It is more of an overpriced back packer accommodation, and did not have the facilities to warrant the price we paid. We did have a single room, but the toilet was open next to the bed, and this was very uncomfortable. There was a small kitchen which did not offer us any beverages and was overcrowded and very noisy. Our window opened out into the office.

We stayed 5 minutes and booked somewhere else. We expected budget with the price but this was something else. The whole place was dirty, the toilet in the room stank (toilet in the room with nothing round it eg door/walls or even the curtain that was in the pictures) not too sure I want to be looking the mrs in the eyes whilst she’s laying a log

Was greeted by friendly staff and received a clean and neat room. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were all decent and clean. Had no issues with security, and all the other residents/people at the backpacker were very welcoming. Overall a great place to stay, and well located. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for affordable and safe accommodation in Mosselbay.

Was a pleasant stay. The sheets were clean. the communal bathroom was ok. The communal kitchen was ok and there was a pub with pool table across the road. All in all good value. Is a busy street, but had a decent nights rest.

My stay at Shark Shack was great, would definitely recommend if you’re travellers looking for somewhere to stay that is a great price and central to loads of fun things to do! Willem was great and super knowledgeable, he showed us round the areas and pointed out the best places. Was a great stay, thank you. :)

We spent a week at Shark Shack in Dec 2021. And had a blast the manager and owner were both very friendly and hospitable and made our stay extra special. There was enough privacy to do our own thing but we were always welcomed with open arms to evening braais and a quick dop on the stoep. Facilities clean and the back packers is in the absolute perfect spot to gain quick access to beaches, restaurants, and awesome fishing spots by foot.

Mosselbay has so many activities - shark cage diving, zip lining over the ocean, surfing… we got stuck in straight away thanks to Arthur (Owner). This backpackers has a community of its own, we all had a brai together and socialised all evening. The bedroom dorms are basic but what more do you need? Will definitely be back!
