Named after the wild geese in the area, Gansbaai is a quaint fishing village from where there are sweeping views of this rugged stretch of coast. Each year during the summer holiday season people from up-country flock to nearby villages from Franskraal to Pearly Beach as well as the holiday resort at Uilenskraalmond in order to enjoy the fine weather and wide open beaches where various activities take place, including angling, boating and safe bathing in the lagoon.
Description :
Mary and Richard welcome you to share in their paradise... Umnenge Lodge is a newly built African guesthouse, offering luxury accommodation, and child friendly accommodation.
Umnenge Lodge is situated on the rugged cliffs of De Kelders near Gansbaai in South Africa.
"Umnenge" is a Xhosa expression meaning 'whale in the bay' and refers to the Southern Right Whale which can be clearly seen from Umnenge frolicking in the waters of Walker Bay from June to January each year.
We believe that warm hospitality and memorable food are as important as watching the whales.
The lodge is furnished in art pieces from Kenya, Mozambique, Zambia all the way down to Zululand. You will be infused with the essence of Africa....
