Sue
A stones throw to the beach on one side and uninterrupted mountain views from the brand new wooden deck and outside braai on the other side. The feel of the house is just 'beachy'. Gorgeous open-plan house which is about a hundred meters from the sea with easy access to both the sea and Bass lake. Newly redecorated, the inside is very comfortable and homely. It is very light, warm and airy in shades of whites and blue. An added bonus is the outside shower (very private) with hot and cold water.
65+ very active. Love outdoors, sea, sun, mountains, hiking, running, swimming, cycling. Brought up 3 successful children who have all left home and moved on with their lives. Life motto: LIVE LIFE Your host, Sue, will be a phone call away in Cape Town, should any problems arise.
The neighborhood is very kid and people friendly with children riding bikes, walking and skateboarding freely. The house is dog friendly (max = 2) but please be aware the property is not fenced so dogs need to stay close to you all the time. I have just been informed that building will commence this week(10/3/25) on an adjoining property (though 50m away). For this reason, I will offer a 15% discount to guests during weekdays. Please request this on booking. Once you have arrived at Betty's Bay, your best means of transport is by foot. It is best to bring most provisions with you. There is a local café and bakery but for a 'big' shop, Kleinmond is 10 kms away.
