What our guests say

The unit has the most amazing sunrises with the sun coming up over the ocean. It was great to sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and take in each morning. The unit was very clean with all the amenities we needed for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back to Mossel Bay for a longer visit in the future.

We had a great stay at Leon’s place. The apartment is very roomy, more like a house than an apartment. Everything is very comfortable and well appointed and the kitchen is fully stocked. Being on the ground floor is great with kids, because they have the big lawn they can access from the apartment.
