Mosselberg On Grotto Beach Hermanus

boy + girl + 4 seasons in a day = marriage  This was my second visit to Mosselberg Guesthouse and I was once again suitably impressed by the beauty of the space, the location, the sublime views, the decor and the atmosphere of peace and serenity. My first impression was ""wow look at that view!"" So I believe the architects executed the vision perfectly. Great care was taken to consider the Fynbos which makes up the garden with a winding path down to Grotto beach, a second tick in my books. All the entertainment areas open up with huge sliding doors onto a large deck so one really has a feeling of being close to nature. The high ceilings add to the feeling of space, the uncluttered decor and the beautiful art is all very tasteful.Of course there's always a downside, not serious but annoying, there's only one guest lavatory downstairs, so the 140 odd guests had to either queue up, use guest's bathrooms or fall off the deck and do it in a bush, unsavoury, I wondered wether this would pass health and safety laws abroad or how SA tourism graded the establishment? Second niggle: most ladies wore heels on the night, most heels got stuck between the deckings, not so great if you're mooching up to your beau and your leg got stuck in mid pirrouette, and then to add insult to injury, leaving our gorgeous stilletto's ruined. I overheard a guest (master builder by profession) comment on the lack of railings around the deck too, aesthetically pleasing, but not so safe or child friendly, Public liability springs to mind. The management and staff were professional, friendly, well trained and discreet. After all said and done I'd happily recommend this guesthouse any day of the week. Room Tip: Book a room with a view."
