Mossel Bay is situated along the scenic Garden Route, halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and only 45km from George airport.

The Portuguese explorer, Bartholomew Diaz, landed in Mossel Bay in 1488, whilst looking for a spice route to the East.   Steeped in history, this town has many heritage sites and historical buildings, including the Diaz Museum complex which hosts a replica of the caravel on which Diaz arrived. 

The area enjoys a temperate, almost Mediterranean climate, with about 300 days of sunshine per year.  Santos beach, a popular and safe beach in Mossel Bay, achieved blue flag status in 2009

Mossel Bay and the Garden Route is the perfect holiday destination with hotels, lodges, B&B’s, self-catering accommodation and camping sites to suite everyone’s budget.

There’s plenty to do and activities along the Garden Route include steam train rides, museum visits, elephant rides, seal island trips, bungi jumping, hiking, surfing, scuba diving, fishing, quad biking, golfing, game viewing, whale watching and shopping. 

The Cango Caves, Cango Wildlife Ranch and ostrich farms, situated just outside Oudtshoorn, are amongst the many activities that have made this area a popular tourist destination.
