Cape Vacca Cottages

Bartolomeu Diaz sighted Cape Vacca in 1488 after landing at Mossel Bay - Bahia dos Vaqueiros. This pristine wilderness area has been proclaimed a private nature reserve and boasts some 300 species of rare plants and wild animals.

There is roughly 8km of private coastline; with magnificent beaches sheltered by sand dunes.

The beautiful Cape Vacca Cottage is conveniently located 42km on the Cape Town side of Mossel Bay between the Gouritz River mouth and Vleesbaai, and only 40 minutes drive from George airport. The cottage is situated on secure and limited access private property.

The Cape Vacca Cottage can accommodate eight people in comfort and style. There are three beautifully decorated double rooms, three bathrooms, an open living area, a dining room and outside patios. A modern kitchen complete with all modern conveniences including a fridge, microwave, gas stove, and traditional cape 'kaggel' fire place is available to guests. For guests' convenience, the cottage will be fully serviced daily with clean sheets and fresh towels. The cottage can also be let on a self-catering basis but should guests feel like a treat, they can opt for the fully inclusive package.

For visitors with a sense of adventure, boat trips into the bay for whale watching trips and fishing expeditions can be arranged. Whales are a common sight in the bay. The Southern Right, Humped Back and Beaked Whales are regular visitors to the bay from September onwards. Skates and certain species of sharks are common visitors to the sandy shallow pools in the breeding season.
