A great location to spend a few days with our family of 7 in two good sized apartments. A short walking distance to many nearby restaurants Apartments equipped with large living room, nicely decorated bedrooms with quality bedding, and lots of closet space of very good quality. A huge parking garage with sufficient space for our large "people mover" Helpful staff was always around and ready to help or answer questions or just say hello and smile.... A good choice for our Hermanus stay.

    The waterfront is a great location to be based.

    The waterfront is a great location to be based. Visit the penguins and Cape Point are worth it. You have to do Robben Island because of the history but they could do it so much better. Bit underwhelming really. Got to do Table mountain but really would recommend fast track as we waited 3 hours to go up after being told it was one and a half! If you’ve got a car signal hill is worth the drive.

    Going there at the end of September allowed to enjoy great weather and an opportunity to see whales during the start of the whale season. The city was not very busy during the week, but weekend it gets busier than usual. We had the Grotto beach all to ourselves from the morning, midday the sun is very hot during Spring or summer, thus a good time to head for some lunch at nearby resturants to enjoy ocean meals or popular flame grilled meat. The neighbourhood is calm and suitable to walk around in Hermanus centre.

    There is so much to do and keep busy. The Cango Caves - must see. The Cango Ostrich farm, an amazing experience. Then there was the Wild Life Ranch - have to go! Buffelsdrift, amazingly beautiful. The Rust& Vrede waterfalls - please take cash! The Spur with their friendly staff and the newly opened Hennies! Wish we had a few more days. There was also the Suzuki Safaritown Festival and the Boks game was expceptional.

    Mossel Bay is an ideal holiday destination for travelers seeking a mix of the following : 1. Historical exploration 2. Stunning beaches 3. High-energy outdoor activities, watersports, mountain biking, golf, hiking 4. Good restaurants, with some live music entertainment 5. Cabin living on farms away from the city We have been visiting Mossel Bay for the last 30 years and continue to be one of our favorite holiday destinations, making it one of the most underrated stops along the Garden Route.
