Weekly blog posts from the owners desk, by Mosswood Bed and Breakfast

This is our first taste of delivering you the sights, sounds, inspirations and photoshoots of our live in

the magnificent Eastern Mpumalanga. This region is renowned for its natural scenic beauty and

historical value to all who have a hand in its wonderful journeys, trails and legends.

Let’s begin with the actual property of Mosswood B&B. It started life on the very edge of the village

of Graskop as the ugliest house known to man, approximately 50 years ago. The original walls of the

house are still intact and have lent themselves to a magnificent overhaul and renovation. The

current property houses four very spacious and luxury-oriented suites, all with adjoining 2 person

showers, double vanity and enclosed WC. It has been constructed to allow another 4 suites to be

added on at a later stage.


I am the current owner of the Bed & Breakfast, and take immense pleasure in telling the world, that

the design, in its entirety, was done by my son David. This young man’s vision and attention to detail

is of an incredibly talented draughtsman, although he has no qualification, nor previous experience,

in this field. Had C.1.9. not bowled the world upside down, the original would have been completed,

but now remains to be manifested in its full glory, so watch this space

Alongside him, is Jo-anne, his fiancé and the interior designer of the property. Hats off to a young

lady who is the research fundi of the world, and who put together the MOST insanely contemporary

design aesthetic. When I started the breakfast on the property in December 2021, I walked into a

pink kitchen. (For those who are redecorating, it’s the most serene color to work in). The

compliments received over the past 4 years are of the same caliber – some of the best rooms people

have spent a night in. This is not because of any madly expensive anything, but due to the calming

therapy of the color schemes, the attention to every detail you would need, and the super

comfortable beds.


The housekeeping staff, Jane and Betty, are indispensable to the running of Mosswood and each

have brought their own strengths to the party…Betty with her ability to make the best pancakes

(pannekoek, crepe) in the world, and Jane who makes bacon stand up and sing! Together we have

learned from each other, stood tall in the highs, cried in the lows and continued to offer a wonderful

experience to guests spending time with us.

We hope to welcome Y.O.U. soon!
