Hi Taylor
I don’t have a broom etc for guests because they’re supposed to relax. My housekeeper is happy to clean. I do replace the lightbulbs regularly, but I guess it’s time. I’m glad you had a good stay.

Our visit was fantastic.
We had a very nice stay, it was only very short. The place was very neatly furnished and we lacked nothing, because the cottage had all the tools we needed, and the cottage was central. We could have seen many sights. We really enjoyed relaxing and letting off steam. We would really recommend Betty's Retreat to anyone.

The break was much needed and we really enjoyed it.
The place was easy to find. Parking is not very safe although we were made aware of it in the advertisement. The view was breathtaking, the bougainvillea in the street provided action. My wife and I really enjoyed the break from our daily life, the view of the mountain is as advertised (breathtaking), on a next visit we will also visit the town's features. Lubna was neat, clean and everything as we expected.

Cute, peaceful place, in nature.
Very nice place, I do feel that there are a few things that can be peeked at, and I'm sure the owner is not aware of it, because they don't live in the house themselves. If you look at photos on the website, you are not aware of the main road that passes right by the house, because the bushes hide it in the photo. They may have to mention that there is a main road passing by and there is vehicle noise from early morning until late at night. But quiet at night. Because when you see the pictures you think you are in the mountain and far away from noise. The shower could perhaps put a door on it instead of put a curtain or something there that prevents the water from running everywhere while you shower. It ends up that lots of towels have to be thrown to dry up water. The tiles in the shower are loose, so if you step on them they lift up a bit and you can cut your foot. And not sure how much water gets into floor if tiles are so loose? Long-term damage? Toilet smell is not pleasant at all. I understand that sometimes houses are empty for a while, but maybe they should check if the toilet is properly "mounted" in the ground? Is the owner aware that their refrigerator's freezer drawer is broken? Not all the lights' bulbs work, maybe just take a look and replace. Plus point is that they might think of putting a mirror in the room for if a woman wants to blow dry her hair etc. that there is a mirror in which she can look. Other than that we had a peaceful time and really enjoyed it. Owner is friendly and accommodating.

Quiet area. Not walking distance from the beach, needs to drive quite a distance.
Betty's Retreat 's response
The beach is 2km from the cottage. There is a huge lake across the road; the access jetty is less than 1km away. People swim and paddle in the lake. There are plenty of hiking trails close by. There is a Botanical Garden and a Penguin colony close by. No cars have ever been broken into. The armed response is excellent. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay.

No TV, no WiFi and that suited me fine. Sometimes you just need to switch off from all the technology. I could sit and admire the most beautiful storm while sitting on the porch and writing. What a nice, peaceful weekend. The place is neat and very well equipped. Will definitely go again.

Neat little house
Very cute and neat house. Perfect as a base for exploring the area. However, if you want to go for peace and quiet and a nice barbecue, this might not be the best place/option. The house is unfortunately right on top of the main road and the road is very busy and the cars fly by at 100km/h plus from early morning to late evening. Due to the risk of fire, the braai is located in a booth at the corner of the yard. A bit of a lonely experience for keen barbecuers. The cottage has a beautiful view of the mountain and there is a stream that flows under the cottage.
