“We popped in at Gansbaai Bakhuis yesterday. What a marvellous discovery! To find a bakery of this calibre anywhere is a joy! We bought several things and left with Kalahari rock salt, raw Overberg honey, delicious baguettes, local hard cheeses and some wonderful craft beers. We noticed some wines there that we'd never seen before. They have an extensive collection from local wineries. This is a jewel.”  Claudia Kisch
