Eight Bells Mountain Inn is a proudly South African-owned and family-run resort hotel set in a picturesque mountain landscape at the foot of the Robinson Pass in the Outeniqua Mountains outside of Mossel Bay. We have 25 rooms – ranging from standard en-suite rooms and family units to log cabin-style chalets and thatched rondavels.
Established more than 90 years ago, we have strong ties to our history and traditions. Today, our aim is to blend our old-world charm with modern comforts and four-star amenities and service. Eight Bells exudes nostalgia and comfort, a “home away from home” for many, and offers a serene place to relax and reset.
We have two restaurant venues here at Eight Bells – The Tea Garden and The Oak Room Restaurant. The Tea Garden is a bistro-style restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and tea time treats in the gardens under the lush tree canopy or in the cozy sunroom. The Oak Room Restaurant is an elegant dining room that serves South African favourites for dinner, Sunday lunches, and for special occasions. Both restaurants are open to day visitors, but reservations must be made in advance for The Oak Room Restaurant.
Set on a beautiful 160-hectare estate, there are a variety of activities and outdoor recreation facilities to enjoy at Eight Bells – such as birdwatching, hiking, horseback riding, swimming, tennis, squash, and lawn bowls!
Our beautiful gardens, mountain views and countryside charm also make for an idyllic locale for weddings, special occasions and events, as well as retreats!
