We stayed one night on our travels along the Graden Route. Host Michal was super helpful with organizing check in and the making recommendations for sights and dining options in the area. He was gracious, friendly and so welcoming (and his amazing photographs adorn the walls!) The suite we had was on the lower floor (nicely decorated, not super roomy but well-appointed with a very good bed and linens) so we did not have a patio/balcony but there was a nice area upstairs in the main room with a beautiful deck offering great views of the sea! This is where breakfast was served...which was included and homemade and delicious! We did walk to dinner (a bit hilly but not terrible) which is always a desirable option for us. Overall, a really great place to overnight in Mossel Bay. We wished we could've stayed longer.

"We stayed for two nights in a room with a view over the harbour. The room felt a bit dated and the walls quite thin (so much so we got a call from reception asking us to turn our tv volume down as next door found it too loud - this was before 10pm). Reasonable breakfast options. We ate dinner at ..."
