* De Kelders is a peaceful village known to be the best whale-watching site and shark-cage diving in South Africa. Whale Sanctuary Lodge is located right on the cliffs and there are many little pathways across the cliffs for those who like taking long walks
* Fabulous restaurant next door and a local coffee shop nearby. Hermanus is 30 minutes away.
* “De Kelders” is the Afrikaans name for The Caves. Numerous larger and smaller caves penetrate deep into the rock formations under the houses of De Kelders. Famous is the Freshwater cave. This is a very deep cave leading to what seems to be an underground swimming pool. Due to conservation measures, this cave is not open to the public at present. What the locals call “Duiwelsgat” (The hole of the Devil) is not really a cave, but therefore perhaps even more impressive. This hole which got its official name from the many pigeons that nested there (“Duiwegat”) is connecting the surface of the rock formations with the ocean. Looking down into the hole (not advised for people with vertigo) you will see the waves of the ocean rolling in and out at the bottom.
