Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
We stayed for two nights last week and wished we’d booked for longer. Helene made us feel so welcome and it really did feel as if we were staying with friends. The room was beautiful. Tastefully decorated , spotlessly clean with all the amenities we could wish for. We’ve stayed in quite a few 5 star rated hotels, but this exceeded them all. Stay at Friends is the perfect place if you are looking for relaxation and tranquility. Helene gave us plenty of tips on things to see and do and her local knowledge about restaurants and walks definitely improved our stay. Andi and the other girls who work for Helene do a great job and were always wearing beautiful smiles! We loved it there.

Spacious apartment with balcony and jacuzzi. Great beds, very nice furniture and a fully equipped kitchen. The location is very quiet and the car is in the secure parking lot. I'll be back next year!

The room are confortable and nicely decorated, Eventhough quite small, they are furnished in a way to use al the space available. The staff was very friendly. We would have loved to stay longer to have the chance to interract more with the manager. Next time obviously!

This place is absolutely wonderful. We booked the flat with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and lounge and it was really beautiful, luxurious and all the little details were amazing. Very friendly staff, wonderful beds and beautiful nature with a short walk to the beach. Totally recommend for anyone.

We recently stayed at this Guest House, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The room was beautiful with tasteful decor. We loved the lounge and kitchen area, just perfect. The highlight of our stay was the wonderful breakfast served each morning. The attentive staff (Winston) and overall ambiance made our stay truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and relaxing stay.

We had THE ROOM of the house. Great view (Honeymoon Suite), the sea! Excellent room, lovely beds, good kitchen. Mia was really helpful and served excellent breakfast. We loved every moment and aspect of this place. Total relaxation after some 21hrs of flying from home, best possible start for holiday. And just a short drive to see those wonderful penguins!

We stayed two nights and were blown away by the location, quality of accommodation and the hospitality and friendliness of our host Helene. Take a short walk to the most amazing beach, sit by the pool enjoying a glass of local wine or visit the penguin colony or botanical garden only a few minutes drive away. There are some good restaurants nearby for dinner but keep plenty of room for Helene"s amazing breakfasts.Small is not in her vocabulary.

Stay at friends has an excellent host and owner, Helene, who exceeded our expectations. The room was beautiful, the breakfast was amazing and her hospitality really makes you feel like you are staying with friends. She even invited us for coffee and a complimentary dish she prepared for her friends during our stay.
Upon our arrival we were greeted with a thoughtful welcoming drink and snack before shown to our room.
My room had wifi, full dstv channels, a microwave, bar fridge, hairdryer, complimentary milk/tea/coffee//sugar, a safe, clean towels everyday, bathrobes,a heated blanket and the most comfortable bed.
It also has excellent views of the sea and there was a pool with braai facilities. It is a wonderful place if you are looking to relax and to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Well staying at friends is like being with your friends in very comfortable and welcoming accommodation. Our hostess Helenia and her assistant Andy surprised us with a welcoming home made snack followed by some information about the local area highlights.
After settling in we shared some time around the fireplace with a drink and plenty of laughs. Stay at Friends is superb for a couple needing a friendly few nights with some great facilities and friendly hosts.

Your host at Stay at Friends will know what hiking is available.The Penquins are on your doorstep.We dined at Jack's Restaurant which is just up the road. Good food with friendly efficient service.There are other restaurants in the area but we only tried Jacks.
Hope this helps.
There are more places to choose from in the Betty's Bay area.
