Spent an evening here and the room had everything required, but lacked a few aspects to really WOW us. The room was neat and tidy and had all the basics, but seriously lacked a window and aircon that you could open/put on to remove the stuffiness. We had a downstairs room and with it being on-the-road, we were reluctant to... More

The 2 rooms on the ground level are well ventilated, airy and sunny, with two windows and stacking doors that open the whole room to the ocean. More

After reading other TripAdvisor reviews, we booked 3 nights at Kleinzee Oceanfront Guesthouse - for the upstairs 'honeymoon' suite - which really is worth it. The honeymoon suite is on the upper level, and has a veranda immediately outside the bedroom and lounge, with a great table and chairs - where we perched for hours each day; reading books, watching...

Very comfortable guest house with veranda which gives you an excellent location for viewing whales. They are outside your window, so you don't need to go anywhere. Also very good restaurants withing walking distance frequented by local guests only. We were very well looked after by Leonie and Sheila who come in every morning to cook breakfast and clean and...

Kleinzee is an upmarket guesthouse with excellent view's over the bay. We saw several whales every day. The guesthouse has underfloor heating, lovely bathrooms, a large balcony overlooking the bay area and a fireplace in the lounge/kitchen for chilly Winter evenings. We had a lovely stay.

Kleinzee is a great place to stay in De Kelders if you want whale sightings. The whales are literally right in front of you all of the time. In October we could see on average 4 to 5 whales at all times. Sit on the balcony with a glass of wine and watch the whales breah in front of you... More

The Kleinzee Guesthouse has an an excellent location on the seafront overlooking Walker Bay. We had gone to De Kelders to see whales and were not disapointed and were able to watch them from the terrace at Kleinzee or climb down to the rocks where we watyched 3 whales playing in the sea just a few yards from us.
