Nordic Beach House
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!

Indoor Gas Braai Instructions:
-
- Please open the gas valve under the braai and close it after use.
- Turn the first left knob to high and ignite with the red button while pushing in.
- Once the first burner is on, do the same with the other knobs, moving from the left to the right side of the braai.
Opening and closing of the swimming pool cover
The crank needed to open the pool cover and the ropes to close it can be found on the bottom shelf next to the front door.
IMPORTANT: The Pool cover pump is plugged into the wall socket and is positioned in the middle of the cover. Its function is to remove water from the cover when it is raining. If you do not open the cover, please leave the pump where it is. If you open the pool, please keep the pump plugged in but place it on the side of the pool (by the stairs).
To open:
Place the crankshaft into the hole on the side of the cover (circled in green). Turn the crank in a clockwise direction until the cover is open. Please store the crankshaft on the shelf next to the front door when done.
To close:
Hook the rope onto the cover on both sides (areas circled in green). Pull the cover closed by pulling on the handle on the rope. Please store the rope where found (bottom shelf next to the front door).
