Description

The Santos Express Train Lodge situated on the Santos Beach in Mossel Bay is one of the most eccentric places to stay. This genuine train offers great sea views from all its cabins. An invigorating sea breeze keeps everything cool, even on really hot days. We offer you a unique stay in a double compartment or single coupé similar to the Trans Karoo.

We have 7 coaches, of which 4 are identical, with 5 compartments sleeping between 2-4 guests, 2 coupe’s sleeping between 1-2 guests, 2 toilets and 1 shower. The fifth coach is divided into 3 Caboose - an en-suite room with a balcony. Coaches 6 and 7 are our vintage Royal Ladies, 2 suites in every coach with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, amenities included, and balconies with outside furniture overlooking the beautiful Munro Bay.

Double- and single rates include a free continental breakfast. Royal suites include the light breakfast, as well as a complimentary upgrade to an additional hot English breakfast. We can accommodate a maximum of 122 persons and we have special rates for groups of 30 persons and more during our low season. Menus can be customized to suit your budget and requirements.

Our happening restaurant and bar serves breakfast all day, and other delicious meals such as steaks, seafood and our most famous traditional meals; these can be served inside or on the sun deck. The restaurant is open from 7:30 am.

Our staff can assist with all travel- and adventure arrangements such as shark cage diving, boat-based whale watching, sky diving, game drives, quad biking, deep-sea fishing, pleasure boat trips to Seal Island etc.

We are a 5-10 minute walk from the Dias museum complex, harbour and town centre.
