The closest wine wine estate to Mossel Bay, they don't grow their own, but rather source the juice and ferment it on site. The venue has a comedy club called the Barn Theater, an extensive bar area and a restaurant with outdoor seating. They serve typical portuguese bar food like Rissole's, Prego steak rolls and Feijaoda.

Delfinos has been around for years, it has one of the best locations in Mossel Bay and is rather popular, in saying that, like most touristy places, this can be hit and miss sometimes. Expect to experience poor service and poor quality of food.

Most people start their hike from Point Lighthouse and never really complete the 16km hike to Pinnacle Point. Do go from the other side which is at Pinnacle Point Golf Estate for amazing views of rugged coastlines and ocean views for days.
