    The view of the ocean was beautiful. The location was ideal and a short drive to Hermanus. The cottage was very spacious and well kitted out with lots of little touches to make you feel very welcome. Ideal for a stay to just relax but also...

Garth & Therese
SOLAR POWERED !!! Kalliste is a luxurious 1 Bedroom cottage with an en-suite bathroom. The unit has a large comfortab;e lounge with a dedicated workspace, kitchen and dining room. The cottage offers amazing sea and mountain views. Watch the waves breaking over the rocks from your deck, lounge or bedroom or for closer action take a stroll to the rocks and relax watching the waves roll over the rocks from a private seating area. If you prefer, take a walk into the Kogelberg nature reserve. A must view are the penguins at Stony Point. As part of our green campaign Kalliste derives its energy from the sun. Not only are we doing our bit for a healthier planet our guests also won't be inconvenienced by the national power outages. Kalliste is ideal for the environmentally conscious & those wanting to work remotely or watch a movie without the inconvenience of national load shedding in South Africa.
Simple down to earth people who prefer natural surroundings to city life. Enjoy good food, good wine and good company.
Betty's Bay is a peaceful coastal town bordered by the ocean and mountains. It is home to a large colony of jackass penguins. Surrounded by nature on land and in the ocean. At night, the area offers amazing views of the Milky Way.
