Posted on Sun October 18, 2026.

Plan a coastal break in Betty’s Bay, with gardens, penguins and a sea-view base at Jock’s View for up to eight guests.

For a holiday built around nature and time together, Betty’s Bay offers a beautiful setting between the mountains and the ocean. Keep the itinerary simple: one outing, a relaxed meal and plenty of time to enjoy your accommodation.

A gentle weekend plan

Arrival afternoon: Settle into Jock’s View from 15:00, unpack and enjoy the sea views. Plan dinner around the indoor braai and relax in the outdoor hot tub.

Explore the next day: Visit Harold Porter National Botanical Garden for its fynbos setting, or Stony Point to see African penguins. Check current access arrangements and opening times with the operators before travelling.

Before heading home: Enjoy breakfast with a view and leave time to pack for check-out no later than 10:00.

Your self-catering base

Jock’s View sleeps eight guests, including children, in four bedrooms. The house has two bathrooms and a guest toilet, an equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, an indoor braai and an outdoor hot tub. The driveway is steep; a double garage and carport are available.
