Walker Bay Dunes Lodge offers a luxury bed and breakfast retreat in pure unspoilt nature, overlooking sweeping ocean views between Gansbaai and Stanford in the Overberg. This eco-friendly lodge is a hidden gem in the Western Cape, offering an intimate experience surrounded by coastal fynbos and dunes. Whether you’re looking to relax and reconnect with nature or explore the wonders of the area, the lodge provides the perfect escape.
The lodge features just five elegantly furnished rooms, each offering panoramic views of the Walker Bay Nature Reserve and the distant ocean horizon. Designed for comfort and tranquillity, the rooms feature eco-friendly amenities, en-suite bathrooms and outdoor seating areas that invite guests to unwind while soaking in the breathtaking scenery. With space for up to 10 guests, it provides an intimate, personalised escape.
Located among untouched coastal fynbos and rolling dunes, Walker Bay Dunes Lodge is surrounded by the vast, rugged beauty of the Whale Coast. This secluded setting between Stanford and Gansbaai is ideal for guests seeking peace and immersion in nature. The lodge's elevated position offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, while the sounds of waves crashing in the distance and the rich biodiversity of the area add to the natural serenity.
Guests can explore the pristine beaches through guided 4x4 tours, try fat biking across the dunes, embark on marine excursions, or enjoy birdwatching and hiking trails that wind through the fynbos. For those preferring a slower pace, local wine farms provide excellent tasting experiences, and visits to nearby cultural attractions such as art galleries and historical sites are available.
The location was beautiful and serene and the lodge was clean and comfortable, with beautiful views of the surrounding fynbos. The service was amazing. I would highly recommend.
