The Santos Express Train Lodge situated on the Santos Beach in Mossel Bay is one of the most eccentric places to stay. This genuine train offers great sea views from all its cabins. An invigorating sea breeze keeps everything cool, even on really hot days. We offer you a unique stay in a double compartment or single coupé similar to the Trans Karoo.

We have 7 coaches, of which 4 are identical, with 5 compartments sleeping between 2-4 guests, 2 coupe’s sleeping between 1-2 guests, 2 toilets and 1 shower. The fifth coach is divided into 3 Caboose - an en-suite room with a balcony. Coaches 6 and 7 are our vintage Royal Ladies, 2 suites in every coach with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, amenities included, and balconies with outside furniture overlooking the beautiful Munro Bay.

Double- and single rates include a free continental breakfast. Royal suites include the light breakfast, as well as a complimentary upgrade to an additional hot English breakfast. We can accommodate a maximum of 122 persons and we have special rates for groups of 30 persons and more during our low season. Menus can be customized to suit your budget and requirements.

Our happening restaurant and bar serves breakfast all day, and other delicious meals such as steaks, seafood and our most famous traditional meals; these can be served inside or on the sun deck. The restaurant is open from 7:30 am.

Our staff can assist with all travel- and adventure arrangements such as shark cage diving, boat-based whale watching, sky diving, game drives, quad biking, deep-sea fishing, pleasure boat trips to Seal Island etc.

We are a 5-10 minute walk from the Dias museum complex, harbour and town centre.

"Home away from home."

The beautiful accommodation is really great value for money and the complimentary breakfast is great and include: 2 kinds of Fresh juices / 3 kinds of cereal / Toast: white and brown bread / 3 kinds of Jam / real butter / Coffee and tea / hot and cold milk / fresh fruit - if you have traveled before, you will know that just the breakfast is a great bargain! You can also order warm breakfast at your own cost, which is still great value for money. Their Grilled fish is Superb by the way! The compartments are meticulously cleaned, neat, presentable and fresh linens are put on every time a visitor leaves. We know, because we stayed for 5 days and got into the routines of everyone around us. The shower is huge and fitted with warm and cold water. The toilets are kept squeaky clean and toilet paper is never something that is amiss when you need to go. The staff is super helpful and friendly, not only from desk, also the fabulous crew from Fork 'n Train, the on site restaurant and bar. Visitors have free WiFi in the restaurant and bar area, not the train compartments and everyone stops to chat and check in with you. This is South Africa at it's most precious. A warm "Good morning, how are you" is reciprocated and when you stop long enough to ask about the town, people have the most amazing stories to tell. A writer's little haven. You literally look down onto the sandy white beach, it feels like a tropical island, especially when your cocktail hits the light just right.
