The breakfast was the best I've had in 2 weeks in South Africa. They made a three egg omelet to my specifications and had fresh fruit, excellent toast, yogurt, and coffee. My room had a view of the bay and I could partially see the harbor below. The property itself is in an upscale neighborhood, on top of the tallest hill above the harbor. My room had a balcony where I could sit out at night and see the city lights. The room was good size and had a load bathroom and was nice and clean. The owner obviously has a attention to details.

Great stay in Mossel Bay. The Manager/owner was very accommodating and I could tell she cared about the property. Very safe and breakfast was incredible each morning overlooking the town and bay. My room was spacious and very clean with a large balcony where I spent most of my time if I was at the hotel. It is up a significant hill so if you do not have your own transportation and don’t line a pretty good walk with incline you will need a short taxi from down in the turn. I didn’t mind it at all as it was a reward fur the spectacular view and quietness. I recommend Bar T Nique

Stunning views

The guest house was excellent with the views over the harbour stunning.
The service provided by the hostess was excellent and she never hesitated to see to our needs quickly and efficiently.
We stayed in the Penthouse suite and the only complaint is that the decor was perhaps a little outdated. However, this would not change our minds to stay there again if we were in Mossel Bay

Good, not great.

The staff at this property were friendly and accommodating. No issues on that front. Unfortunately the hotel is starting to show its age, so that should be noted. The room was clean(ish), and spacious. I believe it was a family room (just outside the ‘Honest Bar’). And yes you read that correctly. Picture the bar in your uncle’s basement. Straight out of the 1990’s.
When we checked in the front desk staff informed me of the broken WiFi. It was super inconvenient, but at least they were honest and up front.

Fabulous! We were greeted upon arrival by three lovely young ladies who made us feel welcome immediately. They were very helpful with info. On where to eat and within minutes had booked our free shuttle to the restaurant of our choice. We received a free upgrade and stayed in a beautiful room with a lovely view. Breakfast was delicious and never ending coffee from the espresso machine was a bonus. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Marvellous in Mossel Bay

Excellent hosts and a pristine place in which to stay. Detailed attention to every aspect from reception to departure. Superb room. Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. May prove a little tricky to find without satnav or detailed directions, but well worth the effort!

Lovely hotel with great views, lovely bar lounge & terrace area with honestly bar. Helpful staff & a great breakfast. The location is on a very steep hill & steep drive way access to reception, not a problem if you have a vehicle. At night the hotel offers free return transfers to certain restaurants in the area, we choice an Italian some 8 miles away on other side of bay but it was well with the free drive, as the place was great

Beautiful view!!

Wasn't sure what to expect coming into a guest house. My husband and I stayed for our 1 year wedding anniversary (visiting from the US) I would highly recommend especially for romantic getaway. Beautiful view overlooking the water and endless mountain range - comfortable high end rooms - great breakfast and staff. The only negative was that our bedroom window overlooked our neighbors patio table. Other than that it was great and I plan to come back again. p.s. watch out for the super steep driveway.

Great room, breakfast not so good

Great views, beautiful room, spotlessly clean, good location but car needed, however, the breakfast was below average. Bacon tasteless it has been frozen and recooked, or steamed. Bakes beans less than one spoonful, orange juice cheap and the boerewors was dried out, not impressed.

Small hotel on a very steep slope

Access to the hotel was via a very steep slope with no steps for access on foot. Our room was tired looking but ok. No wifi reception in our room - only in communal areas which was a nuisance.
Could hear guests in next room talking on their balcony whilst in room.

Great Place in Mossel Bay

We arrived late and they were happy to wait for us. We left early, and so did not get full appreciation of the place. But, the breakfast was good and the view from the dining room is the best in the area.

Would look elsewhere next time

Pros: nice views, very friendly staff, and the glass of sherry at check in was a lovely touch.
Cons: no soundproofing at all in room, dogs barking next door, fairly poor breakfast and the room was only ok.

We were only using the room as an overnight stop in the middle of a long drive so none of the above affected us too much as we were getting up at 7 am anyway. However if we had been looking forward to a relaxing morning in the hotel I would've been a lot less satisfied!

2 x Stop Overs to and from Cape Town to Port Eliza

We stopped here overnight going from Cape Town to PEliz and then again on the return journey. We booked before we left - the balance was taken before we left UK, which worried us a bit when we saw a transaction movement, but this was explained when we got there.

Wonderful views over the Bay and town; watched the boats coming into the harbour on our balcony. Wonderful rooms, excellent breakfast, mini bar, very clean, modern, comfortable, helpful and friendly. Evening meals would be an advantage as it is quite a hike to the sea front (especially coming back up some very steep hills), but it was classed as a Guest House, not hotel. Even snacks or sandwiches would be nice on an evening.

We didn't have time to explore properly so cannot comment on the actual town and only visited one restaurant, overlooking the sea which was lovely, around The Point. On our return visit we 'went round the houses', following the grid to access the hotel from a level road, which was far better than attempting the hill and corner as on our first visit. The drive is also very steep.

Overall an excellent experience and I would definately stop here again.

Nice Huest House

Lovely Guest House which had everything you could need. We stayed at 3 different G Houses during our s Africa Holiday. This was the best equipped but not the best Breakfast but still OK . A little bit impersonal unlike other G Houses whereby the owners gave a lot more of themselves with advise on local area ..... However still a great GHouse and would come back.

Well worth a visit!

A gem on the hill with a beautiful view!! The hostess and facility was very accommodating! The room was on the smaller side, but had all the special details attended to. Beautiful balcony with breathtaking views of the entire bay, especially at sunset and sunrise. Fantastic breakfast!! Nice bar and lounge area, again with amazing views. Great value for the money. Location not convenient to walk to shops and restaurants, but they did have an arrangement with an nice steak house for shuttle service back and forth to the restaurant. I would definitely stay here again.

Super Ocean View From Restaurant

The Ocean views were excellent and Rene and her staff did their best to make us feel at Home. Breakfast was excellent with multiple options. Parking is a challenge though since the lot is behind the Hotel and the roadway to the top lot has a steep incline ( the reason for the great ocean views). Unless you are very good at driving manual transmissions would suggest you use a car with an automatic transmission.Will definitely stay there again in 2015, for more days.

Suited our needs to a \"T\"!

I booked Bar T nique, because the other reviewers had commented on the cleanliness and because it was half the price of our other option. It truly was impeccably clean and neat, great value for money, the owner was very friendly and helpful, without being overbearing. We were in town to attend a function and the location was close to where we wanted to be. The room had everything we needed, including a balcony with stunning views of the bay!

Bar-t-nique Hotel

We had a stop over at this hotel and found it excellent. Our room had good views over the harbour. The only drawback isthat it is on a steep hill and although walking down in daylight would have been ok the walk back in the evening would mean taking the car which we did with no problem or having a taxi back.

Bar-T-Nique Mossel Bay

Wasn't expecting much, probably put off by the name which makes you think it's a bar with rooms on top. Turned out to be fantastic new building in a quiet area, lovely room with balcony giving wonderful views over the whole bay. Friendly and obliging owner and staff.

A car ride into town, ( you wouldn't want to walk back up the hill) is the only drawback.
