the place is large, clean, the kitchen is huge! a nice place to stay for groups or families. there is a closed box to park the car. the view for breakfast on the terrace is very nice.

Amazing view, kitchen facilities, perfect secure parking - loved the view from the deck. Walked into the village for dinner at a great restaurant, really enjoyed the morning walk around the harbour!

Beautifully decorated. A good view of the ocean from the dining area. Spotlessly clean. An added bonus was the lock up garage.

Modern bright clean comfortable well equipped, couldn’t ask for more.

Check-in was easy with the lock box outside. Secure parking was nice, even though the neighbourhood felt safe. Nice view from the shared deck area. Apartment was big and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen with anything you may need. Good Wifi and internet connection.

Spacious and clean rooms, nice kitchen, terrace with a great view.

The accommodation is absolutely lovely! Very beautiful decorated and cozy. The view from the balcony over the city is awesome. We felt absolutely safe and were able to reach all spots within the city very quickly.

Stylish, comfortable, well equipped, good location with great views across the bay.

Nice little place to stay. The breakfast on the terrace was delicious and with a nice view!

I liked the cottage very much. It was spacey and clean and well equipped. A nice spot.

I live in Cape Town (at the moment) and am married to Damian, who works offshore in Saudi Arabia. We have 2 children. I am a private person, but I love people and traveling. I am passionate about Mossel Bay and love spending as much time as possible here. Mossel Bay is not too far from Cape Town and a safe place to bring our children with a lot of outside activities for them. This is my favourite place in the world!
The Cove is close to the Point, fabulous blue flag beaches, tidal pools, local art and antique shops. An incredible experience is diving with Great White Sharks. Mossel Bay is a wonderful place to use as a base if you want to explore to the surrounding area. In George, Redberry farm has a great restaurant and you can pick your own strawberries. Famous Fancourt Golf Estate and many superb golf courses including Pinnacle Point, Oubaai close by. Botlierskop is a must do. Horse ride and feed and walk with the elephants. Day trip safari are available. Wine tasting at Jakkalsvlei is only 30 minutes away from us - they do great cheese and meat platters as well. One hours drive from us is Oudtshoorn where you can visit the world famous Cango Caves. Ride an ostrich at the Ostrich farm. Visit Karusa for wine and beer tasting. Surval is a great stop for olive tasting. Pop in at Bella Mia Pottery Studio, located between Surval and Karusa. Go for a balloon ride in Oudtshoorn! On route to the Cango Caves is Wilgewandel where you can ride on a real donkey car or a camel and feed the animals. Ideal for children. I big must is Cango Wildlife where you can dive with crocodiles!!
