Mossel Bay's mild climate makes it a year-round destination — no bad season
Mossel Bay accommodation is excellent value. The Point Hotel dominates the luxury end with its dramatic lighthouse setting, while Santos Beach and the harbour area offer mid-range options. The town centre has honest B&Bs and guesthouses at prices that would be unheard of in Knysna or Plett.
