Pragtige mooi en netjiese plekkie presies wat ons wou hê en geadverteer is. Het soos 'n baba geslaap, baie rustig en veilig.

Wonderful!

Quaint and romantic. Oh so quiet with the ocean a constant rumble in the background. We had everything we needed - you don't need to take anything with you other than food and drinks. Safe parking, beautiful artistic touches everywhere. Outdoor braai can be used to make pizzas. Electric blanket and wall heaters made for such a warm and cozy atmosphere, and a drawer full of DVDs was the cherry on top. Private, spotless, just perfect.

Die studio met sy sprokieswereldse karakter, oorspronklike- en praktiese houtwerk, kunstige afwerkings en harmonie met die natuur het ons betower. Dit was ook goed toegerus en het aan al ons behoeftes voorsien. Baie spesiaal. Doen so voort.

Wat 'n heerlike plekkie.

Wat 'n besonderse plekkie om in te bly. Ek is vriendelik ontvang deur my gasvrou, Tannie Annette, en later het Oom Jan ook kom gesels. My motor was vol voorraad en Oom Jan het my motor in die motorhuis geparkeer vir ekstra veiligheid. Ek het heerlik gebly en beurtkrag was glad nie 'n probleem nie. Sal definitief weer daar oornag.

What a lovely place.

What a special place to stay. I was kindly received by my hostess, Aunt Annette, and later Uncle Jan also came to chat. My car was fully stocked and Uncle Jan parked my car in the garage for extra safety. I had a great stay and load shedding was not a problem at all. Will definitely stay there again.

Much thought was put into making the cottage welcoming and comfortable.

We really appreciated the direct communication from the owner, Annette. It was also very thoughtful to have tea/coffee and fresh milk available. Our only criticism is that the mattress was not very comfortable and the actual bed was very squeaky, at the slightest movement. Otherwise, we enjoyed overnighting here.

We were warmly received by Jan and made to feel most welcome. Our host assured us of our safety and explained all the amenities available to us. We loved the character of the place as well as its location. We were treated to coffee, tea, sugar, and milk, which was another pleasant surprise. We weren't affected by load shedding at all as the owner had taken all the necessary precautions. I would recommend this establishment to all my friends and family.

A charming place, very comfortable and well equipped. Well situated, walking distance to the beach.

We had a comfortable and cosy weekend. The kitchen is well equipped (more so then the photographs show). The front patio is sheltered even when it's windy. The hot water takes a long time to run in the taps so we appreciated using the outdoor hot shower. We also felt that the their could be better security on the double doors.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The place itself is comfortable and has all the essentials. Lovely attention to detail. Clean and smelled wonderful upon arrival. The courtyard is the most peaceful spot to relax in - covered in plants, shells and interesting things to look at. We made use of the braai every night and the outdoor shower is heavenly. Long walks around the town, to the beach and the penguin colony up the road which is a must for anyone visiting. We will definitely be back.

Absoluut fantastiese plek, weg van jou huis af. Wanneer jy daar is, voel jy die liefde en die warmte wat jy kry. Jy het jou eie privaatheid, netjies, alles wat jy wil hê weg van jou eie huis af.

I can't stop talking about Sol Y Sombra. I was truly an amazing experience, no-one bothered us, we didn't even know that Tannie and Oom were there. It is private and a best place to find your inner peace and calmness. It was wow and I'd most definitely go back in a heart beat!

Lieflike plekkie, skoon en netjies, alles daar wat 'n mens nodig sal kry.

Die enigste ding wat dalk 'n challenge was is die vrieskasgedeelte van die yskas. Dis 'n bietjie klein, veral as dit warm is. Dan is daar geen plek vir ys, of om vleis vars te hou nie. Nietemin, ons het lekker gekuier, dankie Annette.

The only thing that might have been a challenge is the freezer part of the fridge. It's a bit small, especially when it's hot. Then there is no place for ice, or to keep meat fresh. Nevertheless, we had a great time, thank you Annette.

