My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The family room, although smaller than expected, was very clean, comfortable, and offered a lovely view from the balcony. The service was exceptional, especially the friendly and helpful shuttle driver who even arranged a takeaway breakfast for us when we were in a rush. The location, overlooking Mossell Bay and close to tourist attractions, was simply luxurious. However, the dining experience was a bit ordinary, with the lowest quality breakfast of my entire journey so far.

The guesthouse is located in a very quiet area of Mosselbay, just up on the hill behind the city center. While it offers a peaceful setting, it is a bit further than expected from the city center based on the pictures provided.

Dining

The breakfast consisted of a fruit salad and a cooked breakfast, which was okay. I enjoyed dining on the balcony with a great overlook of the city.
