About Us
Historical Splendour
The manor is an impressive sandstone building with classic architectural features of the mid-1800s. Through careful preservation and expert restoration, the masterful craftsmanship of centuries ago is still evident in the delicate finishes and sturdy carpentry. The grace and elegance of a bygone era give the house a warm character with an irrepressible romantic touch.
Creating Memories
A fully equipped farm style kitchen is available for those who want to prepare their own culinary favorites. Help yourself to a nightcap at the bar and cozy up in front of the fireplace. For a jovial get-together, book for a traditional “braai”-dinner. In the golden glow of the bonfire, short stories grow in stature, tales get tails and fleeting friendships become a lifetime memory. A delectable health-breakfast, served in the fresh open air, adds extra zest to a new day.
Get Lost
The exuberance of the garden is an irresistible invitation to explore the intriguing maze of nooks and crannies amid the glossy leaves and fragrant flower petals. A few twists and turns lead to the cool ponds of exotic Japanese Koi fish. Along the way you might spot a Cameleon, catch the glint of a miniature sculpture nestled in a tiny alcove or hear the hum of an African drum. You can also just settle into a hammock and doze off under the guard of majestic 400-year-old wild fig and milkwood trees.
This blissful environment is further enhanced by its location in a private cul-de-sac. Overlooking a unique botanical park, the tranquillity belies the close vicinity of the lively town centre. Another world of shops, restaurants and glorious beaches is just a stroll away..!

Mossel Bay
Mossel Bay (Afrikaans: Mosselbaai) is a harbour town of about 99,319 people on the Southern Cape (or Garden Route) of South Africa. It is in an important tourism and farming region of the Western Cape Province. Mossel Bay lies 400 kilometres east of the country's seat of parliament, Cape Town (which is also the capital city of the Western Cape Province), and 400 km west of Port Elizabeth, the largest city in the Eastern Cape Province. The older parts of the city occupy the north-facing side of the Cape St Blaize Peninsula, whilst the newer suburbs straddle the Peninsula and have spread eastwards along the sandy shore of the Bay.
The city's economy relied heavily on farming, fishing and its commercial harbour (the smallest in the Transnet Port Authority's stable of South African commercial harbours), until the 1969 discovery of natural offshore gas fields led to the development of the gas-to-liquids refinery operated by PetroSA. Tourism is another driver of Mossel Bay's economy.
Etymology
The origin of the name Mossel Bay (the Bay of Mussels) has to do with the ascendancy of the Dutch shipping merchants in the late 16th and the early 17th Centuries. In one account, the explorer Cornelis de Houtman named the place Mosselbaai when he stopped there in 1595, whilst in another, the Dutch Admiral Paulus van Caerden named it when he came ashore on 8 July 1601. Whatever the case, though, the mussels and oysters on the shore would have been a welcome addition to the limited diet on which ship's crews were expected to survive in those days.
History
Although it is today best known as the place at which the first Europeans landed on South African soil (Bartolomeu Dias and his crew arrived on 3 February 1488), Mossel Bay's human history can - as local archaeological deposits have revealed - be traced back more than 164,000 years.
The modern history of Mossel Bay began on 3 February 1488, when the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias landed with his men at a point close to the site of the modern-day Dias Museum Complex. Here they found a spring from which to replenish their water supplies. Dias had been appointed to search for a trading route to India by King John II of Portugal, and, without realising it, actually rounded the Cape of Good Hope before landing at Mossel Bay - which he named Angra dos Vaqueiros (The Bay of Cowherds). Dias is also credited with having given the Cape the name Cabo das Tormentas (the ‘Cape of Storms’), although King John II later changed this to Cabo da Boa Esperança (the Cape of Good Hope).
