White Shark Guest House is perfectly maintained. Decks with great views of the sunrise. Perfect place to relax and unwind with breath taking views. Fully equipped kitchen for our guests to use. Restaurant across the street and also meeting place for shark cage diving and whale watching.
I love my life and the people who are in it. I'm energetic, and always happy to meet new people and to expand my network.
A fleet of boats depart every morning from our natural harbour, within 500 meters from White Shark Guest House to take visitors on an exciting Marine Big 5 game viewing cruise. Shark cage diving is all year round and our Southern Right Whales can be seen between July up to November. The African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary is on our doorstep that allows visitors to walk through and view our African Penguins and different marine bird species. Scenic hiking trails along our coastline for the nature lovers. For the sun lovers we have a stretch of white sandy beaches and horse riding and quad biking for the more adventure lovers. Danger Point Lighthouse. Tourist can climb the many steps to the top for a stunning all round view over the ocean and peninsula. Wine and beer tasting tours to neighboring farms both connoisseurs and novice wine-drinkers can enjoy the fruit of the vine. The best way to end an exciting day is to relax with a glass of the Overberg's own wine at White Shark Guest House guesthouse while watching the spectacular sunsets.
