Location was excellent, close to Harold Porter.
A bin in the bathroom would have been nice.
I loved the fact that the house was surrounded by trees, next to the stream with a stunning view from the top roof .
We have spoken to the owner , they need to get a smart TV . There are some extra utensils that is needed in the kitchen . We only had 3 knives and we we four people .
beautiful location roof top area outside braai area is amazing
I loved the quiet, serenity, and peaceful atmosphere of Streams Cottage. The location is good. It is close enough to Kleinmond, the beach area, and Betty's Bay.
The TV was a bit difficult to navigate.
Quiet location. Comfortable and lovely surroundings. The rooftop veranda was great. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable

The cottage is very spacious, equipt with everything you need including a potjie, a gas stove, nice size fridge/freezer, and kitchen table for 4, ens. Outside, cozy garden seating near stream, beautiful garden, a large braai area in the garden, with seating under the trees. Cottage is very clean. Walking distance to Harold Porter Botanical Gardens and nearby Cafe, with fresh bread and much more. Safe area to walk, and very close to access to sea with walking path around the coast.
Wunderschönes Cottage in herrlicher Lage, sehr freundliche Gastgeber, wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.
Wir hatten einen rundum wunderbaren Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft! Die Hausbesitzer sind außergewöhnlich freundlich, herzlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit – man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und bestens aufgehoben. Die gesamte Hausumgebung ist äußerst gepflegt und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Alles wirkt sehr einladend und sorgt für eine entspannte, angenehme Atmosphäre. Man merkt sofort, wie viel Wert hier auf das Wohl der Gäste gelegt wird. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
The stream and pond are wonderful. The easy access to Harold Porter botanical garden is also very convenient.
We loved the quietness, tranquility, the garden and all other things that it had to offer like rooftop braai area, the stream flowing through and the beautiful scenic views of the mountains, sea and sunset

Private and well situated cottage. Friendly owners and willing to accommodate your needs. Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms fitted with all needed. Relaxed atmosphere.
Herman i Karen to wspaniali gospodarze. Herman ma szkółkę młodych roślin protea. Mój mąż był bardzo zainteresowany i Herman znalazł czas, żeby mu wszystko dokładnie wyjaśnić. Domek znajduje się tuż obok Harold Porter National Botanical Garden. 2 km od domku jest piękna piaszczysta plaża.
Wunderschöne Aussicht auf der Dachterrasse. Toller Gastgeber.

We liked everything about our cottage. The children enjoyed it so much we had to stay another night. Would definitely go back soon.
We liked everything
A beautiful and peaceful stay! The cottage is cozy, clean, and well-equipped, with lovely mountain and fynbos views. Perfect location near the beach. We especially enjoyed the tranquil setting and evenings by the braai. Highly recommend!
The views are amazing. There is a very peaceful steam from the mountains at the backyard and beautiful view from the rooftop. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely go back.
Host physically assaulted my 10year old little girl and we had two snakes in our room, and no hot water and no electricity on our final day. The host is very rude and we have laid charges. To hit my child , a guests child. Is highly illegal.
Location. Amazing hosts

