Santos Express Train Lodge - budget beach accommodation and family restaurant

Description

The Santos Express Train Lodge is a genuine train situated on the Santos Beach in Mossel Bay with all cabins facing the sea. With the ocean so close, you can’t really beat its unbelievable position and exquisite views. An invigorating sea breeze keeps everything cool even on really hot days.

We offer you a unique stay in a double compartment or single coupe similar to the Trans Karoo. We are 5-10 min walk from the Dias Museum Complex, Harbour and Town Centre.

We have 7 coaches, of which 4 are identical, with 5 compartments (2-4 sleeper), 2 coupe’s (1-2 sleeper), 2 toilets and 1 shower. The 5th coach is divided into a 16 bed Dorm with lounge and the Caboose - an on-suite room with balcony. Coaches 6 & 7 are our vintage Royal Ladies, 2 Suites in every coach with 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. We can accommodate a max of 122 pax and have special STO rates for groups of 30 pax and more (Low season). Seasonal rates apply. Menus can be customized to suit your budget and requirements.

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

Our staff is on the ball and can help 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.

Reviews
Stayed here for a weekend in a single room. All of the staff I chatted to were extremely friendly and helpful. They come with a buffet style breakfast in the mornings. They offer toast, cereals, yogurt, fruit and really, really good muffins along with coffee tea and fruit juice. It is also a restaurant so you can just buy something else if healthy breakfasts aren't your vibe. The cheaper rooms don't match the website in terms of view - the trees between the lodge and beach have grown quite a bit and trimming trees is not cheap, never-mind trees on public property. They do help the braai area feel a lot more private at least. The whole train is fenced in - and each compartment has a gate just that you open with your gate remote. Additionally, security guards aren't uncommon to see in the area. The rooms also come with physical latches. If you stay in a room without an en-suite bathroom - the lodge doesn't provide towels so make sure to pack another along with your beach towel. The bathrooms are clean but as it's a communal use area, I'd recommend wearing flip flops in the shower. Staying in a train on the beachfront is definitely an awesome experience and something I would recommend trying at least once.
We stayed the luxury class carriages which comes with it's own individual viewing deck to relax on and enjoy the view. The feeling of the setting was like stepping in a Victorian era time machine. The carriage itself is obviously quite old but that, in my opinion, only adds to the authentic feel of a bygone era. Our package included safe secure parking as well as a delicious breakfast enjoyed while overlooking the ocean. Paying the extra bit of money for the luxury package was worth it. Rooms: Has the necessary creature comforts and a fantastic view Nearby activities: Plenty to do in the area, from leisure walks, to visiting the local establishments. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. Safety: Safe and secure parking, security is visible Food & drinks: Highly recommend
I spent two nights in this place and the staff were so nice, kind and helpful! Loved the view from the room. Generally speaking the place has the best views overlooking the ocean and some mountains. Recommended!Rooms: 5/5
Reception: Helpful and friendly Room: Clean but very basic. Beautiful view. Stuffy, no windows opened and most windows could not open. No interior decoration No hand towels. Were not able to connect to the wi-fi whilst in the room. Not 4 star and overpriced in my opinion our room at least. Restaurant: Basic menu options, menu looks like a flip file full of notes and colourful flyers. “Cold” atmosphere. Fake flowers and plants - no theme, no colour scheme, nothing special. Wanted to order sushi, chef not available and waiter did not know. Interior can really be improved. Calamari starter and service was good. Wanted to have dinner but restaurant closed earlier than regular “because it was quiet”. Were charged for breakfast which was supposed to be included in the rate we paid. Good experience train effect, but will not return in a hurry.
Will give it a 4.5 stars. Always room for improvement. Would like to see more variety on menu for non-fish lovers at affordable prices. Otherwise one of the best stays of our lives. Beautiful staff, so friendly. Very neat rooms with comfortable beds. Love it Rooms: Very neat with fantastic views Nearby activities: Lots and lots of nearby activities, shops and sightseeings.
Going to sleep with the ocean waves in the background on a train . I think that counts as a unique experience. The Royal Suites are worth the price and privacy. The access to the beach that is a few metres from your doorstep is a plus. The restaurant and the food were good with generous portions on offer. A great choice for those looking for something different.
Being right on the beach was lovely, however being an old train car the rooms were rather narrow but that's to be expected. Breakfast could have been better, however it was overall a rather nice stop over. Nearby activities: The beach was a stones throw from the balcony, and only a 5 minute walk around the train
Absolutely love the location. The beds in the rooms is comfortable. There is a washing basin under the table, but it is very difficult to use. Please consider a washing basin in the bathroom where you shower. The staff is very helpful and friendly Walkability: Near to beach and restaurant. Food & drinks: It will be nice if there was a vending machine to buy sweets and so on
We were a group of 12 at the restaurant a week ago. The service was absolutely non existing!!! We had to get our own drinks at the bar after being there for 20 minutes. We had to call for the manageress to be able to order food. The service was extremely poor.Service: 1/5
So good. Stayed in Caboose. Service excellent. Thank you Stacy-Lee , Kim and Jadin. Your love and hospitality made it extra special. We will be back again.Rooms: 5/5
