Once one of the jewels of the Garden Route, Mossel Bay is now slightly marred by industrial sprawl – you have to look quite hard to find its beauty…
The only thing that counted for my was our hotel, called Point Hotel. The hotel is rather an eyesore but in a spectacular location, right above the wave-pounded rocks at the Point and right underneath a lighthouse – what else could I wish for?!
Most of the rooms have a balcony with ocean views. I could have sat there all day, looking into the ocean – which I did not, of course, since there were many other things to do. But going to bed listening to the ocean and waking up listening to the ocean is just priceless!
