Instagram-worthy Spots In Mossel Bay

Here’s a visual tease of some of Mossel Bay’s most picturesque spots—from its historic lighthouse perched on rugged cliffs to sun-drenched beaches and dramatic coastlines—perfect for crafting that enviable Instagram feed. From dramatic cliffs to cozy interiors, Mossel Bay is a mosaic of photo opportunities that speak to both adventure seekers and detail lovers.

In today's world of endless travel options, it can be tempting to hop onto a third party online travel agency (OTA) to secure your next stay. They promise convenience, comparison, and sometimes even exclusive deals. But here's the catch: those “deals” often come with hidden trade-offs. Booking directly with us can actually offer more value, better service, and greater peace of mind.

A stay at one of our Beach Club apartments is more than just a getaway — it’s your chance to relax, recharge, and experience coastal living at its finest. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a longer seaside holiday, we've put together some tips to help you make the absolute most of your stay.

The Garden Route is one of South Africa’s most iconic travel destinations — and for good reason! Stretching roughly 300km along the southern coast from Mossel Bay to Storms River, this scenic stretch offers pristine beaches, lush forests, charming towns, wildlife, adventure, and world-class food.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or planning a return trip, here are some insider tips to help you make the most of your Garden Route getaway.

If you love booking holiday rentals, you’ll know that reviews aren’t just for hosts — they matter for guests too! A great guest profile with glowing reviews makes it easier to secure bookings, especially at sought-after properties. But how do you ensure your stay leaves a lasting positive impression? Here’s a handy guide to help you be the kind of guest every host hopes for — and to collect those 5-star AirBnB reviews with ease.

Mossel Bay’s culinary scene punches well above its weight. With its mix of scenic seaside restaurants, artisanal coffee newbies, and cultural eats, the town offers a delightfully curated food experience. Whether you're planning a short stay or a longer Garden Route exploration, these coffee shops and eateries offer both taste and ambiance you won’t forget.
