Misty Shores Cottage

  • Tucked away within a protected biosphere reserve this old-world nautical cottage is a quiet celebration of nature, simplicity, and refined comfort. Designed exclusively for two, this space offers a rare sense of space and seclusion - an intimate retreat where time slows and the natural world takes centre stage.

    The cottage blends classic maritime character with understated luxury: weathered textures, thoughtful details and a calming pallet inspired by sea and shore. Every element has been carefully chosen to feel both simple and indulgent, allowing you to settle in without distraction. There are no excesses here - only quality craftmanship, and a deep respect for the surrounding landscape.

    Step outside and you are immersed in the rhythm of the biosphere reserve, where nature is protected, cherished, and ever present. Nearby, an African Penguin breeding colony offers a unique and memorable wildlife experience, while world class wine farms are a short drive away, perfect for leisurely tastings and long lunches. For those drawn to the outdoors the surrounding area provides exceptional hiking trails through fynbos, mountains, and coastal scenery.

    This is a place for two people seeking connection - to each other and to nature - in a setting that feels timeless, private, and beautifully restrained.

  • Lovely stay

    ""We loved our stay in Betty's Bay, it was the perfect mix of exploring (thanks to the hosts recommendations) and relaxing at this beautiful place next to the ocean. Everything was well thought through and the hosts put effort into all little details. We'll miss this serenity for sure. Highly recommend!"
