Just ask where the best places to go in Mossel Bay are. You will not be disappointed.

Sal weer daar gaan bly awesome.

Ek het baie lekker gebly. Oom Johan, die eienaar, is 'n baie wyse man en die plek sal my weer sien. Super lekker, rustig, stil en als wat mens sal nodig kry vir 'n vakansie.

We are not happy with the service.

The condition of the accommodation was not good. It has not been noted that there was one bathroom and one kitchen for the whole accommodation with about 10 guests. The room had a very bad smell, and the bedding was not clean. This is very unacceptable and disgusting.

Ek het 'n rustige oorstaanaand daar geniet.

Die eienaar het my professioneel en vriendelik ontvang en hy het absoluut uit sy pad gegaan om my te akkommodeer en my tuis en gemaklik te laat voel. Hy was ook heeltyd beskikbaar vir sy gaste. My verblyf was rustig en stil en my voertuig was veilig in privaat parkering. Ek kan Bay Vista aanbeveel en sal beslis weer daar oorbly. Baie dankie!

Nie rustig geslaap nie, want ek was bekommerd oor my kar wat op die straat moes staan.

Nie gesê dis 'n backpackers nie. Die kamer was beknop en warm. Die badkamers was skoon, maar die kombuis was vol vuil skottelgoed.

Die wegbreek was goed maar, die verblyf was nie soos ons verwag het nie.

Die kamer wat ons gehad het kan regtig doen met 'n klein bietjie opknapping. Die gordyne hang soos dit wil en is baie outyds, die beddegoed en bed kon ook beter wees.

Dis 'n goeie plek vir backpackers, net 'n bed en môre gaan jy verder.

Die geriewe is skoon en netjies en die eienaar is baie goed met sy gaste. Die plek is nie ingestel op gerief nie, dis baie basic. Dis net 'n bed, moenie iets meer verwag nie.

Baie gasvry ontvang, Johan vriendelik, baie behulpsaam, geriewe skoon en netjies.

Ons het net een nag oorgebly. Johan het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en toe ons sukkel om Bay Vista te vind, het Johan vriendelik ons gehelp telefonies om tot by ons bestemming uit te kom. Ons kamer was baie skoon en netjies. Beskikbare geriewe was vir ons gewys asook die beste eetplekke het Johan vir ons uitgewys. Kan beslis Bay Vista aanbeveel. Lekker geslaap en restaurante en hul werkers was so vriendelik. Seekos vars van die see.

Asemrowende uitkyk op hawe, uitstekende diens, gemaklike kamer.

Die atmosfeer by die gastehuis laat jou dink aan jou eie. Alle geriewe is vrylik beskikbaar vir gebruik, daar is selfs 'n plekkie om te braai. Die eienaar/bestuurder is vriendelik, gee graag hulp en vertel jou van die juwele van Mosselbaai. Ten sterkste sal ek hierdie plekkie aanbeveel. En hulle het hul eie beddegoed.

Een woord: Amazing!

Ons het tuisgegaan by 'n paar plekke op ons roadtrip. Dit was ons heel eerste keer in 'n backpackers en ons het nie geweet wat om te verwag nie. Dit was ons laaste aand van vakansie toe Johan ons verwelkom. Die kinders was onmiddellik gelukkig met die Wi-Fi en Johan het die beste plek vir aandete, Kaai 4,en ontbyt, Delfino's, aanbeveel. Alles was skoon en netjies en rustig. Ons sal definitief terug wees!

One word: Amazing!

We stopped at a few places on our road trip. It was our very first time in a backpackers and we didn't know what to expect. It was our last night of vacation when Johan welcomed us. The children were immediately happy with the Wi-Fi and Johan recommended the best place for dinner, Kaai 4, and breakfast, Delfino's. Everything was clean and tidy and peaceful. We will definitely be back!

Onbeskryflik, kon nie glo daar bestaan so 'n plek nie, baie dankie.

Dit was 'n onbeskryflike ondervinding, die veiligheid van ons voertuig was vir ons 'n groot verrassing. Die vriendelikheid van die eienaar self, dit was 'n ondervinding om nooit te vergeet nie.

Indescribable, could not believe such a place existed, thank you very much.

