What guests think

Bar-t-nique Guest House impresses many with sweeping bay views from spacious rooms—often with balconies—and a quiet hilltop setting, though its steep approach and distance from the waterfront make walking to town, beaches, and restaurants less convenient for some.

Breakfast is widely praised for taste and freshness. Service is consistently described as friendly and accommodating, with occasional complimentary upgrades appreciated. A few guests mention uninspiring room decor or layout. Expect a comfortable stay best suited to those fine with short taxi rides or hilly walks.

A rather complicated entrance / exit for non technical residents. Lots of stairs inside the building for the elderly. Fab views and the best omelette ever !!! We will return.

We werden goed ontvangen door de receptie. Het hotel ligt wat van het centrum, dus je moet met de auto of lopen naar de activiteiten. We hebben een mooie trail gelopen, de start 15 minuutjes van het hotel. Hoewel het personeel aardig is en het hotel schoon, waren er wel wat zaken qua interieur die je wenkbrauwen doen fronsen. Ze hebben bijvoorbeeld blauwe plastic ijsblokjes in de jus en melk bij het buffet, wat er onsmakelijk uitziet. De plastic plantjes op tafel en de bijzondere aankleding maakt het af. Geen slecht hotel, maar zeker ook niet de beste. De stijle entree is met de auto een uitdaging als deze weinig power lijkt te hebben.

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

Location

Elevated above Mossel Bay with panoramic views, but the steep hill makes walking to the waterfront and attractions challenging for some; taxis or short drives are commonly used.
