The Retreat - luxury Bed and Breakfast, Cape Whale Coast, Overberg, guest house, Western Cape

A haven of tranquillity, comfort and style, The Retreat is a luxury Bed and Breakfast situated in the coastal village of Betty's Bay, in the heart of the whale watching coast. This intimate guest house is only 5 minutes walk from the magnificent Silver Sands beach which is a soft white sweep set against the majestic Blesberg Mountain.

Wake up to birdsong and watch their early morning bath rituals in our natural fynbos setting, laze in bed with that good book you’ve been meaning to read for months or watch the moon rise from out of Leopards Kloof gorge whilst relaxing in the outdoor hot tub. Swim in the soothing Palmiet River or take a stroll down the African Penguin Board walk at Stony Point.

Delight in our scrumptious full English breakfast or decide on a health option. Fresh seasonal juices and detoxification programmes are available. Walk it off in our very own Koegelberg Nature Reserve (part of the proclaimed International Biosphere) or stroll to one of two waterfalls in the famous Harold Porter botanical gardens.

The Retreat is an ideal setting for Honeymooners. Whether travelling on your own or with a loved one, the experience is one of total relaxation and rejuvenation. Our friendly, warm service, beautiful natural surroundings and attention to detail will make sure your stay is truly memorable.
