Memento Vivere is located in the beautiful coastal town of Mossel Bay in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. We offer charming accommodation options with sea views. The relaxing stay is ideal for business travelers, couples, a small family and friends. Stay in one of two rooms: 1.

There is also a shared splash pool and both units have outdoor seating with views of the sea. Close to restaurants, beaches and popular attractions.
I am passionate about nature, the outdoors and hiking. I am available as a guide for hiking the St Blaize trail or in the Knysna forest as I love sharing this beautiful experience with guests. When the weather isn't ideal for hiking or the beach, I invite guests to spend creative time in my studio where I do pottery and mosaic. I also enjoy spending time in my garden where I grow some vegetables. I have a small dog living with me, she is my shadow. Having guests over is something I cherish, and I look forward to welcoming you to my home.
Memento Vivere, is on the hillside of Mossel Bay, offering a stunning north-facing view over the ocean and harbor.
