Why Self-Catering Holidays Are So Popular
2 min read
Self-catering is the way to go! At De Bakke Santos we offer the perfect peaceful getaway, with all the benefits of self-catering.

The Benefit of Choice
A big advantage to self-catering accommodation is the ability to stick to your own routine and time schedule, particularly when it comes to mealtimes. There is no rush to make it to the breakfast room in the mornings, and the choice of eating at restaurants or cooking for yourself is up to you! This is particularly beneficial for families, as adults and children may have different eating times. Or perhaps you would like an early dinner and an early night, or alternatively a late-night dinner with friends. At our beach resort you have the benefit of choice with our braai facilities and fully equipped kitchens in the chalets. If you are camping, remember to bring your own braai!
Fit to Budget
Self-catering allows for choosing an accommodation that fits your budget and is one of the cheapest options when travelling. De Bakke Santos offers affordable, comfortable chalets a minute away from the beach, or a campsite overlooking the ocean.

Adaptable to Group Size
With bigger group sizes, self-catering is usually the cheaper accommodation option. Whether you are travelling with the whole family, a group of friends, or colleagues, why not share a chalet and save? We have accommodation available for two to six people, or book camping plots next to each other!
More Space
Spending a lot of time together often results in the need for some space and alone-time. We understand that which is why we have communal spaces, like the kitchen and lounge, but also private bedrooms. Alternatively, go for a walk on the beach to clear your head or head into Mossel Bay centre for a cup of coffee.

Privacy
To some travellers, privacy is a requirement. That’s why our chalets each have their own kitchens, dining table, and sitting room. No sharing is required with people outside of your group. Your space is completely yours.
Experience Life as a Local
Staying at De Bakke Santos gives you direct access to two beaches that are loved by locals as well as guests. Further, accessing the local restaurants, nightlife joints, and stores is easy and never far! You’ll immediately feel like a Mossel Bay resident – welcome and at home. Feel free to ask our friendly staff for their recommendations and tips.
Self-catering is the ultimate holiday of freedom and independence. Have the necessary home comforts nearby, alongside privacy, space, and choice, while still feeling like you are on holiday. Take it easy and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of De Bakke Santos. We are looking forward to having you with us!
