Response from VrboOwner on 1 Nov 2025
Hi, I’m the owner of the property, sorry to hear you feel this way.
This has been our family home for the best part of 30 years and this is one of the safest areas in Mosselbay.
The gates are never left open, your host that stays at the back of the property has dogs living with her and always makes sure it’s closed.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in South Africa.
