The Roundhouse Guesthouse, Gansbaai

18 June 2010
A lot of The Roundhouse clients have wondered about the names of our rooms. Let’s take the room Cetecea. This name refers to the Whales and Dolphins – Common Name: Cetaceans; Cetaces.
There is only a few of us that know that these beautiful species are still in danger or vulnerable, regardless of decades of protection. These animals are succumbing to new and ever-increasing dangers. Collisions with ships entanglement in fishing gear are threatening the North Atlantic right whale with extinction. The Western North Pacific gray whale is critically endangered and at serious risk because of intensive oil and gas developments in its feeding grounds.
The reason for this info is because our Whale season has started in Gansbaai and a lot of tourists come here to do some shark cage diving with the Great White Shark and to see the Southern Right Whale.
Let us take note and think of the future of these animals.
