This is absolutely the best resource for planning
a trip to South Africa. In my experience, you can
be positive that B&B accommodations will be
well maintained and spotlessly clean. The price
will be higher for newer and better located
places, but all price levels are probably going to
be better than you might expect.

You should consider going a couple of hours
east of Cape Town to see the southern right
whales that are there from June till December.
It is the most spectacular whale viewing in
the world! My close friends, the Kotzes,
operate a B&B right on the water in De Kelders,
just next to Gansbaai.

Prices are mid-range. Wonderful to have breakfast
on their deck with whales only a few hundred meters
away from you.
If your budget will allow, go out with another
close friend, Captain Rudy Hughes, who has the
only permit for boat-based whale watching there.

Rudy will have his newer, larger boat by the time
you get there.. cost is 600 rand p.p., slightly
less for children. It is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience.
Enjoy!
