“Family is Nature”
Wide open spaces, peace and nature. Leave everyday life behind and immerce yourself in unspoilt nature surrounded by views of coastal dunes, mountains and the sea.
Nestled between Stanford and De Kelders in the heart of the Overberg, Walker Bay Dunes Lodge offers an eco-friendly escape with luxurious accommodation for up to 10 guests. Overlooking pristine Cape fynbos, rolling coastal dunes, and the sweeping views of Walker Bay, it’s the perfect base for unforgettable whale watching and shark diving adventures—or simply unwinding in a truly serene setting.
Start your mornings with a delicious, thoughtfully prepared breakfast while planning your day with Kate’s local insight and guidance. Relax in a wood-fired hot tub with the gentle crackle of the fire setting the mood. Breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth surround you, and unwind.
Whether you spend your time exploring the Overberg, heading out to sea for wildlife encounters, or relaxing at the lodge, each day ends in pure tranquility. As the sun begins to set, soak in the breathtaking views from your private patio, or take a short drive through the fynbos and dunes to the beach for sundowners as the sky sets over Walker Bay. In the evening, enjoy a memorable dinner at the lodge or let us recommend one of the excellent nearby restaurants in Stanford or Gansbaai.
