A mountain escape
Where the Garden Route meets the Klein Karoo
Starting out as a holiday farm more than 80 years ago, Eight Bells Mountain Inn is now a full-service four-star hotel on a 400-acre estate in the Ruiterbos Valley, at the foot of the Robinson Pass on the R328 — between Mossel Bay (35km) and Oudtshoorn (50km). We are renowned for friendly hospitality, superb service and a range of recreational facilities amidst magnificent mountain scenery.
