Explore
the Endless Horizons
Located in the heart of the Garden Route, The Point
Hotel is superbly positioned on the rocks below Mossel Bay's famous St Blaize
Lighthouse. Guests can expect magnificent views and a tranquil atmosphere.
Facilities
at the 4-star hotel include 52 luxury sea facing, en-suite bedrooms each with
their own private balcony. Enjoy spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and unwind
with a drink and marvel at the majestic sea life, which includes dolphins, humpback-
and southern right whales.
Each room is equipped with M-Net and DSTV, international
plug points, remote control ceiling fans, panel heaters, direct dial telephones,
tea and coffee station, a lock-up safe to ensure a comfortable stay and an internet
access point with Wi-Fi hot spots located throughout the hotel.
The hotel
is fully accessible with hydraulic lifts servicing all floors and wheel-chair
friendly rooms and bathrooms. The Lighthouse Restaurant serves sumptuous buffet
breakfasts and offers a Provencal-style Mediterranean a la carte menu as well
as set menus and buffets for groups.
Conference facilities and equipment
for up to 80 delegates are available and the function room with spectacular views
of the sea is an ideal venue for private dinners and weddings.
The recently
established Business Centre is located on the ground floor and accommodates 10
delegates around a boardroom table and offers computer, printing and internet
facilities.
Directly below The Point Hotel is the largest tidal pool on
the South African coastline, formed by natural rocks, this area is a popular place
even at low tide and offers safe bathing to guests.
Next to the hotel you'll
find a fantastic spot to wind down with some surfing. Frequented by local and
international surfers, it's not to be missed.
Behind the hotel and perched
above the Mossel Bay peninsula is the St Blaize Lighthouse. Erected in 1864, this
is definitely a historical site of interest for tourists with awesome views of
the majestic Indian Ocean. Directly below the lighthouse is the Khoi-San Cave.
Originally inhabited by the indigenous Khoi-San people, this is the site where
Bartholomeu Diaz was first witnessed during his discovery voyage of the Southern
Cape. Another attraction is the famous St Blaize walking trail, which follows
a contour path for 15 kilometres to Dana Bay.
As the days winds down and
the beautiful African sun falls below the horizon, guests can enjoy a leisurely
stroll around the Point area where the public facilities recently underwent an
upgrade.
This has now made the Point area a safe and attractive environment
to enjoy with six different restaurants offering from seafood to Italian to tapas
- there is something to suit everyone's taste. "New developments and recent
upgrades have restored The Point to its rightful place as a premier waterfront
destination," said Louis Harris, owner of The Point Hotel.

THE AXIS EXPERIENCE
"Set on the rock in Mossel
Bay, with beautiful views of the ocean. You couldn’t get any closer to the
ocean than this, unless you went sailing!
The Point is a very well run
hotel, that still manages to make you feel like you are at home. The food and
wine menus are excellent with a wide variety of choices to suit every taste. Breakfast
was outstanding! I reckon that it would take you the better part of the day to
sample everything on the buffet table! (I plan to do this next time!)" | |
