Budget Getaways Review
A laid-back escape for a hassle-free weekend in Betty’s Bay, Fynbos Cottage sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac beneath the rugged Kogelberg, about a kay from the sea.
Framed by a small fynbos garden, the cottage is a neat, compact and tasteful affair.
Sleeping four max, you've got a double room (with fireplace, nogal), and a second twin room for the kids. The shared bathroom (towels provided) comes with bath (with shower above) and separate loo.
The living area is equipped with a Jetmaster and decked with comfy couches and a dining table. Leading off from here is the open-plan kitchen and bar counter.
You’ll find the outdoor chill zone to the front of the cottage; a full-length stoep flows onto the lawned garden and a built-in braai sets the tone for that early mug of post-beach budget plonk.
From your cottage it's a short cruise (1km) to Main and Silver Sands beach, and Betty's various fishing spots.
Flipping through the guestbook, the feedback bodes well: “This is the third time staying at Fynbos Cottage, my husband likes to fish, and I like to relax,” declares a satisfied urbanite. “We had a super stay at Fynbos Cottage. Perfect getaway with quiet surroundings and the sound of ocean close by,” says another happy customer.
A neat and no-fuss family getaway within easy striking distance of Cape Town.
"It was absolutely awful. To sum it up: old, cold, shabby and smelly. We didn't want to use anything in this place. Holes in the worn out linen, awful mattresses, stains on the couch, old crockery and cutlery, old kitchen facilities, mold in the bathroom, freezing cold in the bedrooms (we all got sick after staying here), place smells like a combination of damp and fire, no heater provided, no wood provided, etc etc. - no love or pride in this place, it's a disgrace, and the people renting it out just don't seem to care. It was hard to get to the beach without knee high wellington boots, it was so wet there. Avoid it!"

"This was the third time staying at Fynbos cottage. My husband likes to fish, and I like to relax, so I drop hubby at the sea and go back to the cottage to relax, and I feel quite safe there alone. All you need to pack is food and clothes, everything else is provided."

"We really enjoyed our stay."
