Could be run better. We stayed here a couple of nights, and the place looks great and the cabins were a nice change. We also met some very nice other couples who were staying there. The fireplace in the living room area was very welcome this time of year and the bar area is interesting.But - they play the most annoying 50s and 60s pop music throughout all the common areas which for me diminished the dinner and the time in front of the fireplace. Because the place is remote you pretty much have to eat your dinners there, and both the service and meals were mediocre. Of all the places we stayed on a two week vacation along the Western Cape this is one I would not recommend - though the problems are fixable if someone pays more attention.

One of my favorite places ever! Absolutely stunning area with scenic views, relaxing atmosphere and a very rich history. Great for events and over-all highly recommended. Eight Bells personally has a very special place in my heart. Its môre than just a Mountain Inn or Restaurant, its an experience and place where the best of memories are made. The food is excellent, the staff is very friendly and its definitely a must visit!

Delightful calming resort. Our kid had a gas

Just love the charming spot, excellent for accommodation, a breakfast, lunch and dinner in a beautiful setting.

Pity could not stay longer and make use of their many amenities . Had a good dinner and great breakfast .

A wonderful trip down memory lane (previous visit 40 years ago). A lovely setting, food prima quality (dinner & breakfast), service superb, host Billy a real gentleman with a staff team who really care about their guests. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will definitely return within the next year. Upcoming winter special is a must. Ned, the donkey, formed a special bond with us!😊🥰

Excellent atmosphere. Beautiful view... Great food.

Beautiful setting under a enormous Flame tree in a lush, well maintained garden with views of the mountains.Friendly staff and delectable food. The Ploughmans platter is a winner for any lady!! Both beautifully presented and tasty.Highly recommended.

Beautiful place and very friendly and helpfull staff.We had a great time and the 3 nights we stayed we enjoyed every minute.The walks in nature with Massy,the dog we will never forget.

I love everything about this place. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the accomodation is clean, neat and comfortable, and the food is very good. Beautiful view on the mountains.

Had a nice lunch under the trees, good time with family and friends. A real gem to visit. Friendly staff and delicious food.

Beautiful country setting with old world charm. Friendly staff.

Billy and his team deliver a world class experience in a truly unique setting providing delicious food and refreshments to travellers . Take a walk after your meal and be entertained by resident boarder collie Messi or do some birdwatching in the extensive fields surrounding the historic Inn.

Its our 3rd visit and it wont be our last! Beautiful setting, friendly staff, delicious meals and teas. A variety of activities on offer - swimming, tennis, bowls, horse riding and hiking. The pretty gardens, accommodation and amenities are all well maintained.

8 Bells.. Just perfectly lovely.. I cannot believe it was so empty. Service brilliant.. Food.. Yummy.. Location.. Absolutely Stunning!!!

Used to holiday here as a child over Christmas when Mr and Mrs Brown and Mr and Mrs Klootwyk ran the resort. Was such memories to visit today

A beautiful place to visit or stay. The views are simply amazing and there are animals and play area for kids. The food served was also 👌, would highly recommend.

Best marmelade ever.

Excellent food with warm service. Lovely garden! Try their house speciality platter! To die for! Fresh fruit, generous ham, cheeses, ostrich liver paté...

Popped in for a coffee and cake after a great motorcycle ride. The staff were friendly and the apple tart with ice cream was great. Due to Covid the establishment was quite deserted, but we had a most enjoyable time in the garden.

Neat...friendly people....nice surroundings...peaceful

Good snd friendly staff.

Terrible terrible. Rather steer clear. Nice view, but most of the food is very much below par.

Stunning establishment. Loved the hike - not recommemded for beginners though. Stunning views.

Really lovely setting! For a nice affordable breakaway! Excellent food and service!

Had the most delicius cheese cake there.

We had a great time. Staff so friendly and helpful. The meals were delicous.

By far our favorite Sunday lunch and Tea venue. A lovely drive up to the mountains and a really beautiful venue for a break and relax. Walks through the trails are fun.

