Nivenia Beach House

I came here with my boyfriend. We had the most beautiful stay. The place is stunning, and so well-equipped. Multiple coffee machines, complimentary wines and cookies/rusks/biscuits, massive television with Netflix, braai facility with outdoor seating and also a huge bed- more comfortable than my own back home

Great location, great hosts, great accommodation.

Nothing

Die Wohnung war wunderschön, es gab eine Flasche Wein zur Begrüßung und ein paar Leckerlis, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die Vermieterin ist soooo nett, versorgt einen über WhatsApp mit allen Informationen rund um Betty's Bay. Vielen Dank🙏

Das wir nur eine Nacht dort waren😟

Well Located

Nothing - all good

The modern finishes and amenities

Could've been a little more spacious, although was fine.

The property is clean and super comfortable. Did not lack anything for our stay👌🫶🏻

The roads leading to the property are not in the best condition.

Spotlessly clean and great host

Die Unterkunft ist ein Traum. Die Gastgeberin hat wirklich an alles gedacht was man brauchen könnte. Wir haben zweimal gekocht, auch das ist dank der großzügig ausgestatteten und modernen Küche überhaupt kein Problem. Es war sehr sauber, selbst die kleinsten Ecken. Wir kommen wieder!

Selbst wenn wir lange suchen würden, würden wir nichts finden.

We had the most lovely long weekend away, thanks to a wonderful host, Hanlie. The apartment has everything you need (large fridge, pans, airfryer, microwave, multiple coffee options to chose from), plenty of towels (beach towels too) and a very comfy bed. The location was in walking distance to the beach and about a 20 to 25 minute walk to the penguins. The Harold Porter Gardens are a close drive away and incredibly beautiful - if you are here on a Saturday, join for a Park Run!

There was nothing we didn't like!

The Apartment! The countless valuables tips from the host

After a long flight and then the additional drive to Betty's Bay we felt more than welcomed here 😀 such a lovely greeting in the evening, a super clean and comfy place where you can easily rest and relax. We loved the air fryer that evening tbh and besides that there is everything you need and more (from coffee to bathrobes and we never had that many comfy pillows in one bed). So we highly recommend Nivenia Beach House to you!!!! Also - definitely visit the penguins 🤩

Nothing to complain!!!

Very neat and tidy place with attention to detail. The host thought about everything one would need to stay comfortably. Highly recommended. Hanlie is very helpful and a great host. Complementary wine was such a nice surprise.

Nothing

The apartment was thoughtfully and most beautifully appointed. It had everything you could possible want or need. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in, with lovely linen and towels. The kitchen had three coffee stations to start with and we were spoilt with complimentary rusks, chocolate biscuits, milk and wine and a stunning arrangement of protea flowers. Hanlie met us and showed us in and provided lots of detailed information with regards to local facilities and activities. The apartment (Sunset) is set down below the house via stairs and is protected from the wind and rain by a covered enclosed verandah with outdoor dining furniture and a gas BBQ. It does not have a view but you can walk through idyllic sand dunes to the beach via a lagoon and a meandering walk will take you to the penguin colony. There are stunning hikes nearby (hike Leopards kloof to the waterfall from the Harold Porter botanical garden and Hangklip from Pringle Bay). Freshwater wild swimming is available in a local small lake. We loved our time here and can highly recommend it.

Great value for money, the studio was well equiped and clearly a dedicated host has made this an excellent choice - we will be back next year!

Everything, clean, friendly owners.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Komfortable, schöne Unterkunft mit allem was man braucht. Tolle Lage in sicherer Gegend. Nah am Strand. Sehr nette Gastgeberin.

nichts-:)

Hanlie and Graham have thought of everything when equipping Penguin Apartment. They have done an excellent job. Hanlie greeted us on arrival and showed us round. If I had any questions she always replied by return on Whats App. The apartment was spotless, the bed very comfortable with good quality bed linen and towels and a choice of pillows. The complimentary excellent bottle of red wine was much appreciated. Hanlie sent me lots of info on things to do, places to visit and restaurants. She also gave us directions to the nearest beach which is about a 200m walk. The secure parking was important to us. Another bonus was having Netflix as the weather was unusually bad with a severe storm which meant we couldn’t go out for dinner.

Nothing.

Hanlie & Graham were wonderful hosts. The apartment is an amazing compact property that has everything that you could possibly wish for. Bed was ultra comfy and shower awesome.

The apartment is very well-equipped and the location is great, very close to the beach.

Super-sauberes und sehe gut ausgestattetes Ausstattung. Die Betten waren super bequem. Und die Besitzer sind wunderbare Gastgeberin. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Zudem liegt sie sehr Nah am Meer.

