De Kelders Views: Walk and Stay at Calamari
Nestled along the rugged cliffs of the Overberg coast, De Kelders is one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets - a coastal hamlet where nature, serenity, and raw beauty meet. If you're seeking a place to unwind, reconnect with the sea, and immerse yourself in breathtaking views, look no further. A walk along the cliff path here, followed by a relaxing stay at Calamari Self-Catering, might just be the coastal escape you didn't know you needed.
A Coastal Walk Like No Other
Start your adventure with the famous De Kelders cliff path, a scenic walking trail that hugs the cliffs between De Kelders and Gansbaai. The path offers panoramic views of Walker Bay, towering limestone cliffs, and secret coves where the ocean meets the rocks in a never-ending rhythm.
In spring and early summer, the cliffs come alive with Southern Right whales, often seen breaching just meters from shore. It’s one of the best land-based whale-watching spots in the world and it doesn’t cost a cent.
As you walk, you’ll pass ancient caves (some dating back over 60,000 years), where early humans once lived. The air is thick with sea spray and the call of gulls, and every bend offers a new postcard-perfect view. Whether you're an avid hiker or just want a gentle stroll, this path has something magical for everyone.
