Accommodation in Somerset West for Cape Epic mountain bike riders


5th May 2008, Mooring House again provided accommodation to 5 Cape Epic Mountain Bikers, (and their families) after the off track race from Knysna which finishined at Lourensford Estate in Somerset West. Mooring House Guest House is roughly 6 minutes away from the entrance to the Lourensford Estate and provides tasteful accommodation and tranquility mixed with smiling hospitality - a much needed therepy after the grueling and tiresom race. Although the weather conditions during the first 2 days were hot, the final day was a lot cooler and the competitors seemed to arrive at the Guest House later than the previous year - last year they were all lounging by the pool. This year when they left the guest house around 8am, the heavens opened and water cascaded from above and bikes were being loaded on vehicles in the pouring rain.

A nice thing about the guest house is that there is adequate on-site parking for vehicles, bikes and trailers and the rooms are spacious so equipment (bikes) can be taken into the room for safe keeping and there is still more than enough space to enjoy relaxing accommodation.

Email Feedback received from Kevin Record - Cape Epic Mountain Biker 2008
"Just a quick note to thank you for making our very brief stay such a nice and pleasant one."
