Mossel Bay News:

[January, 2008:]

Are you tired of going by car all the time?

Are you keen on going for a nice walk?

Wandelpad

Then we do have a nice recommendation for you – leave your car at Avenues Guesthouse and explore Mossel Bay on foot! Just a few steps from the Avenues Guesthouse you will find a section of the St. Blaize Trail, which is a breathtaking trail following the coast between Dana Bay and Mossel Bay and an easy stroll. After approx. 30 minutes of genuine nature along the steep coast with a wonderful view of the Indian Ocean and a varied flora and fauna you will reach the St. Blaize Cave at the "Point", the most Eastern point of Mossel Bay.

From the Point you’ll have several options to go ahead with your exploration tour. What about a nice stroll through the nice city centre of Mossel Bay with its historical buildings? A boat trip to our seal island, the Bartholomeu Diaz Museum Complex or the Goods-Shed-Fleamarket is worth a visit.

Let the evening fade away with a delicious dinner at the “Jazzbury’s” on Marsh Street. We would like to show you the menu in advance, reserve your table and organise the transfer back to the Avenues Guesthouse. And if you feel like having a walk back to the Avenues Guesthouse after dinner, you shouldn't miss the view of the city and the port from Rodger Street.

Don’t hesitate to contact us. We would love to help you with planning your own trip through Mossel Bay!

Enjoy a trip with the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe from George to Mossel Bay!

Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe

Due to the rainfall damages in winter 2006 at the railway line between George and Knysna, the line has been closed in this direction until further notice. Now the train runs between the George Railway Museum and Mossel Bay's Diaz Museum on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. So take your chance and enjoy a steam train trip between both famous Museums! The entrance fees for both museums are included in the fare.

Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe
The Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe is the last steam hauled scheduled passenger train operating in Southern Africa. All passengers can enjoy a trip on a steam train along the coastline as well as a visit to the Railway Museum in George and to the Diaz Museum complex in Mossel Bay with its famous Post Office Tree, the Granary, the Shell Museum, the Maritime Museum and much more. The trains are normally hauled by a class 19D or class 24 steam locomotive although other locomotives may be used on special occasions.
