Property Description
The luxurious 38-roomed Protea Hotel Mossel Bay is a graceful landmark, built in 1846, overlooking Santos Bay and the harbor. 20 min drive to the airport and halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Nestling on the Mossel Bay shoreline with the majestic Outeniqua mountains as a backdrop, the Protea Hotel Mossel Bay is singled out from other establishments.The stone walls and Mediterranean-style out-buildings belie the fact that the main building is one of the oldest in Mossel Bay and forms part of the Dias Museum Complex. Previously The Old Post Office Tree Manor Hotel, the Protea Hotel Mossel Bay, situated off Santos beach, could best be described as a hotel complex. It comprises of a breakfast patio with sea view and Cafe Gannet Seafood Restaurant - "Mossel Bay's Seafood House", overlooking the Bay and Outeniqua Mountains . The Blue Oyster cocktail bar, adjacent to the pool, overlooks Santos Bay.

The hotel is in a good location, close to the harbor and shopping center and a 6-minute drive to the beautiful "The Point." Our modern room is very large, 60 cm. on 2 floors, with a view of the harbor. The breakfast is excellent and is served in a beautiful restaurant with a sea view. The staff is always very friendly. Parking is free.

The location is very good
The waiters are very attentive
But maybe the room next to the old wing where I stayed was very noisy when taking a shower and the exhaust fan in the room was very loud. These improvements will be made in the future.

The service is average, the location is good, and the parking space is outside on the roadside. There were allegedly hotel security guards watching. There are still four-star standards.

The location of the hotel is very good, next to the sea, there is a beach
Free security at the entrance of the parking lot.
There are supermarkets around. Pay attention to the business hours. When we arrived, it was Sunday and most shops were closed.
The room is clean, but the washbasin is separated from the hot and cold water. I'm not used to it~ If you don't care about the money, it's better to book a balcony with a sea view
The breakfast selection is also very rich. We had curry chicken that day
Next to the hotel is a museum of the first Portuguese to land here
There's a lighthouse a few kilometers away

We felt quite comfortable in this historic hotel! Our "Larger Suite" turned out to be a bright and elegantly fitted duplex room in the new hotel wing comprising a living room with a kitchenette on the upper level and a bedroom with a king bed plus a spacious bathroom on the lower floor. Both levels have a balcony. Forget about the lower one but enjoy a nice view of harbour and bay from the upper level! Breakfast on the first morning had been standard but our two dinners at the hotel's Café Gannet had been superb. Their focus is on seafood and sushi and as the place is buzzing reservations are highly recommended. We ordered sushi, sashimi, crayfish, prawns, sole and stumpnose, a local fish we had not eaten before. Everything was fine - my favourite was the prawns. And - we have also been introduced to our first delicious Dom Pedro, from then on our preferred (alcoholic) dessert... A nice gimmick at the end of the fine dinner: The invoice will always be presented in a "hollow" fish (different designs used). If you look for something less formal just walk down Church Street to Mossel Bay Harbour with several small restaurants.

We were greeted with such a warm welcome when we checked in . We had a 2 storey suite with sea view that was lovely. We were given a bottle of champagne as we were celebrating our anniversary such a nice touch. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in it felt like a cloud. The pool area was lovely, we couldn’t get into the restaurant as we had left it too late to book. I love the fact they put bottled water in your room twice a day. Couple of things that could be improved we only had 2 Bath towels and 1 hand towel between us each day plus one of the wall secured shampoos by the bath was empty . The TV in the bedroom only had 2 channels both with a bad signal and the TV in the lounge area lost signal and we couldn’t recover it but to be fair we didn’t contact reception to ask for assistance. The 2 balconies were wonderful with a sea view and I would recommend staying here .

We stayed here for two nights as part of our trip along the garden route. It was a special anniversary trip and we were greeted with a welcome drink which was a lovely touch. Our room was beautiful and large, overlooking the bay. There is a small pool and lovely bar and restaurant on site. I have to give special thanks and recognition to Danisha, on our second evening at the hotel my husband was feeling very unwell. She went out of her way to help us by ringing for medical advice and even walking to a local pharmacy to get medication for us and delivering it to our room. We were so grateful for her help and kindness.
