Dining table for family gatherings in the Main Villa

Home/Stay/Groups & families

Group and family accommodation in Mossel Bay

For the right group, Villa Palmera becomes a private estate. The Main Villa takes ten under one roof; add the three cottages and the whole property sleeps sixteen, with the pool, garden, gazebo and braai to yourselves.

Who books the whole villa

  • Three-generation family holidays: grandparents in the cottages, children and teenagers in the villa and the loft
  • Friends celebrating a birthday, with the gazebo for the long dinner
  • Small retreats and workshops - the villa has hosted writing, art and wellness retreats
  • Wedding parties looking for a base near Mossel Bay venues
  • Golf groups playing Mossel Bay Golf Club and Pinnacle Point

How the space works

The Main Villa has three bedrooms downstairs, a shared bathroom with a bath, an open-plan lounge and dining room, and a loft with its own bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom - ideal for teenagers or a couple who want their own floor. The cottages each sleep two with private entrances, so late risers and early sleepers stay out of each other's way.

What we can arrange

Catered dinners in the gazebo, a private chef for a braai evening, a sunset boat trip for the whole group, wine tasting, and transfers from George Airport. Tell us what the occasion is and we will build the weekend around it.
