Surrounding area --- About the area
VillaVue offers beautiful unrestricted sea views. There is a tidal
pool, swings on the green for the kids, rockpools, lovely walking
areas along the beach front & hiking trails on the coastline, even
all the way to the Danger Point lighthouse, which can be entered at
a small fee. You can go fishing off the harbour wall, kayaking when
conditions permit or even play a little bit of golf on the village
course. The African penguin sanctuary is close by, and when it's
whale watching season the area offers great spotting opportunities.
When you travel through the Overberg between
Caledon & Akkedisberg Pass, you'll spot our national bird, the Blue
Crane, in the fields next to the road.
The Great White Shark cage diving expeditions
leave from the harbour that is almost on our door step, with the
nearby Walker Bay / De Kelders being the whale watching spot of the
area, better than Hermanus.
There are also quad biking, horse riding, ocean
caves exploration & a big cat sanctuary visit to be considered.
Kleinbaai provides a tranquil environment close
to the southern most tip of Africa, where you can reminisce whilst
watching the ocean and activities in-and-out of the harbour, sipping
on the great wines from the region, chomping on the area's
international award winning cheese and explore the outdoors in
adventurous, or less so, ways.
Bookings for activities could be made on-line or at The Great
White House around the corner.
The residents are approachable & friendly
folks. The area is well patrolled by helpful security personnel.
You will also find the spectacular cliffs of De
Kelders to the miles of white sandy beaches of Pearly Beach. You
will find one of the most unique and astonishing coastlines teeming
with marine life. The surrounding area of Baardskeerdersbos and the
Uilkraal valley is full of unique endemic fynbos and forests
providing shelter and food for our shy and diverse terrestrial wild
animals.
Having your own transport is advisable
--- you would
want to explore the area anyway, after all, you're on the Garden
Route. Visit the quaint villages such as Stanford and Gansbaai, or
even explore Hermanus with its Old Harbour and bustling tourist
attractions, venture into the Hemel & Aarde Wine Valley further
afield or the more adjacent wines and cheeses at Akkedisberg Pass,
or the fine dining at Grootbos just outside Gansbaai. Our neighbour
village of Franskraal offers a long white sandy beach, with the
southern most tip of Africa quite reachable at Cape L'Agulhas.
Kleinbaai is home to Great White Shark cage
diving in South Africa. Lured by 50 000 Cape Fur Seals living on
Geyser Rock, the Great White Sharks frequently hunt in Shark Alley,
the narrow channel between Geyser and Dyer Island, a protected
African... (0.6 km from Kleinbaai)
