Dana Bay is located 10km outside Mossel Bay. We are a laid back seaside community tucked away amongst rolling fynbos covered hills, with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and endless stretches of near deserted beaches. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and unwind in this beautiful nature conservation area, where you can listen to the sweet song of the Cape Robin, see graceful buck graze outside the garden, watch the antics of the Guinea Fowl that roam around freely, or watch the Whales and Dolphins playing in the ocean.

The beautiful dune covered beach is a 10 minute walk from the Guest House. No matter what your interests may be - golfing, game & ocean safaris, a hike along the famous "Oyster Catcher Trail", mountain biking, Bungee Jumping, scuba or cage diving, horse riding - Richlyn's Guest House is conveniently located near to all these, and many more activities and attractions that have made the Garden Route such a desirable holiday destination.

The Guest House has three beautifully appointed rooms all with private bathrooms and sea views. All rooms have tea/coffee facilities. Clock radios. Hairdryers & International adaptors available on request.
