals are available to take away and Die Wielhuis charges an R30 corkage fee per bottle if you bring your own (only wines not on the menu qualify for BYO). Die Wielhuis is open during load-shedding!

About

Ernst and Irma Kriel took ownership of Die Wielhuis in 2018, rebranding and remodelling an existing pub on the premises.

Irma was born and raised in Gansbaai and Ernst arrived from Gordon’s Bay in the late nineties.

Ernst and Irma are well known for their knack for creating successful pubs where people love to meet. In fact, the couple probably holds the title of being the most famous pub owners in Gansbaai’s history. Whether you know the names Ernies Pub and Buitesteen or not, two legendary pubs started by them years ago, Ernst and Irma have been the godparents of good times for over twenty years! 

Irma runs the kitchen at Die Wielhuis and says that making sure clients have the best time with happy memories, centres around serving hearty pub grub and affordable drinks.

Ask the couple what they love most about Gansbaai and you will hear all about their love for the locals who support them. Getting to meet travellers from around the globe is also a perk. 

The Kriels will also tell you that nothing on earth beats the spectacular sunsets they get to watch from Die Wielhuis!
