Dana Bay, a conservancy set within Mossel Bay, is a beautiful little beachside village where residents have the pleasure of being able to see a variety of free-roaming animals such as bushbuck, mongoose, tortoise, guineafowl and Cape spurfowl visiting their gardens. With most homes having a spectacular view of the ocean, you won't be surprised that Bryde's whales, southern right whales and humpback whales are spotted quite often.
A brief history of the area
According to archaeological findings that date back almost 175,000 years, the Khoisan people once called the Dana Bay area home before its existence as farmland for grazing livestock in 1821 began. In 1972, the land was bought to create a retirement village that only provided two thousand plots for its future residents. Conservation status was given to Dana Bay on 27 May 1998, after a group of nature enthusiasts forwarded the application in 1992.