Dit was vir ons soos 'n liefdesnessie.

Die huisie was goed toegerus met alles wat nodig was. Daar was plek om jou goed neer te sit sowel as 'n bank om op te sit. Die kombuis was klein en knus met 'n tafeltjie vir twee. Die bad op pootjies skep 'n intieme atmosfeer. Die privaat, warm buitestort was baie interessant gemaak in die private tuintjie en heerlik om te gebruik. Die tuin was geskep vir voëls met nessies oral. Ons sal graag weer wil gaan en dan vir meer as een nag. Annette het ons baie welkom laat voel.

It was like a love nest for us.

The cottage was well equipped with everything needed. There was room to put your stuff down as well as a bench to sit on. The kitchen was small and cozy with a small table for two. The bathtub on legs creates an intimate atmosphere. The private hot outdoor shower was very interestingly set in the private garden and lovely to use. The garden was created for birds with nests everywhere. We would love to go again and then for more than one night. Annette made us feel very welcome.

Gerief, gemak en aandag aan detail, maak van hierdie woon-eenheid 'n tuiste.

Die verblyf het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Alles waaraan ons kon dink is voor voorsiening gemaak. Ons het lekker gerus en selfs 'n DVD gekyk ─ iets wat ons nooit tuis doen nie! Die eenheid is baie oulik ingerig en ek hou veral van die kombuisie met die tafeltjie en 2 stoele. Die braai-area was uitlokkend en ek moes myself keer om nie vuur te maak nie. 'n Buitestort met warm water in 'n deurgesnyde wynvat was uniek. Elektriese kombers, muurverwarmer (dit kan koud raak in Betty's Baai), gratis koffie en tee, vars melk, gemaklike stoele, 'n rusbank, vensters wat met hortjies toemaak, 'n gerieflike en outydse mooi badkamer, mooi tapyte op die kleiteëls, kunstige voetpad-blokke en gratis WiFi maak die prentjie volmaak. Dankie, Annette en Jan Vorster, julle sien ons beslis weer. Ns. Vir die senuagtige stedelinge, parkering vir jul voertuig is veilig onder 'n sekuriteitskamera!

Convenience, comfort and attention to detail make this unit a home.

The stay exceeded all our expectations. Everything we could think of was catered for. We had a nice rest and even watched a DVD ─ something we never do at home! The unit is very cutely furnished and I especially like the kitchenette with the little table and 2 chairs. The braai area was provocative and I had to stop myself from making a fire. An outdoor shower with hot water in a cut-through wine barrel was unique. Electric blanket, wall heater (it can get cold in Betty's Bay), free coffee and tea, fresh milk, comfortable chairs, a couch, shuttered windows, a comfortable and old-fashioned beautiful bathroom, beautiful carpets on the clay tiles, artistic footpath blocks and free WiFi complete the picture. Thank you, Annette and Jan Vorster, you will definitely see us again. Nos. For the nervous city dwellers, parking for your vehicle is safe under a security camera!

Fantastic accommodation in a spectacularly beautiful area of the region.

Annette and Jan are great hosts who took every effort to ensure our stay would be one to remember. After mentioning that we were looking forward to visiting the botanical gardens and doing a few of their hiking trails, they went out of their way to source relevant information regarding weather conditions for the duration of our stay which we really appreciated. Will definitely plan another visit when the weather is warmer to take full advantage of the outdoor shower, situated under open skies with minimal light pollution.

A hidden gem. A must-do-again!

This has been a very memorable stay at Sol y Sombre, and is hosted by warm-hearted people, absolutely loved all the small details. This is a perfect place to break away from the busyness of the town-life. Great places to hike and close enough to the ocean. Also very clean and what a homely feel, definitely one of the best I visited so far.

Breathtaking.

