Lovely, cozy, too short.

It was absolutely fabulous! It exceeded our expectations; the tiny attention to detail really made all the difference. The place was beautiful; pictures don't do it justice. Such a peaceful environment to recharge and reconnect with loved ones. I would recommend this to everyone looking for a getaway from the city. The check-in process was smooth, and the owner was always helpful. I was so sad when it was time to leave. We will definitely be back. All you need to bring is food and clothes; everything is sorted and provided by the owner, even having books and board games available. It was lovely! And I can't wait to be back.

Very rejuvenating and relaxing. Beautiful scenery.

Maybe just have a look at replacing light bulbs, some fused, especially the bathrooms and the living room, next to the fridge, making it difficult to see where one is cooking, as the shelf light does not shine directly on the countertop. And the outside light is a disco ball lol. A broom and mop were also desperately needed for cleaning up after ourselves, the mould is also quite visible in the window stalls and I was a bit disappointed about the missing fairy lights, as advertised. There was one face towel in the bathroom that had a foul smell and we ended up storing it under the basin. Other than that, everything else was conveniently accessible and we still had a lovely stay. The extra towels were a bonus. I'll definitely be back. Thanks!

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.

Ons kuiertjie was fantasties.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, dit was net baie kort. Die plekkie was baie netjies ingerig en ons het niks kortgekom nie, want die cottage het alle gereedskap wat ons nodig gehad het, gehad, en die cottage was sentraal. Ons kon vele besienswaardighede gesien het. Ons het regtig lekker ontspan en stoom afgeblaas. Ons sal regtig Betty's Retreat vir enigeen aanbeveel.

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.

Die breek was baie nodig en ons het dit baie geniet.

Die plek was maklik om te vind. Parkering is nie baie veilig nie alhoewel ons bewus daarvan gemaak was in die advertensie. Die uitsig was asemrowend, die bobejaan in die straat het gesorg vir aksie. Ek en my vrou het die breek van ons daaglikse lewe baie geniet, die view van die berg is soos in advertensie (asemrowend), met 'n volgende besoek sal ons die dorp se kenmerke ook besoek. Lubna was netjies, skoon en alles soos ons verwag het.

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.

It was a very pleasant stay.

The only two worries were the parking which is just off the suburb road and the braai which is at the back of the cottage and the two cottages braai side by side thus no privacy when braaing. Other than those two points it was wonderful.

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.

Not much to do in the area. No secure parking or security gates.

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.

What you need for a weekend away.

Betty's Retreat has all the amenities for a weekend away. You only have to pack your food and clothes. The cars driving pass on Clarence Drive was very noisy at times, but all the houses in Betty's Bay close to that road will experience the same sound level. Cute outside deck looking out onto the mountains enjoying your morning coffee.

My verloofde het my verras met 'n wegbreek na Betty's Retreat. Dit was nou net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Geen TV, geen WiFi en dit het my goed gepas. Soms moet 'n mens net bietjie afskakel van al die tegnologie. Ek kon die mooiste storm sit en bewonder terwyl ek op die stoep sit en skryf. Wat 'n lekker, rustige naweek. Die plek is netjies en baie goed toegerus. Sal beslis weer gaan.

My fiancé surprised me with a getaway to Betty's Retreat. It was just what we needed.

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.

Magical beyond our expectations.

Tranquillity waking up facing the majestic mountain side, surrounded by luscious vegetation with natural running water and the chirping of various bird species. We were greeted by a few toads sitting on the banks of the riverlet running under the cottage. A real piece of heaven on earth. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for a memorable and blessed experience.

This place was just perfect.

Betty's retreat is perfect for a relaxing couples weekend. The view is beautiful and there is a lot to do in the area. We went on a waterfall hike and visited the penguin. You will definitely see me again.

Netjiese huisie

Baie oulike en netjiese huisie. Perfek as 'n basis vir die area verken. As jy egter wil gaan vir rus-en- stilte en lekker braai, is dit dalk nie die beste plek/opsie nie. Die huisie is ongelukkig reg bo-op die hoofweg en die pad is baie besig en die motors vlieg van vroegoggend tot laataand teen 'n 100km/h plus verby. Weens brandgevaar is die braai geleë in 'n hokkie op die hoek van die erf. 'n Bietjie van 'n eensame ervaring vir kranige braaiers. Die huisie het 'n pragtige uitsig van die berg en daar is 'n stroompie wat onder die huisie deur vloei.

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.

Hi Niel, the braai area has been upgraded. There’s a braai pit with benches on either side. Please visit again and perhaps stay in the other cottage; it’s quieter.

Betty's Retreat was 'n oulik plekkie. Daar was alles wat mens makeer. Net die aankomende verkeer was 'n steuring. Was baie lawaaierig.

It would be deadly silent if there wasn’t the occasional sound of a car passing by. I quite like the sound of cars occasionally driving past.

Quiet getaway.

The cottage was beautiful and the view stunning. The geyser's water was not as hot as I expected, but it is hot enough to have a relaxing shower. The grounds has a line to hang your washing which is great after a day at the beach, plus I was pleased to see pegs in the cupboard. The kitchen was equipped with pots and pans and all cutlery needed. The breeze is amazing!! Loved the deck chairs and really enjoyed the peace and quiet which really clears your head!

Modern, netjies en gerieflik vir een of twee persone.

Die eienaar het my persoonlik gekontak om seker te maak ek verstaan die aanwysings en het my vriendelik toegelaat om eers later uit te klok.

We were a little concerned for the safety of our vehicle as it was not visible from the bedroom.

Hello. Fortunately there has been no negative incidents, largely thanks to Bolt Security who patrol regularly and are speedily on the scene if ever the alarm goes off. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay.

Surprisingly comfortable - value for money.

We had a specific purpose which meant we only stayed during the evenings. Added to that, the weather was extremely bad. The name came into its own as it allowed us to retreat from tiring days into its warm, sheltered and cozy rooms. Everything well functional and the occasional oddity was quickly addressed.

Very pleasant.

The shower is very slippery - the water in the shower does not flow out and floods the floor. The toaster only heats one side of the bread.

Die eenheid is baie netjies en goed ingerig vir selfsorg.

Iets wat seker nie verhelp kan word nie is die feit dat die eenheid naby aan die verbypad geleë is en dat die verkeer steurend is. Darem klaar dit grotendeels op later in die nag.

The unit is very neat and well equipped for self-catering.

Something that probably cannot be remedied is the fact that the unit is located close to the bypass and that the traffic is disturbing. At least it mostly finishes later in the night.

Ontspannend.

Die natuurskoon, berge en voëls wat in fynbos baljaar laat jou vergeet van die daaglikse gejaag. Regtig 'n plek waar jy batterye kan herlaai. Al waaraan aandag gegee kan word is die geyser se hitte. Sal enige tyd weer gaan.

Relaxing.

The natural beauty, mountains and birds frolicking in fynbos make you forget about the daily rush. Really a place where you can recharge batteries. All that can be paid attention to is the geyser's heat. Would go again anytime.

The place is fantastic. Very upmarket on the inside and good appliances. Security is excellent. I hit the panic button by accident a few times on the remote and they were there in minutes. Really nice place.