The quiet location , which was very neat and clean

We were not allowed to have guest or friends , to come and visit

We had a fantastic stay at this self-catering unit in Betty’s Bay. Hanlie and Graham are extremely helpful, friendly, and well-organised hosts. Everything was perfectly prepared and in place. The unit is very neat, spotless, and exceptionally well equipped with all the amenities you could need. A special touch was the professionally printed information book about the unit, as well as the helpful tips Hanlie provided with recommendations for local restaurants and places to visit, which was invaluable as we were unfamiliar with the area. We were also warmly welcomed with generous complimentary items on arrival, which was greatly appreciated. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this unit. We will certainly be back.

Ausstattung und das Bett

Sehr freundlicher Empfang und super einfache Kontaktmöglichkeit zur Gastgeberin. Wohnungen sind sehr sauber, schön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Sehr nah zum Strand und schöne Aussicht auf die Berge.

Nivenia Beach House was excellent. Hosts really superb & thought of everything, every little detail taken care of

Immaculate unit very well provisioned, very friendly helpful hosts you will want for nothing.

Nothing. Having vehicle to get around makes it perfect.

Very considerate and friendly hosts who went the extra mile to make sure we had all the info we could possibly need about the area and things to do.

Only thing I can think of is that the street numbering in the area is a bit confusing as they show the erf numbers but our hosts cleared that up by coming out to meet us as we pulled up.

Great apartment, comfortable and beautifully decorated with fully fitted kitchen. Minutes from the beach, beautiful location. Parking. Excellent communication with Hanlie who made us feel so welcome and shared local knowledge and recommendations.

Very comfortable and very well equipped

Wow. Such a beautiful place to stay. Very modern and almost brand new. Lovely host. Definitely recommended

Nothing

Great location and friendly hosts.

Excellent accommodation at Nivenia Beach House. Stylish decor and modern kitchen and bathroom. Well fitted kitchen with a lot of extras for self catering such as air fryer and coffee machines. Braai area outside. Soft gown and electric blankets for cold weather. Enough clean towels and a washing line. A very cosy and private flat with everything you can think of. Coffee, sugar and milk was provided. Even some wine and cookies! Safe parking and close to the restaurants and beach.

There is no real view from the room but all the comfort and extras really makes up for it!

Beautifully located, the room was clean and we really appreciated the complimentary snacks and wine - thank you. Hanjie was very helpful. We enjoyed walking on the quiet beach very close to the house, and visiting the penguins was amazing.

This isn't a reflection on the hosts or the property at all but I was sad to see that Betty's Bay is developing so fast - there's many vacant lots with really high quality natural vegetation being sold for new housing, which will spoil the natural beauty of the area. The walkable shops have a very poor selection of food for sale, you do need to go elsewhere to find supplies.

Everything 🙌 beautiful place … bed sooo comfy and all the extra blessings (wine , rusks , biscuits, coffee , milk etc ) so appreciated and enjoyed! Thank u

Nothing

Nevenia is a home away from home. Charming and comfortable. The host has thought of everything. We will definitely return in the future.

Confusion over what room was booked

I love the venue The condition of the place it was truly a very pleasant experience The space is just enough to give you a sentiment of spending time with a beloved The bathroom is truly a site as if I stepped in the Sun Hotel There is indeed a braai area that is truly lovely to partake with friends or just as a couple with a touch of a tropic feel All in all the Host is absolutely amazing the place is fully accommodated with everything you need, it feels like home and more I would truly say the only thing you need to go with is your clothes and food, further this place is a 20/10 rating Just beautiful

I didn't like that I had to leave, the place is just to die for I would go back with every moment I can with my beloved

Everything was exceptional, nice friendly staff, comfy bed and full kiitchen

Oh, I can't even begin to tell how much we appreciated our stay here! Before arriving the owner has already sent us many helpful informations about restaurants etc. At our arrival we experienced the most heartwarming, kind and uplifting welcome ever. Such a friendly spirit makes an arrival after a long drive just gentle. She even had put the heating on for a while and turned heating blankets in our bed on, so that we would not find a cold bed or room. The room itself is perfectly organized, absolutely clean and there is nothing missing, one might need... and everything we found is of very good quality... we so enjoyed the cookies/rusks that were in the room... we never had better ones before... all in all...just a perfect stay. We will come back! Thank you.

Rooms are clean, well maintained and equipped with comfortable bedding, plenty of living amenities and situated in the ideal peaceful location near the beach. All snacked necessities provided for (Biscuits, tea, coffee, milk, bottled water etc.) by the wonderful owner Hanlie who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Could not have asked for more!

Super clean, very detailed orientated which I love, owner communicated very well & clearly goes above &beyond. Excellent provisions , honestly felt like a little hotel. Bed & bedding super comfortable.

