Experience Whale Season in Gansbaai at Calamari Self-Catering

Every year from June to December, Gansbaai comes alive as Southern Right Whales visit our coastline to give birth and mate. It’s a special time when the ocean becomes the stage for one of nature’s most amazing sights, and Calamari Self-Catering puts you right in the front row.

Our unit is in De Kelders, just a short walk from the famous cliffs and top whale-watching spots. You can wake up to the sound of the ocean and enjoy your morning coffee while watching whales in the bay. It doesn’t get better than that.

The space is cosy, fully equipped, and ideal for couples, families, or solo guests wanting a peaceful break. Go for a walk along the coast, light a braai at the beach, or simply relax with a glass of wine as the sun sets over Walker Bay.

Book your stay this whale season and come enjoy the best of Gansbaai, close to nature, full of comfort, and easy to enjoy.
