"I really liked the staaf, they were very helpfull and friendly.
The room was basic but nice and clean. The area around the hostel felt really poor and insafe at night, so we stayed in the hostel during that time of the day."

"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"
"I’ve stayed in many beautiful hotels around the world, but Botlierskop is, without question, the best hotel I’ve ever experienced. Booked 1 night, stayed 2 - best decision we made. One night isn't enough! We don’t often return to the same place, but we’ll definitely be back. The setting, the people, the service, the wildlife — it all came together to create a truly unforgettable stay. We stayed in a deluxe tent, which was stunning and incrediblycomfortable. The spa was equally impressive. What really sets this reserve apart is the attention to detail and level of service. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely passionate. Huge thanks to the lovely reception team, the knowledgeable and funny sommelier, our amazing guides (especially Kali on our game drive and Victor for horse riding), and Jeclan the porter, who made us feel so welcome. We also had another wonderful guide on our morning game drive, extremely knowledgeable, though we sadly missed his name. The reserve is huge, spanning two valleys, and unlike other reserves, all animals live in the same natural environment. Animals roam freely, just as they would in the wild. The commitment to conservation is clear — from maintaining ecological balance to protecting endangered specie. You can feel that wildlife and nature come first here. We even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of horse riding beside giraffes. We highly recommend doing both the morning and evening game drives — each offers something unique. "
"Fabulous views on the beach front. We stayed in Robben Island which was on top floor and had the most wonderful views of the gorgeous beach and sea. Room was spacious and clean with small kitchenette area with microwave which was useful. A short 5 min drive to some shops and restaurants. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Would recommend a stay at this wonderful location."
"The owner couldn’t do enough - truly amazing service and beautiful room and views. I also liked the cat and the birds which came to visit the bird feeder! "
"They are changing owner so lot of work going on.
Breakfast is amazing but beds to low and short. This may change as they upgrade but not best nights sleep.
Staff are lovely."