Absolutely nothing that I didn’t like

Absolute luxury… amazing attention to detail… host thought of everything, even welcome wine , rusks , cookies and flowers.Our best Bnb out of 7 on this trip in SA. Hanlie even recommended eating places etc.

Nothing to dislike at all!

It was easy to locate. Close to the main road and restaurants. Beautiful property, close to the beach 🏝️ Extremely tranquil & peaceful. We felt right at home. Hanlie really did go the extra mile and thought of everything. And to make our stay more memorable the house kitty made sure to pay us a visit ❤️Highly recommend staying at Nivenia!

Nothing to say. 😊

The place was immaculate. Everything is available you could think of to make you comfortable. Walking distance to beach.. Amazing outside covered area for use of gas braai / BBQ. Nice and private.

All facilities were top class. And the host made us feel very welcome and provided us with alot of information regarding things to do etc

Everything. This place is stocked to the 9s. Just bring yourself,your food , clothes and sunblock They literally have everything needed for a self catering trip. Also everything provided is of superior quality including the towels, bedding and everything else. Not many people would have slept on a more comfy bed. Head down. Count to 3. Zzzzzzzz The hosts were amazing. Super friendly and helpful. She sent me so many links of things to do. Thanks Hanlie. Me and wifey will be back soon

Nothing at all

Everything! The host were amazing, accommodating & culturally sensitive without even having to ask.

Nothing not to like.

Hanlie and Graham warmly welcomed us to their stunning home in Betty’s Bay with lots goodies and a excellent self catering unit.

We received a warm welcome from the hosts. The apartment is impeccably clean, comfortable, spacious and exquisitely furnished. We were delighted to find a dishwasher plus an airfryer in the beautiful kitchen. A mere 5 minute walk took us to a gorgeous beach. It was perfect!

Hanli and Graham went beyond and above any expectations to ensure our very elderly parents had a breakaway of note. Their care, attentiveness and attention to detail is exceptional. The tastefully decorated unit is eqipped with high end appliances, linen and thoughtful touches; one wants for nothing. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for them to make our parents stay one they will always reflect back on very fondly. A beautiful stay hosted by exceptional people; we are forever grateful.

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Nivenia Beach House, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The guest house itself was immaculately clean and neat, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel very comfortable. The amenities were top-notch, and I appreciated the attention to detail that made our stay so enjoyable. I would highly recommend Nivenia Beach House to anyone looking for a warm and inviting place to stay. The host's hospitality and the guest house's comfort and cleanliness make it a true gem. Rating: 5/5 stars

There's nothing I didn't like.

Hanlie went over and above our expectations and assist with surprising us. The guest house has everything you need as a couple. Really spotless and modern. Loved that everything you required is there. The location is tranquil and down the road from a few place to keep you busy. Definitely would recommend and go again, this time for longer.

The room was extremely well laid out and very comfortable

Nothing comes to mind

Everything was FAB-U-LOUS!

We liked everything about the property, everything you could possibly want was provided. Hanlie was a lovely host, very informative and kindly left wine, fresh flowers, cookies and rusks. Big comfy bed. Although no washing machine in the apartment Hanlie did a couple of wash loads for us, so no problem.

Nothing to dislike

Excellent facilities, personal approach, super comfortable bed. One of the best I've been to.

Everything I would expect from a Guest house

The stay was perfect, just like the photos. You can walk less than 5 min to the beach. The location is perfect and you can also do some hikes nearby. The complimentary wine was a very nice touch. Definitely recommend it!

Lovely little touch’s on arrival , wine , snacks . The host had made a cute little book of surrounding area

All as good as could be , faultless

Clean,comfy, well equipped Lovely host who was incredibly helpful in the area Fantastic location Beautiful walks nearby

Hanlie, the host met us and took us to the apartment, showed us where to find the fire extinguisher, etc. She kept us updated of location, etc, and had a beautiful basket of goodies with a choice of red or white wine to choose from, honestly went the extra mile and it was like home away from home. Highly recommend and we will be back

Everything was absolutely incredible, there is nothing to not like.

We loved everything about this property. The owner Hanlie was super welcoming and friendly. The unit was clean and super comfortable. Lovely fluffy thick bath towels, king size bed with crisp cotton linen and quality bedding, TV with wifi, complimentary biscuits and homemade rusks, yummy chocolates and two lovely local wines, coffee, tea, milk and sugar. Body wash, shampoo and body cream all elegantly bottled. 2 ply toilet paper. Unit is self catering with air fryer, gas stove, kettle, coffee machine, toaster. Aircon in the room and if chilly bed has an electric blanket. Close to the beach and one can hear the sound of the ocean. The beach is spectacular with the gorgeous overberg mountain framing a clean beach. The photos on platform look exactly like the unit advertised. No false advertising. Secure parking too. We will be back, a 10.