It was an indescribable experience, the safety of our vehicle was a big surprise for us. The kindness of the owner himself, it was an experience to never forget.

Lekker gebly.

Ons het lekker gebly. Alles was mooi skoon en netjies. Kombuis goed ingerig. Koffie, tee beskikbaar vir gebruik soveel jy wil. Die gasheer het baie mooi vertel waar verskillende heerlike koffie en eetplekke is - die verwysings was baie goed en ons het heerlik gekuier. Ons het in die dubbelkamer voor geslaap. Die enigste ding wat ek vir die gasheer wil aanbeveel is om donker blinds by die voor en sy vensters in te sit sodat die buiteligte nie so helder in die kamer inskyn nie. Maar verder was alles goed en heerlik. Baie dankie.

Nice stay.

We had a nice stay. Everything was nice and clean. Kitchen well equipped. Coffee, tea available for use as much as you want. The host told very nicely where there are different delicious coffee and places to eat - the references were very good and we had a great time. We slept in the front double room. The only thing I would recommend to the host is to put dark blinds in the front and side windows so that the outside lights don't shine so brightly into the room. But otherwise everything was good and delicious. Thank you very much.

Dit was die beste besluit wat ek nog ooit gemaak het omtrent verblyf.

Johan, die eienaar was professioneel, bedagsaam, vriendelik en behulpsaam. Bay View is 'n cozy plek en ek't nie juis die luuksheid verwag van 'n backpakkers lodge nie. Daar was als wat ek nodig gehad het om my verblyf vlot te laat verloop en ek't baie veilig gevoel. Baie mooi uitsig gehad en my kar was ook veilig voor die gebou. Dit was ongewoon, maar Johan het my gerus gestel dat niks sal gebeur nie. Ek sal enigtyd weer gaan kuier. Baie dankie Johan en die LekkeSlaap-span vir 'n aangename verblyf.

It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay and I felt very safe. Had such a stunning view and my car was safe in front of the building. It was peculiar, but Johan assured we that nothing would happen. I will go stay there again anytime. Thanks to Johan and the LekkeSlaap team for a pleasant stay.

Ek kon elke oomblik van my 24 uur in Mosselbaai aangenaam en nuttig spandeer deur die goeie basis wat Bay Vista aanbied.

Die kamer en geriewe is doeltreffend en netjies, soos ook die gesamentlike areas van kombuis, eetkamer en TV kamer. Selfs die parkeerplek vir voertuie in die straat voor die gebou, is totaal veilig en gerieflik. Daar kort net 'n aangewese rook-area, sodat rookvrye gaste nie benadeel word nie..

I was able to spend every moment of my 24 hours in Mossel Bay pleasant and useful thanks to the good base that Bay Vista offers.

The room and facilities are efficient and tidy, as are the common areas of kitchen, dining room and TV room. Even the parking for vehicles in the street in front of the building is totally safe and convenient. There is only a designated smoking area, so that non-smoking guests are not harmed.

Baie lekker gebly. Johann is baie vriendelik en stap die ekstra myl. Ek sal wel die middelste kamers vermy in die somer. Geen ventilasie. Dalk lugversorging 'n opsie? Maar verder is daar geen klagtes nie. Dit was heerlik. Dankie.

Very nice.

When we got to Bay Vista there was a problem with our reservation. However, Johan solved it by letting us live in a "bachelor's flat". It was nice. We were also happy because Bay Vista's parking is on the street and we were nervous because we also had our stroller. But with the apartment there was also covered parking.

Comfortable and welcoming!

Cheap accommodation but house and rooms are clean, neat and well maintained. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival. Felt my car was safe parked on the street as cameras cover the area and the owner keeps an eye on the cars as well. A pleasant and unexpected surprise on departure was a generous meal voucher for breakfast. I would recommend Bay Vists to anyone requiring inexpensive, quiet accommodation.

Hierdie plek is vir "backpackers" bedoel.

Die kamer waar ons geslaap het moet liewer as 'n pakkamer gebruik word, dis regtig nie bedoel vir gaste wat betaal nie. Ons het bitter warm gekry in die kamer met geen venster of ventilasie nie, dit was aaklig! Ons sal beslis nie weer gaan nie.
