Mosselbay Waterfront Accomodation
Check in was a little confusing as the property number was not listed on the gate and there was no clear instructions to ring the ring camera to open the gate. Otherwise check in was great

Plett Quarter Apartments
The unit itself was very nice. Much farther from the beach than the picture show. It's also on the main street which is busy. Lots of street noise in late into the night.
