Rental in Mossel Bay
Mossel Bay marks the western edge of the Garden Route — the Point, Pinnacle Point, the Dias Museum — and it's only 35 minutes from George Airport, making it an easy half-day loop or the start of a longer coastal run.

Mossel Bay sits west of George along the N2, on the opposite side of the airport from Wilderness and Knysna — which means it's often paired with a run out toward Cape Town, or done as a standalone half-day trip. The coastal road along the Point has some of the best sea views on this stretch of coast, and it's a quieter, faster drive than the more forested sections further east.
The Point itself is where Bartolomeu Dias first landed in 1488 — the Dias Museum Complex covers that history, while the tidal pool and Santos Beach nearby are popular for a swim. Pinnacle Point, just outside town, is known for its golf course and dramatic cliffside views, and the town's harbour still runs a working fishing fleet alongside the tourist strip. It's a shorter drive than our other Garden Route routes, which makes it a good option if you're tight on time but still want proper convertible weather.
