Perched halfway up a hill Features private gardens with sea & mountain views. The property is 8 minutes' drive from Pinnacle Point Golf Club.

The individually decorated rooms at Betty's Boutique Hotel feature a private bathroom, electric blankets, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and tea-and-coffee making facilities. Rooms at Betty's Boutique Hotel also boast free WIFI.

What a magical place is Betty’s Boutique Hotel. A bygone era captured perfectly. So refined. There is an amazing array of interesting English memorabilia. Beautiful porcelain cups and teapots, so much to appreciate. We chose the Rose Room which oozed romance. The waitresses/housemaids all wore pretty floral aprons and were always nearby to ensure our comfort. Our room was immaculately cleaned and reset every day. Tea and coffee making facilities were in our room presented beautifully on a trolley. A delicious bottle of wine was gifted to us on our arrival with two huge, fine glasses. I mention all the above to point out just how dedicated the owners are to making their guests feel very special. Our bed was enormous and so very cosy and comfortable. The bathroom large and bright with a brilliant, strong, hot shower. Two lovely armchairs were in our room giving us a place to sit and read if we wished. Breakfasts were amazing served on a sunny balcony with views over the peaceful garden and out to sea with relaxing background music making it a hard to leave. Not normally one for eating breakfast I couldn’t resist the temptation to indulge each morning. We have moved on to our next stop after a most memorable 4 days at Betty’s. We miss the smiles and attention that the beautiful girls showered us with. We will treasure wonderful memories we made at Betty’s Boutique Hotel. Thanks to Lewis and his family and their wonderful team.

    The hostess was very friendly she made us feel at home on our arrival. She was very accommodating with our schedules around breakfast times and everything was on time and delicious, which we appreciated. We had lovely views over the surrounding area, so peaceful and quiet, no heavy vehicles or traffic noise. The host let us use the fridge. The rooms were cleaned every day and we had fresh towels everyday. The wifi signal was very good even with the storm and strong winds we had on the last evening.

    I stayed at Avenues Guesthouse and had the best experience imaginable. The guesthouse is located in the city centre of town, but in a quiet, peaceful area. The room was exactly as described on booking.com, nothing was missing and it was spotless clean. There is a communal fridge in the lounge which I liked a lot; I don’t like having noisy appliances in the bedroom. Maaike and Martin are attentive and friendly hosts and provided me with all necessary information, including recommendations for dinner. I’ll be back, for sure.

    The hosts are amazing, super welcoming and friendly, always helpful if you have any questions. The guest house is in a quiet and safe area and there's parking in front of the house. Tons of restaurants in Mossel Bay and closeby. The terrace overlooking the bay is the best part. We had a great breakfast there in the morning. Would 100% recommend to stay here.