Excellent service and great food... An awesome weekend at a beautiful place....

Beautifull little country hotel. The menu is priced evenly. Most beautifull garden, birdsong and tranquil.

Most amazing setting and venue facility.

Beautiful surroundings and great breakfast. Friendly service.

Lekka vibe, lekka food. Everything is lekke. There is a snooker table and a table tennis.

Wonderful place to come to a standstill. Traditional country hospitality at its best.

In this Covid time, it was very quiet. A lovely place to enjoy a lunch, a walk and the great views. A place we will return to when our (grand) children are visiting, they will enjoy sporting & horse riding while we smaple the food and wines.

A lovely country setting. Our Sunday lunch was delicious.

Extremely peaceful and quiet. Food was good and nice play area

Professions treatment. Lovely surroundings and a must visit/stay when in Mossel Bay.

Beautiful and scenic venue. A wonderful, peaceful and pristine

Small menu for light meals, but stunning mountain view 😍

It is very beautiful there and the people are so friendly.

Great Sunday lunch!

Travel back in time and find zen here. It is quaint and majestic all at the same time. The care taken to maintain the history is incredible. The grounds and surrounds are breathtaking, and tea in the silver service restaurant makes you feel like royalty. If you want to get away from the buzz of day to day life. Book here.

Absolutely fabulous. Service outstanding! COVID-19 protection 110%. Beautiful!

Good food, good coffee. Nice and clean.

Great spot.. we had a good breakfast and were served with a smile..

It was very relaxing to sit under the trees and just ponder what is happening in the world!

Enjoyed tea and freshly baked scones jam and cream. Delicious and Margaret served us beautifully as ususl.

Great hotel, mountain setting, good food and friendly services

Had an excellent break here. Staff friendly, helpful and make you feel at home.

Well kept outdoor space that is very peaceful. Good value with very friendly service. Hotel with several cottages that look really nice but Ive never stayed here.

We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed our stay immensely! Very tranquil, staff is very kind and strives to make your stay a wonderful experience. 5 stars at 4 star rates. Gardens are beautiful and you can enjoy walks on the trails in the valley. The restaurant serves excellent dishes and breakfast had something for every taste. Loved it, will return the next time Im in the area.

We had a great day at Eight Bells. I wanted to give 5 stars but cant because my fries were undercooked. The rest of the meal was good quality and good value for money. Personal request: I would love if Eight Bells started using bamboo/carton straws. :-)

Beautiful countryside.

The most beautiful and relaxing setting. Absolutely wonderful for a family with great facilities for kids, including tble tennis and pool table recreational room, bowls and tennis courts. We went on a beautiful hike which was safe. The rooms were clean and welcoming with all the necessaries. They were cleaned each day while we were out. The staff were friendly and you could see that they cared about their place of work. Unfortunately the food for the price was not up to standards, but we were informed that this was not a regular case. I would definitely recommend it to families as there were many families with children. Great holiday in all, unfortunately just wish the food was a bit better

This is one of our favourite places in South Africa and we first visited over 20 years ago. Previously we stayed in the rondavels by the swimming pool which we loved because of the uniqueness. This time we stayed in a swiss village chalet (no 5) with the most stunning views of the countryside.The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely location. Just dropped in for a drink and the eight bells was very welcoming and friendly. Looks nice place to stay

Great place, service slow though

Lovely tranquil setting in the country side. Had some apple pie which were fair. Others enjoyed milk-tart. Ordered cheesecake to take away but they had no containers for this purpose available. Would love to spend a night next time I visit - colorful garden!

Treat yourself to the finer things in life! Absolutely love this little gem! Best scones and clotted cream in the Southern Cape.

Scenic route from Hartenbos, good breakfast

We had an amazing stay. Very friendly staff. All the rooms are neat and clean. The breakfast was nice.

Pristinely kept. Friendly helpful staff. Set in a beautiful garden. The food is delicious . A good place to unwind.