With the arrival at Sol y Sombra the experience start. All neatly done and rounded off with shells and plants from the area. The little courtyard you immediately feel at home, almost felt to me I am back on the farm in my parents' home. Walk into the small cottage - what a clean place and smell and the creativity just breathtaking. With all the angling competitions I have attended this year this was the cleanest and most tidy off all the places we stayed at. For a couple or single person to break away it is a must. We will definitely visit again. Annette, thank you for making the stay memorable.

Baie lekker en baie privaat.

Die Studio is was meer as wat ons verwag het. Dit is regtig baie netjies gewees. Alles baie mooi uiteengesit. Die kombuis is baie goed uitgelê met al die nodige benodighede wat mens nodig het. Die badkamer is baie mooi met die ou voetjie bad. Die slaapgerief is baie netjies en mens het uitsig buite toe indien jy so voel om op die bed te lê en uit te kyk. Jy het jou eie klein erfie met sy eie braai en is heeltemal omhein met 'n muur, so jy is heeltemal privaat waar jy is en kan lekker sit en braai in jou ingeboude braai en sit en gesels en kuier sonder dat enige iemand jou pla. Die eienaars is ook privaat en kom meng nie in by jou nie. Dit was regtig 'n baie goeie belewenis en ook baie gesellig gewees. Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir enige paartjie wat wil wegbreek en net rustig en privaat wil wees.

The Studio was more than we expected. It was really very neat. Everything very nicely laid out. The kitchen is very well laid out with all the necessary necessities that one needs. The bathroom is very nice with the old foot bath. The sleeping comfort is very neat and you have a view outside if you feel like lying on the bed and looking out. You have your own little plot with its own braai and is completely fenced with a wall, so you are completely private where you are and can sit and braai in your built-in braai and sit and chat and socialize without anyone bothering you. The owners are also private and do not interfere with you. It was really a very good experience and also very cozy. I would recommend it to any couple looking to get away and just be quiet and private.

Filled with love, fully private.

I have never seen anything as cute and full of love as this humble little abode! We went on a private little getaway (just two of us) and for the price, we were not expecting the amazingness we received! The place itself is something out of a little fairy tale with its own private garden which is decorated to perfection. The inside was larger than what we expected, but cosy nonetheless. The bedroom (entrance room) welcomes you immediately. The bathroom houses the most comfortable free standing bath and is decorated as if from another era (still modern and tasteful) and the little kitchenette has all you need and more. We were welcomed by the owners who went inside to put the wall heaters on for us and took us through the basics and then left us to our own devices and really gave us our privacy. The small touches of love throughout the flatlet were unmissable and everything had been thought of. From bug spray, electric blankets, milk in fridge, DVDs for rainy weather and the owners even dropped off a light they had just bought for us to braai in the evening. We will most definitely be back as soon as we can! Unbelievable!

Een groot heerlikheid!

Dis 'n pragtige plekkie, knus en warm. Van die ontvangs in 'n klein private tuintjie, die miniatuur kombuisie wat alles bied wat jy kan nodig kry in 'n selfhelp, 'n badkamer met 'n heerlike bad en die buitestort was vir my man 'n hoogtepunt. Die gasheer en -vrou is vriendelik en hartlik en maak geensins inbreek op hul gaste se privaatheid. In een van die vorige resensies het 'n gas genoem dat sy nie hou van die teddiebere op die hangkas. As mens mooi soek, sal jy regdeur die vertrekke kry dat bere eintlik die subtiele tema is sonder om oorweldigend te wees. So, die bere kan maar enige tyd bly. Enigste punt wat miskien teen hul kan tel, is die feit dat jou motor nie agter sekuriteit slaap nie. Maar dit het ons geensins gepla - moet net nie enige versoekings in jou motor los nie en met deesdae se sekuriteitstelsel in motors, sal jy elk geval vinnig weet indien daar by jou motor gelol word. So, as jy hou van `n rustige wegbreek weg van die huis, maar sonder die koue kliniese gevoel van 'n hotel, is Sol y Sombra net die plek vir jou en jou maat. Sol y Sombra sien ons beslis weer.

Glorious!

