I planned my alone time getaway a couple of month's ago, and as you do, everything is online. Not being sure about places I booked two nights at White Shark Lodge and two nights elsewhere in Gansbaai proper. What a very pleasant surprise when I booked in at White Shark Lodge!!! On the rocks, the most amazing view, the most amazing place, soooooo calming. I drove past the second place I had booked at and just from the outside - BIG walls all around etc, I immediately asked Landi if I can stay two more nights at White Shark Lodge. I didn't even mind losing the money from the other place. I would suggest that a bigger group of friends book out the place as it has an indoor braai, pool table - family vibes. AMAZING.   

UNFORGETTABLE

Good basic accommodation, excellent value and stunning views. Within walking distance of the harbour, a little shop and a good restaurant. Friendly and helpful owners. Bring your own firewood if you come in winter. 

White shark backpackers

strategical position for the shark experience, wonderful accomodation with the Ocean view, quiet and safe area, If possibile I would have stayed more days to visit the surroundings too.Owner very helpful and friendly. I could not ask for anything better

wonderful accomodation facing the Ocean

Accommodation is in Kleinbaai and ther is a lot of companies for cage diving or whale watching. In this beautiful town everything is very close, that's why  it's better to booke everything here, not in Gansbaai. If you need transportation or if you want to go on a trip, the owner of White Shark Backpackers  will arrange everything for you. Place is very spacious and nicely decorated.

Great white shark adventure

There is a Lovely view of the ocean and the harbor. Friendly service and the rooms are clean.  We would stay at White Shark Lodge again when we come to Gansbaai. It is at a good location. The braai area is spacious. 

Lovely view

Good located close to the boats to do the shark diving. The place is clean and the owner can do the reservation for the shark diving for R1300. It was a great experience. There's nothing around, but is great to spend one night. 

Perfect to do the shark cage diving

We arrived late and owner was very accomodating.   We only need a clean bed and room and shower since we got up at 6 to swim with the sharks.   Its a absolutly perfect location. We enjoyed our stay there and will recommend it to anyone that need a bed for one night  

Swim with Shark

I booked White shark backpackers when I arrived there the owner told me that she didn't received my booking and end up sending me to her husband guest house called Gansbaai backpackers 😔. I was very disappointed about the room. The linen sticks(cigarette) , no lock for the door. No cleaner( helper). I booked twin bedroom but we were given another with four beds and we lose R40 according to the room category.It was really uncomfortable to sleep on the dirty linen for whole two nights.😞  Appliance are there except iron... when I  asked the owner told me that I  suppose to bring mine 😔. I was every disappointed.

Bad experience ever.

The owner was nice enough, and it's conveniently located near the cage diving places, but having stayed there in July, we found the room to be absolutely freezing. I realize it's South Africa, and places often aren't equipped with proper insulation, but this was by far the coldest experience we had in two weeks of travel there. This, and the fact that the wifi didn't really work, left kind of a bad taste in terms of value for money.
