Dave and Wendy Upfold
Sunset View is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment situated on the sea in the Walker Bay area of the Overberg, Beautiful sea views. Perfect for land based Whale watching in season.
Dave is a pilot, based in Dubai, and Wendy is a teacher, teaching in Hermanus, Western Cape. Sunset View is our holiday away from home. We love the peace and tranquility it offers after busy working schedules.
De Kelders is a suburb of the fishing village of Gansbaai. It is an up market area used largely by holiday makers. A popular area during the infamous whale season of Hermanus. We like to think it is the whales preferred spot! Gansbaai boasts the best shark cage diving in South Africa and is a popular extreme adventure.