It's a beautiful, cozy and warm place. From the reception in a small private garden, the kitchenette that offers everything you could need in a self-catering unit, to a bathroom with a lovely bath and an outside shower which was a highlight for my husband. The host and his wife are friendly and cordial and do not interfere with the privacy of their guests. In one of the previous reviews, a guest mentioned that she did not like the teddy bears on the wardrobe. If you look through the rooms carefully you will find that the bears form a subtle theme throughout without being overwhelming. So, the bears can stay. The only thing that might bother is the fact that your car is not parked behind a security gate. But it did not bother us - just do not leave anything in your car that might tempt a passer by, and, with today's security system in cars, you will know very quickly if someone is tampering with your car. So, if you like a peaceful getaway, but without the cold, clinical feel of a hotel, Sol y Sombra is just the place for you and your partner. Sol y Sombra will definitely see us again.

Verblyf baie aangenaam en heel privaat.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en tuis laat voel. Die woonstel is pragtig en baie netjies met binnehof en al. Komplemente aan die eienaars.

Stay very pleasant and very private.

We were received very kindly and made to feel at home. The apartment is beautiful and very neat with a courtyard and all. Compliments to the owners.

This facility is good if you are en-route, and looking for a comfortable bed and a warm bath.

Pros: The bed is comfortable and warm (electric blankets provided). The bathroom has a lovely cast-iron bath, big enough for two. Cons: The facility has no safe parking, and the owners were adamant that we remove everything out of the car. In the end they very kindly made their own garage available. The room is quite small, and the kitchenette (most of it in a cupboard) only suitable for preparation of light meals. Summary: The facility is fine for sleeping over, but we would not recommend it as a holiday destination.

Sol y Sombra 's response

We deem it ill advised to leave luggage in a car, unsupervised overnight, anywhere in South Africa and indeed in most places in the world. As the guest was adamant that he was not going to unpack the car, I sacrificed my place in the garage for peace of mind. Betty's Bay is one of the safest places in South Africa.

'n Kuier wat hopeloos te kort was.

Ons het die verblyf verskriklik baie geniet. Die woonplek is pragtig, netjies, smaakvol ‒ alles wat ons nodig gehad het en nog baie meer. Baie dankie Annette vir jou gasvryheid. Ons sal weer wil kom.

A visit was way too short.

We enjoyed the accommodation a lot. The house is beautiful, neat, tasteful - everything that we needed and some more. Thank you very much Annette for your hospitality. We would like to come back again.

Excellent.

We had a wonderful time at Sol y Sombra. The gentle sound of the waves lulled us to sleep at night and we awoke to the sweet tweeting of the birds in the morning. So peaceful. The studio was beautifully decorated and very well appointed. All in all, a perfect getaway.

Pragtige plek in stil deel van Bettiesbaai

Hierdie plek kan ten sterkste aanbeveel word. Dit is aan die stiller kant van Bettiesbaai - stapafstand van 'n heerlike stap-strand, riviermond en duine. Die eienaars het baie aandag aan detail geskenk. Die kamer en badkamer is werklik pragtig.

Beautiful place in quiet part of Betties Bay

This place can be highly recommended. It is on the quieter side of Betties Bay - walking distance to a lovely walking beach, estuary and dunes. The owners paid a lot of attention to detail. The room and bathroom are truly beautiful.

Verwelkomend, goed toegerus, knus, goed geleë naby die see, privaat en gawe gasvrou.

Sol y Sombra se eienaar het ons verwelkom en al die nodige inligting gegee en ons toe ons privaatheid gegun. Die eenheid is baie goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het vir een aand of selfs week of twee se verblyf naby die see vir 2 - kan regtig aanbeveel, uitstekende waarde vir geld ook!

Welcoming, well equipped, cosy, good location close to the sea, private, friendly host.

The owner welcomed us and gave us all the info and privacy we needed. The unit is well equipped with everything you need for one night or even a week or two by the ocean - can really recommend this place. And good value for money too!
