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.

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 .

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.

Great place for everyone

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!

Mountain Inn far from Mossel Bay.

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.

Be aware

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 !

Great Steaks

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.

Paradise in the wilderness of South Africa

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)

Beautiful Location Away From The Rush

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.

A hapy environment

Met very friendly on arrival and showed the way to the log cabin which is situated away from the rest of the hotel overlooking the valley. Room clean, neat with underfloor heating which you need on the chilly nights. Staff overall friendly, country hotel in the country side with country cooking! If you want fine dine or trendy food/décor stay away - you only find real country hospitality here!

We loved this place!

What a gem this place is. In a stunning location at the foot of Robinson Pass. We stayed in one of the Swiss cottages with a superb balcony and amazing mountain views. The food, staff and service were all excellent. Simply not to be missed!

Roundabout no where

Situated 30 minutes north of Mossell Bay at the foot of Robinson pass you are a captive audience. Breakfast (included) was good quality and plenty of it. Lunch and dinner also very good and in UK terms very reasonably priced.We stayed in a round house comprising of a bedroom and bathroom good size and comfortable, but for some traffic noise starting at 5-30 am. although other rooms are situated way from the road. Many inclusive activities available.