Despite the food being a bit touch and go in the evenings, I understood the predicament. The rest of the holiday was fantastic. Great recreational facilities, opportunities to hike, quiet, peaceful and very memorable.Will definitely be visiting again.

Nice trail to walk with kids and food delicious.

Enjoyed the day hikes

Beautiful area in the pass, with a view that can put anywhere else to shame. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are perfect. The food was above average.

Awesome relaxing environment, great food. If you want some R&R even with kids you going to struggle to find a better place. Will definitely be back

Amazing cake. Coffee was a little too hot for my taste. View is incredible and the place is so calming. If I had the money Id stay here foe a few weeks.

Wonderful experience!!! Pure nature!!

Had a great time with the kids, and went for a nice walk down to the river. Kids loved it too

Awesome view, friendly staff with good food

Good food excellent service

Beautiful garden restaurant to have lunch and drink coffee, open to the public. Service is slow though, but the view makes up for it. They have a variety of rooms to stay in a a few activities to enjoy including a recreation room. Sit and enjoy!

This is a wonderful place.

Child friendly, lovely patios

Tranquil lunch venue with olde world charm!!

Awesome venue. Best views and very good service. Food could be better to obtain the last star maybe.

Hidden away about 25km from Hartenbos. Eight bells is the prefect place to get away from all the noice and busy sea shore. A delighful place with a great menu and area for the kids to play.

The log cabins are cozy and has spectacular Mountain View. Fine dining experience was fabulous at their restaurant. Their cheese cake and apple pie was a delicious treat!! Friendly staff who very helpful with a smile!! Thank you!!

Wow what a beautiful place. Well worth its 4 stars.

You just cant get enough of this place... home away from home. Truly a very nice place to visit often. The staff is amazing and the service is world class.

No scones which is what they r allegedly famous for and also no coffee. How did u get ur 4 star rating? Other than that beautiful location and good food.

Lovely peaceful rural setting

A quiet country inn on the slopes of the Autiniqua mountain range along the Robinson Pass between Mosselbay and Oudtshoorn. They do an opulent ploughmans platter that will take your breath away. My favourite pitstop when I cycle the backroads of the area - coffee, pancakes, cream. Why not replenish the calories lost going up the mountain?

It is beautiful. The food is excellent and the staff are very helpful and friendly. There is so much to do, you dont want to leave the place for a minute. I will go back there as often as I can

Brilliant place. Great scenery. I believe the food is good to. U fortunately no vegan food on menu☹️

Fantastic food and efficient friendly service 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

A lovely place. Kids playground isnt adequately shaded. Food isnt bad and well priced. Friendly staff too!

Absolutely breathtaking view and excellent service the food was also very nice

Very nice place

We did the trail and it was tuff but beautiful. The menu is great.

Our stay here was a lovely weekend away from the craziness of the busy working world.With plenty to do and enough trail to keep the moutain bike or running enthusiast busy, you wont get bored. If relaxing is your thing, the lounge is very cozy with a snooker table nearby.The food is delicious and plenty to go around during the day. Definitely worth checking out.

We visited for breakfast and was impressed with the food, service and cleanliness of the hotel. Picturesque grounds are well kept with lots of activities for guests. Has an old-fashioned stately but comfortable atmosphere. Will visit again.

Excellent view.

A quick stop for coffee and cheese cake on our way to George.A great venue.

Really enjoyed this place many times in my past but my last visit war terrible. 30 min wait just to be helped, waitress was rarely seen and food wasnt up to scratch😔

Lovely setting and surroundings near Knysna. Simple food but delicious. Excellent family feel to venue. Staff are amazing

A beautiful setting on Robertsons Pass near Mossel Bay. Delicious teatime break. Friendly, helpful service. Looks like a lovely place to sleep over.

Everything about this place will make you want to go back. Just fantastic! Great for kids, donkey cart ride and pony rides were brilliant. Food also excellent as was service.
