Esdri
A warm welcome to you from Ellen, Lucille & the Be in Betty’s Bay team
Having lived here for over 10 years, we’re excited to share our beautiful village and some useful tips to help you make the most of your stay.
Betty’s Bay is part of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve and home to one of the richest fynbos areas in the Western Cape. Please help protect this unique environment by being cautious with fires, reducing your footprint and respecting wildlife.
We value the peace and tranquillity of Betty’s Bay and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Enjoy your stay!
