Eight Bells Mountain Inn  Verified Listing

Eight Bells Mountain Inn is a four-star English-style mountain resort set on a 400-acre estate amidst magnificent mountain scenery at the Foot of the Robinson Pass in the Ruiterbos Valley Region of the Garden Route, between Mossel Bay (35km) and Oudtshoorn (50km) in the Western Cape Province of South Africa

It consists of a range of delightfully furnished en-suite bedrooms, family units, thatched rondavels and timber log cabins situated in different parts of our lush gardens shared by an abundance of birdlife. Established more than 80 years ago this charming Inn is renowned for its friendly hospitality, superb service and a range of recreational facilities amidst magnificent mountain scenery. All rooms are individually decorated with their own charm and character and have either garden, pool or mountain views. Together they cater to all visitors needs, offering them a home away from home!

Recreational facilities include a swimming pool, two tennis courts, a squash court, bowling green, six different walking trails and horse riding. Children are well catered for with their own playpark, dining room and play area. The Inn proximity to the green coastal belt of the Garden Route and the timeless Little Karoo allows for easy exploration of the natural wonders, scenic mountain passes and diverse attractions that these two regions offer.
