Great, historic hotel in a beautiful setting.We had an overnight stay in Palm Court which worked well for our family. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We had drinks in the atmospheric bar and had both dinner and breakfast in the restaurant - good food, good choice and excellent service.

It was a last minute booking before a meeting at Mosselbay. It was definitely worth the few extra kilometers: the place is wonderful, the staff is really nice (they actually waited for us as we arrived around 9.30 pm, to serve us an excellent dinner)... I just look forward to coming back here with my family next time!

Beyond words, this piece of paradise is a small garden od Eden nestled in the wilderness of south Africa's most beautiful landscapes . We stayed at the swiss family log cabin , and had every amenity possible. The staff was sooo helpful and accommodating in every way, from suggesting outings , room service, free wifi, etc. the cleanliness was impeccable , and the breakfast was first clas, 5 star, with buffet as well as home cooked to order egg. The sound of roosters in the morning and birds chirping would wak us with a smile , and the country like activities for kids, like a donkey cart ride every day, all made us feel like we could truly experience the beauty of nature and the outdoor wonders . Our cabin faced a mountain view that took our breath away as we sat on the large balcony and had our wine and dinner one evening. This place gets a 10 star rating from us ( party of 4 +7 month old infant)

The breakfasts were good if not exciting. The other meals were unimaginative. The menu is dated and needs some serious upgrading. However we did appreciate the service, the spotless white table cloths and real silverware .

A delightful place to stay with great facilities. The pool is excellent and the extensive grounds are lovely and well maintained. The Inn is historic but is in the middle of nowhere so transport is required. The restaurant is outstanding and I had the best fillet steaks of any during my stay in South Africa.

Lena • Family Trip

Otroligt vackert läge, mycket vänlig personal, möjlighet till många aktiviteter som ingick som tennis, ridtur, squash och utomhus bowling. Bra mat. Tyvärr var buller från trafiken mycket störande under natten, den branta backen utanför hotellet skapade mycket ljud när bilar och lastbilar växlade ned för att komma upp i backen.

Eight Bells is located in a beautiful setting. There are lots of activities organised by the hotel such as horse riding and trail walking. The room was a good size and well appointed. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only disappointment was the lack of WiFi service. In this day and age it is inappropriate to limit Internet access in this way (100MB per day between 4 people) and then to charge for additional access.

Room 16 has a lot of noise from the road.

It’s fine for the price. Needs a revamp, not correct to say its in Mossel Bay as it’s a good 30km outside it.

We stayed one night, and would not return, the area is rather remote and we were on our way to Knysna and opted to break the journey, we wouldn't do it the next time. The bathroom was so cold, it was uncomfortable, and whilst the bedroom had a heat A/C it was still cold, and water was coming in thru the front door, which we had to ask for towels to soak up the rain water.

All was good except the most important part, it was completely impossible to sleep since our poolview rooms where just beside a big road with traffic throughout the night, big lorries making a lot of noise !
