About this property

The Secret Garden Mossel Bay

This charming two-bedroom cottage-style home offers a tranquil retreat with a wonderfully private and relaxing feel throughout. Tucked behind a gated driveway, the property features a light-filled kitchen diner, a comfortable living room, and a bathroom with a full-size bath — perfect for unwinding after a long day.

In addition to the two bedrooms, there’s a versatile office space ideal for remote working or quiet reading. Step outside to enjoy the enclosed rear garden and courtyard, offering complete privacy for morning coffees.

The standout feature is the beautifully maintained, shared mature garden at the front of the house — a serene green space that sets the tone for your stay. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, this peaceful hideaway offers the perfect base.

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I didn’t feel that the property was secure enough with gate being open and neighborhood felt unsafe.

Response from VrboOwner on Nov 1, 2025
Hi, I’m the owner of the property, sorry to hear you feel this way. This has been our family home for the best part of 30 years and this is one of the safest areas in Mosselbay. The gates are never left open, your host that stays at the back of the property has dogs living with her and always makes sure it’s closed. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in South Africa.
