Great stay, a very relaxing weekend getaway!

We had a wonderful stay and the host was prompt to respond to all our questions. We brought our dog with us and there were dog treats in the kitchen which was a really nice touch! It was very quiet and having direct access to the beach was wonderful. There is a bench right above the beach, where you can sit and have your morning coffee and watch the waves roll in. The only thing to mention is that the parking for your vehicle is not on the premises behind the gate. This should be mentioned as it is important for security. Also, with load shedding, it might be advisable to get some sort of gas plate and kettle for boiling water for coffee/tea and or cooking when the power is off, as both the stove and hob are electric.

Heerlike wegbreek!

Mossel is the Gem is stapafstand van die see af en was die perfekte wegbreek vir ons! Alles was netjies en die kombuis is ingerig met alle toebehore wat 'n mens benodig. Ons het heerlike gekuier!

Mossel is the Gem is walking distance from the sea and was the perfect getaway for us! Everything was tidy and the kitchen was equipped with all the accessories one could need. We had a great time!

Rustige stilte met net net die geluid van branders wat inrol. Salf vir die siel.

Dis 'n gerieflike eenheid met 'n besonder goed ingerigte kombuis. Die nuewe toegemaakte stoep bied lieflike ontspanspasie waar ons heerlik in natuurlike lig kon sit en skilder. Dit sou egter baie goed gewees het as ons ons motor binnekant die hek kon parkeer. Mens is ook nie seker of ons saans vensters kon oopmaak nie. Behalwe daarvoor, het ons heerlik gerus en gekuier.

Peaceful silence with only the sound of waves rolling in. Salve for the soul.

It's a comfortable unit with a particularly well-equipped kitchen. The new closed porch offers a lovely relaxing space where we could sit and paint in natural light. However, it would have been very good if we could park our car inside the gate. One is also not sure if we could open windows at night. Apart from that, we had a wonderful rest and visit.

Aangenaam verras met skoon en netjiese geriewe.

Ons kon ons hondjie saamneem en daar was selfs vir hom eetgoedjies en 'n waterbak met beddegoed. Hy het so spesiaal gevoel en ons was net so bederf met eetgoed en beskikaarheid van WiFi. Dit was 'n besondere lekker ervaring om daar te kon rus en stap. Ons sou net graag ons voertuig agter die hekke wou parkeer.

Pleasantly surprised with clean and tidy facilities.

We could take our puppy with us and there were even snacks and a water bowl with bedding for him. He felt so special and we were just as spoiled with food and availability of WiFi. It was a particularly nice experience to be able to rest and walk there. We would just like to park our vehicle behind the gates.

Heerlike wegbreek saam met ons hondekinders!

Ons het 'n heerlike wegbreek by Mossel is the Gem of Yzerfontein geniet. Enid was geduldig en akkommoderend met al ons versoeke en vrae en dit word baie waardeer. Ons honde het die paar dae weg net so baie geniet. Die woonstel is lekker ingerig en die ligging is fantasties. Dankie Enid en familie - ons sien julle beslis weer!

We enjoyed a lovely break at Mossel is the Gem of Yzerfontein. Enid was patient and accommodating with all our requests and questions and that is much appreciated. Our dogs enjoyed the few days away just as much. The apartment is nicely furnished and the location is fantastic. Thank you Enid and family - we will definitely see you again!

Asemrowend, rustig, gemaklik, hemels.

Mossel is 'n gemaklike eenheid wat pragtig ingerig is, net 'n paar tree van die strand. Pragtig, skoon en netjies met baie lekker kuier-stoep wat op see uitkyk. Die waterbak, kombersies en koekies vir die honde-kinders is spesiaal. Enid en Johan is verskriklike aangename eienaars wat uit hul pad gaan om jou kuier lekker te maak. Verseker sal ons en ons honde-kinders weer daar gaan kuier.

Breathtaking, peaceful, comfortable, heavenly.

Mossel is a comfortable, beautifully appointed unit just a few steps from the beach. Beautiful, clean and tidy with a very nice patio overlooking the sea. The water bowl, blankets and cookies for the dog-children are special. Enid and Johan are incredibly pleasant owners who go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Surely we and our dog-children will visit there again.

Pragtige area en baie gemaklike huisvesting.

Ek was lanklaas in 'n selfsorg-eenheid wat so goed toegerus was, letterlik alles wat jy nodig het is daar. Die ligging was vir ons perfek, dis weg van die hoofstrand af maar die strand voor en om die huis is asemrowend mooi en lekker stil. Dis 'n kort stappie dorp area toe. Pak jou fiets, dis heerlik om rond te ry. Enid en Johan, dankie vir julle mooi juweel van 'n plekkie.

Beautiful area and very comfortable accommodation.

It's been a long time since I've been in a self-catering unit that was so well equipped, literally everything you need is there. The location was perfect for us, it's away from the main beach but the beach in front of and around the house is breathtakingly beautiful and nice and quiet. It's a short walk to the town area. Pack your bike, it's great to ride around. Enid and Johan, thank you for your beautiful gem of a place.

Dis 'n pragtige plek en 'n fantastiese ligging om net te kan strand toe stap. Ons het die verblyf geniet.

Die Mossel voldoen aan al mens se behoeftes vir 'n gemaklike verblyf. As die see 'n trekpleister is, is Mossel beslis reg geleë.

Baie rustig!

Dit was heerlik om so op die strand te bly. Ons het die elektriese lakens en verwarmer baie waardeer. Enigste 2 nadele is dat daar nie veilige parkeerplek is nie en slegs 'n Weber-braai. Ek sou ten minste 'n braaidrom aanbeveel sodat mens met hout kan braai. Verder is dit lekker stil en privaat.

Very calm!

It was lovely to stay on the beach like this. We really appreciated the electric sheets and heater. Only 2 cons are that there is no secure parking and only a Weber grill. I would recommend at least a braai drum so that one can braai with wood. Furthermore, it is nice and quiet and private.

Dit was die hoogtepunt van ons reis deur die Wes-Kaap.

Die woonstel is baie goed toegerus en uitstekend geleë. Die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om ons verbly aangenaam te maak. Ons hondekind het die verblyf net so baie geniet. Ons kan Mossel in Yzerfontein beslis aanbeveel.

Fantastiese uitsig, doodse stilte, absolute rustigheid.

Mossel was een van die beste weg-naweke wat ek al hier in die Kaap gehad het. Eerstens, honde-vriendelik, wat 'n groot plus is. Selfs die ander honde daar was honde-vriendelik! Die semi-privaat strand is net 'n kort stappie weg, en die uitsig van die plekkie se stoep af het absolute saligheid gebring. Ek sal beslis terugkeer, en sien uit!

Fantastic view, dead silence, absolute tranquility.

Mossel was one of the best away weekends I've had here in the Cape. First, dog friendly, which is a big plus. Even the other dogs there were dog friendly! The semi-private beach is just a short walk away, and the view from the place's porch brought absolute bliss. I will definitely return, and look forward to it!
