Mossel Bay Hostels

Day 7 of our trip and we had a breakdown 16km from Mossel bay. When arriving at Santos Express we where greeted very friendly, we had so much stuff with us due to breakdown. Staff helped carry all our luggage to our Suite, moment that door opened I was shocked with beauty. It's really an old train room, the wood, the chairs, the decor, all of it... Train was just not moving. The view was amazing, sleeping at night and hearing the sea was a treat. Had supper at the restaurant and loads of drinks. Food and drinks was well priced and delicious. Next morning breakfast was a treat and the staff was friendly and amazing. I can not wait to go visit again, and stay for longer as it's really beautiful. I can be strict and complain that all windows didn't open, or all blinds don't go down but this is an old train and to still have all look so beautiful. I will again book a suit as it's very specious, with own toilet, bath and shower. We slept well, bed and cushions was comfortable, extra blanket which we used during the night when wind picked up but I didn't want to close the window and hear the sea all night. Highly recommend Santo Express Train
