Fodor's Expert Review Point Hotel
Point Village, Point Rd., Mossel Bay, Western Cape, 6500, South Africa
Situated next to the Cape St. Blaize lighthouse and overlooking a huge, linear tidal pool, the Point Hotel has great views over the ocean and the rugged coastline stretching west. In season (July–October), you may see whales from your private balcony. The start of the scenic and fragrant cliff-top Cape St. Blaize Trail is a short stroll away, and the ocean is a stone's throw from most balconies. There is a tidal pool close by. The hotel often accommodates tour groups, which means the foyer can feel a bit like a public transportation terminal. Ask for a room from the second floor upward for unobstructed views.
