Views Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We were in a small room but had a lovely large patio with seating. Everything was modern, clean and well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was also excellent. It was a top notch stay!"

Gondwana Game Reserve

Gondwana Game Reserve

10/10 Excellent
"Gondwana offers a fantastic experience for anyone looking for a short Safari within the confines of a private game concession. There is a diverse array of animals to view in amongst beautiful scenery despite being close to Mossel Bay. Our accommodation went way beyond our expectations - a huge 3 bedroom lodge all to ourselves. We loved the 15+ minute self drive to get there! The food at Gondwana is nothing like you get on a typical safari - it’s more like a 5* hotel experience with so much choice (take aways available!). In summary we had an excellent experience "
