The Roundhouse Guesthouse De Kelders
The Roundhouse Guesthouse is situated in De Kelders, THE prime land based whale watching area in the world. The Roundhouse is a three storey high modern African round building with a thatched roof. The house is very unique and specifically designed to give you a luxurious and comfortable stay with that special African feel to it. We spent over a year renovating and adding very special touches such as Quartz and Shell stone clad stone walls contrasting with rough earthy paints.

All suites have bedrooms, living rooms and bathrooms and have all the little extras such as a microwave, toaster, coffee / tea facilities, bar fridge, television, DVD player, stereo, hairdryer, sewing kit, first aid kit, toiletries and more to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible (not self-catering).
