The breathtaking views of the ocean and the clean and safe environment of Gansbaai make it a desirable place to live whether you are part of a family, a couple or looking to invest.
A brief history of the area
Gansbaai was founded, according to local storytellers, in 1881 after 18-year-old fisherman Johannes Cornelis Wessels walked there across the dunes from Stanford and discovered excellent fishing in the area. He settled there, and soon after other families followed suit.
The settlers called it "Gansbaai" meaning "Goose Bay" after the colony of Egyptian geese that gathered at the freshwater fountain in the present-day Gansbaai Harbor. Up until the 20th century, however, it was little more than a simple fishing village due to its isolation and lack of communication with the outside world.
