What guests think
Aquamarine Guest House draws praise for its sweeping bay views, generous made to order breakfasts, and generally friendly staff, with many guests enjoying spacious rooms (especially the Honeymoon Suite) and terraces that make the most of the scenery.
Frequent downsides include very tight on-site parking and lots of stairs, plus a hilly setting that makes walking to restaurants harder (though a free shuttle is offered). Several reviews note traffic noise and limited soundproofing, and a few mention comfort issues like small beds or inactive air conditioning, as well as patchy after hours reception. Cleanliness standards are generally high, with only isolated complaints. Overall, expect a scenic stay with some practical trade offs around access, noise, and late evening assistance.

Facilities
On-site parking is available but repeatedly described as very tight and hard to maneuver, and there are many stairs. Guests appreciate the free shuttle to restaurants; a pool is available, and prominent gates and fences make the property feel fortified to some.

Bit of a mixed one tbh. The room was as described and had terrific views from both the room and frombreakfast. and good service in general. The breakfasts were fine but all affected by load shedding. I appreciate they were out of the hotels control but surely if you know when the outage is you can prepare by having boiled kettles and flasks and toast too held in the oven . My other minor moan apart from the tiny pool was the difficulty of parking. It was very tight indeed. They had a free shuttle to several restaurants but when I researched them they were poorly rated. Ended up going to a locals “beach” bar called La Peron which was fun and great value and their sister restaurant called Butchers crossing steak house. Have to say Mossel Bay was a big disappointment in general apart from the nice beach. Would give it a miss tbh

Very nicely presented rooms which were spacious, particularly the bathroom. Our room overlooked the pool and beyond that there were glimpses of the bay. Parking was very tight. There will be at least one flight of stairs to your room.

De accommodatie was fantastisch, het uitzicht ook, het ontbijt prima en het personeel heel aardig. Een nadeel is het parkeren, het kost heel wat stuurmanskunst om zonder schade in en uit de parkeerplaats te komen. Een klein advies: zet de yoghurtjes in een koeling.

Overall stay was fine. The room itself was nice and clean and the view was lovely. Parking and accessibility of the car parks can be quite difficult though. The staff weren’t that welcoming which was a shame and I think made a slight negative impact on our impression/stay. Also no soundproofing in the property so you can hear other guests.

Arrived and immediately felt uneasy with entry system, gates, high walls and electric wires. We went to another section. More gates. Our free drink was a sherry. Bit odd as a beer would have been lovely. The room was lovely once all the stairs were climbed. Breakfast was nice and the staff were all very friendly but tricky to find at reception at times. Free shuttle cab to town as quite a way out. Fab view over the ocean.

It was amazing, but I want to highlight a specific aspect which rise above the rest: The welcoming chocolate, or bed time chocolates, was there every day. The filtered bottle water was replaced everyday. Fresh milk there was everyday in the fridge. These are things that was sorted. At other hotels and guest houses, they do it only the first day when you arrive. It annoys me, because if I checked in everyday, I would receive these benefits. But at other hotels they think it appropriate to short change you and do not change these consumables. Relaxing, full, neat and comfortable bath and shower facilities. That is a super big plus. Well done Aquamarine. Now, one gripe: please provide non-pork alternatives for breakfast. After one week I was hoping you would catch on that some of the guests don't eat pork.

We booked the Honeymoon Suite. It was fine in terms of size. The view was awesome (as advertised). The bed was too small. The hotel emailed me prior to our stay asking about bed size. I answered requesting the largest possible. It was 1.5 meters wide. Linens were average. So were the pillows. The AC did not work. The room was unbearably hot until after sunset. When I asked the front desk, I was told the AC was disabled because the sound of the compressor disturbed other guests. What!?! The noise from the road ruined our stay. Between 4:30 & 6:30 PM, Marsh Road is a racetrack. The same in the morning. Noise started at 5:30 AM - until after 8:30. This is not something unique to our stay. We did not get a good nights sleep either night. The hotel is marketed as a 4 star property. It is not. They can do far better.

It was unfortunate without air conditioning to have the fan break. Location on a major street was also a bit noisy. The included breakfast was good as we as the view of the bay.

The setting offers broad bay and ocean views and is considered good by several guests. Others find it on a busy road with traffic noise, hilly and a bit far from restaurants, making walking less convenient; a shuttle helps.

The staff was great while on duty, but after 8 pm there is no one to contact. Our fan broke when we returned at 8:30 pm and there was no one to reach. It was unfortunate without air conditioning to have the fan break. Location on a major street was also a bit noisy. The included breakfast was good as we as the view of the bay.

Good location. Lovely decorated property with all amenities needed. We had the honeymoon suite - well worth paying for! Incredible view from the private balcony. Friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend this guest house if staying in Mossel Bay!

Lite för mycket elstaket, murar och grindar. Ej lämpligt att överhuvudtaget att gå ut, utom att de fanns gratis buss till olika restaurangers som vi fick välja mellan. Fin utsikt och sköna sängar. Jättegod frukost.

Bit of a mixed one tbh. The room was as described and had terrific views from both the room and frombreakfast. and good service in general. The breakfasts were fine but all affected by load shedding. I appreciate they were out of the hotels control but surely if you know when the outage is you can prepare by having boiled kettles and flasks and toast too held in the oven . My other minor moan apart from the tiny pool was the difficulty of parking. It was very tight indeed. They had a free shuttle to several restaurants but when I researched them they were poorly rated. Ended up going to a locals “beach” bar called La Peron which was fun and great value and their sister restaurant called Butchers crossing steak house. Have to say Mossel Bay was a big disappointment in general apart from the nice beach. Would give it a miss tbh

Location is great, place has a great view, pity as it was winter because the pool looked inviting. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice, we would stay again. Pleased we didn’t just drive past the area.

It was amazing, but I want to highlight a specific aspect which rise above the rest: The welcoming chocolate, or bed time chocolates, was there every day. The filtered bottle water was replaced everyday. Fresh milk there was everyday in the fridge. These are things that was sorted. At other hotels and guest houses, they do it only the first day when you arrive. It annoys me, because if I checked in everyday, I would receive these benefits. But at other hotels they think it appropriate to short change you and do not change these consumables. Relaxing, full, neat and comfortable bath and shower facilities. That is a super big plus. Well done Aquamarine. Now, one gripe: please provide non-pork alternatives for breakfast. After one week I was hoping you would catch on that some of the guests don't eat pork.
