Pinnacle Point Beach & Golf Resort, Mossel Bay

About This Property

Pinnacle Point Beach & Golf Resort is a luxury golf and coastal lifestyle estate in Mossel Bay, spectacularly positioned on cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean. It is approximately 6 km from central Mossel Bay and around 30 minutes from George Airport, making it a convenient stop on the Garden Route.

The estate’s biggest attraction is its 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Peter Matkovich with Darren Clarke. The course follows the natural contours of the clifftop landscape and has dramatic ocean views, with seven holes running along the cliffs and four played directly over ocean and cliff terrain. It has received numerous international accolades, including being named South Africa’s Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards.

Accommodation at Pinnacle Point is primarily private villas, apartments and golf penthouses, rather than a conventional hotel. These properties are particularly suited to families, couples and groups wanting more space and self-catering facilities. Some have expansive terraces and spectacular 180-degree Indian Ocean views.

The estate offers considerably more than golf. There are two secluded private beaches, Eden Bay and Oyster Bay, as well as walking trails through the private nature reserve. The coastal section of the St Blaize Trail passes through the area, with a 6 km coastal walk towards Mossel Bay.

Wellness facilities include a professionally managed spa and wellness center, fitness center and swimming pool. Tennis courts and children's facilities are also available, including a Kids Club and modern playgrounds, making the estate suitable for families.

Dining is centered around the Cliffside Restaurant and bar, positioned at the clubhouse with panoramic ocean views. It is a particularly attractive setting for lunch, dinner or sun downers after a round of golf.

Another interesting feature is the Pinnacle Point Caves, an internationally important archaeological site on the estate. The caves preserve evidence of Middle Stone Age human occupation dating back tens of thousands of years and form an important part of the area's cultural heritage.

For a Garden Route itinerary, Pinnacle Point works especially well for golfers, families and travelers wanting a spacious coastal resort with self-catering accommodation. Its combination of dramatic ocean scenery, golf, beaches, nature trails, wellness facilities and proximity to Mossel Bay makes it a very versatile stop between Cape Town and the Garden Route.
