"We really enjoyed our stay at Santos Express. We had a late check in. We asked them where we could get coffee from that time of the night and the staff went above and beyond, switching on the coffee machine to give us coffee and tea for my daughter nothing was too much for them. They also sorted out our room and made sure we were happy and comfortable. Breakfast on the deck was just as enjoyable. Once again anything asked for was no effort at all. The staff at Santos Express are friendly and really go out of their way to ensure all guests are happy. Thank you Santos staff"

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and it was so soothing to fall asleep to the sound of the waves and breathtaking to wake up to the incredible beach and ocean views. A very worthwhile stay!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Santos Express Train Lodge. People were very friendly and accommodation was very comfortable and clean. Loved the beautiful view of the beach. "

"It was a great experience for my child - who had never been in a train. She enjoyed it so much. The fact that the train was near the sea and she could play on the sand was extra bonus. Compartment was neat and clean as was the toilet and shower facilities.

"I really enjoyed my stay at Santos Train.
The staff is kind and efficient, the rooms / compartment and shared facilities are clean, and the view from your window, just amazing.
Will definitely do it again when I come back to Mossel Bay !"

"My stay at Santos was lovely as for my first time to enjoy the experience of being in a train overnight.
"

"Could give the handyman a can of Q20 to lubricate window and shutter slides."

"Loved the stay....So close to the beach. Excellent restaurant on the premises. "

"17/12/2017.
We had a wonderful time. Place was clean and the staff were wonderful. Pity the weather did not play along but we still had a wonderful time.
Andy and Theresa"

"Was such a nice experience oh the view of the sea when waking up in the morning, sooo clean for the value you pay and take you for the breakfast "

"We loved the view from our balcony and room. Maybe a small gas barbeque will add to this amazing experience."

"The only problem I had was that my full deposit, as paid to SafariNow, was not submitted to the Santos Express office and at first they expected me to pay in which would have meant that I had to pay and extra R122.50. Could you please explain that."

"Amazing location and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning again!"

"Having the Fork&Restaurant attached to the train - very convenient. The staff very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again"

"It was a great experience for our daughter who has never stayed on a train. Situated in a great spot. Enjoyed our 2 night stay over on our way to Gordons bay. The staff was great and very helpful. Enjoyed the restaurant and had plenty of cold beers."

"We stay there whenever we pass through Mosselbay and have no reason to change our minds. Upgraded security a great comfort."

"Well priced, very reasonable stay. Staff friendly and very accommodating. Stunning view for the price you pay. Well worth a visit."

"What an amazing stay. First off, our bedroom had the most spectacular view of the ocean. The room was extremely clean and neat and the beds very comfy.

I loved that it was a train- felt like being a kid again on a great adventure!

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary weekend at the Santos Express. The Royal Suite facing the beach was such bliss ... beautiful views, tranquil sound of the waves ... most relaxing. The accommodation was comfortable and cosy. Loved having our own little patio to braai and watch the sun go down over the ocean. Friendly staff, great location and value for money. A lovely getaway - will definitely return :)"

The only negative for me was the breakfast, cereal and toast was what was on offer. If you wanted anything else you had to pay for it. Just think that if you stay in the Royal Suite that perhaps they should look at including a proper breakfast as part of the package.
"

"Perfect The experience is highly commendable, very friendly staff and clean facilities."

We did not realize that we would not have towels for the shower - as travelers, we did not carry these with us. The beds were not very comfortable, but we slept very warm. You are, unfortunately, able to hear almost everything in the compartments next to you. The light breakfast was perfect, and the staff were extremely friendly. It was an affordable overnight stay which was pleasant. "

"We recently spent a wonderful 7 night stay at Santos Express. We had the time of our lives! The people were friendly, the beach was on our doorstep and everything was just great! I would highly recommend anyone to experience a stay in the train and we look forward to our next visit."

"A very pleasant stay, closer to the beach you cant sleep...will stay here again. Good Value for your money. "

"Our family loved this little diamond in the rough. Yes, the facilities are basic, but the pictures advertised are a true reflection of what they offer. If your family is looking for something a little different, I would definitely recommend them. The kids will love it! Not to forget, the train is ri..."

"I think your doors should be greased as it makes a noice when opening it and is very desturbing."

"Great position. All rooms have sea views. beach right in front of you. Room clean and beds are comfy.

Only negative is that you are staying in a train coach, so it is small, but there is more than enough to do in the area so you only need the room to sleep in.

Nice and clean and the staff friendly. Tip: If you are in the mood for cocktails, pop around to the Legendary Blue Oyster Bar (on the other side of the museum). They have yummy sushi and amazing cocktails. Great spot to chill."

"The place is unique, the setting beautiful. "

"Most friendly and helpful reception. Accommodation very clean and the value for money unbelievable. Walks on the beach.

"Pleasant overnight stay. Comfortble clean beds and very friendly and helpul service. Beautiful view, and lapping of waves is a lullaby. Location is good. Longing for an old fashioned train compartment with happy memories?? this is the place! Very affordable. "

"The experience is out of this world, heaven on earth. We stayed in a Royal Suite and it was on point, spacious and comfy. Secure parking and wait for it - breakfast was good! Soothing sound of waves 24/7, more refreshing at night. Would surely come back."

"What a great place to stay. Friendly staff, clean. Great food. Beautiful beach. I'm going back for sure!!"

"What a wonderful experience to sleep on the Santos Express Train Lodge. The train is a real old train that has been kept spick & span and is situated just a grass verge from the beach. The views from the rooms are spectacular. Extra blankets were provided and the bedding crisp and clean. The reception Is open 24/7 with friendly and helpful staff. We had two 'rooms' containing 2 single beds. Although there is no cupboards, there is plenty of packing space and hooks to hang things on. The beds are cozy which tall folk will find uncomfortable. Bring towels to use for showering."

"I had a really nice experience staying on a train for a few days. The staff was friendly, they gave great service. It was clean and what I expected. I enjoyed myself."

The walls were all wooden paneled, the light switches were those real little toggle switches and the sink folds out of the wall. Very authentic.

The train is within walking distance of the Dias museum complex and several nice restaurants. It was lovely."

"The Train Lodge was a great choice for an overnight stay. I had no problems at all and would definitely go back."

"Very comfortable stay - neat clean and pleasant staff - worth every cent, will stay again."

"My stay was great, no complaints whatsoever. I will highly recommend and definitely re-visit this establishment again if I'm in the Western Cape."

"Our stay in a Royal Suite was a dip back into the time of gracious living and travel. A lovely location on the edge of the ocean with the sound of the waves lapping the shore. Helpful and friendly staff. A lovely and memorable experience."

"Everything about this establishment was really excellent. We felt very comfortable in our room as well."

"Staying at Santos Express was an experience like no other. Although the rooms are not the biggest it gives you the feeling of travelling on a couch train. We spend most of the day exploring surrounding areas or on beach and the location of the Santos Express is ideal. With a beautiful beach at your doorstep that is very safe for children to play and a restaurant with friendly service and excellent food to keep adults entertained. Santos Express is definitely accommodation with a difference!"

"I had a pleasant stay at Santos Express. It was a awesome experience sleeping on a train. It was right by the beach which was very convenient. I recommend them to others. I will make use of the Rooms for Africa website again, it's easy and convenient."

Thumbs up Santos Express!"

Be assured, we will return to check out the "new" carriage.
Thank you for making our long and tiring journey just a little better.