A comfortable and spacious, well furnished two bedroom cottage, with big windows allowing the serenity of the spectacular surroundings into the home. It was beautiful being able to enjoy a braai in the private garden with the beautiful fresh water streaming pond. Additionally, you can literally walk across the road to the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens and experience beautiful waterfalls.
The property and surrounds are beautiful. Very central spot. Lovely and tranquil. We enjoyed the birdlife and the garden. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.
The bathroom cleanliness could be improved.
Second stay here. For us, its perfect. Maybe I would call it "basic and very nice". Beaufiful little "own" garden, roof terraza, location is great. And so on...
nope
Beautiful spot, close to the beaches and just a short walk from the botanical garden and good coffee shops. The place has a peaceful private garden with amazing views and perfect for a cozy braai in the evening. The lovely owners Karin and Herman who live next door made us feel very welcome. Our little girl loved visiting and hanging out with Karin after coming back from our outings and was sad to leave :)
The property is very spacious and immaculately clean. The location is absolutely exceptional for access to the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden. The Gardens are lovely and very relaxing.
Spacious cottage, closer to the beach and restaurants.
I absolutely adored my stay at Streams Cottage! The hosts Herman and his wife were wonderfully attentive.and friendly. The cottage was comfortable, with an exquisite garden, stream and natural pool for those open to swimming with frogs and carp. It has a wonderful rooftop entertainment area, with a table and benches to enjoy the sunset over dinner. The property is a stone's throw from a coastal path that leads to the beautiful white sandy Betty's Bay beach. This was a really relaxing stay, in a very quiet, low density neighborhood with lowland fynbos all around. I highly recommend staying here, and hope to return again soon for another relaxing stay.

A delightful self-catering accommodation that makes you feel right at home. The cottage was well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a modern kitchen with all necessary appliances. The living area was cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The location was ideal, offering picturesque views and easy access to hiking trails. The hosts were friendly and provided helpful recommendations for local activities and restaurants. Streams Cottage made for a perfect home away from home, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. We will definitely be returning.
Wonderful location to access the mountain and the beach. Friendly host who was very attentive and helpful, but also respected our privacy. Few minutes walk to the beach, and to the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens towards the mountain. Clean and spacious facilities, wonderful shady outdoor setting where we sat and worked for a couple of days in the garden, by the pond, with the chirping birds, under the cool shade of the trees. Quiet location. Five minute drive to the penquins at Stony Point, fifteen minute drive to the Arabella Hotel, where we had lunch on a Sunday afternoon, when everything in Bettys Bay was closed. I highly recommend this accommodation.
Clean, simple accommodation that offers great value with really friendly hosts. Very well equipped kitchen. Interesting 'natural' garden to rear. 5 minutes stroll to quiet beach with surf, rock pools and lots of bird life. 50m from Harold Porter gardens. 100m from nice little shop and good cafe. Highly recommend
Nothing!
The host a real host checked on us regarding our check in time and was very accommodating as we arrived way before check in time which was much appreciated. Thnx Herman. Everything felt very homely, like home away from home.
There was nothing that we didn't like.
Peaceful, beautiful location
Hermann and Karin are very lovely couple. They made our stay very relaxing and nice. Everything functioned well and the area is safe and quiet. Lots of nice walks you can do around. Hope to be back there someday. All the best and thank you both.
We loved the natural pond, greenery, and looking at all the cool critters . Braai area was nice. Great view of the sunset from the top. Less than a 10 minute walk to the beach . 5 minute drive from the main road where you will find coffee shops , grocer, and other necessities. It's close to the Penguin colony as well. A lovely and authentic stay in the heart of Betty's Bay.
The view, the peacefulness, the hosts, everything
The beds were too hard
The position, value for money and the garden and view. It is across the road from Harold Porter. There are restaurants, a convenience store,a deli and an excellent laundry.
Myself my husband and my 2 children we spend Christmas at Streams Cottage and we loved everything about the cottage. Very spacious, clean, comfortable. It felt like home. Owners was easy to reach and very helpful.
"own" garden, roof terrazza with sea- and mountain-view, big fridge, good wlan, location 100 yards to botanical (kloof/waterfall) garden on one side and 100 yards to the coast on the other side. -- Perfect value for money anyway...

Excellent location, superb facilities and fantastic hosts!
Wonderful venue to get away from the city. Beautiful sea and mountain views from the deck on the roof.
The location was amazing, wonderful view of mountain and semi view of ocean. Host was very knowledgeable of area, provided ample tips, routes, where to see interesting things, and was always available.
Too short.. ☺
Great place for a short trip, getting way from it all. The children enjoyed the dinner on the roof! We were right at the foot of the mountains where we took a beautiful trail to a waterfall.
The Peacefulness of Betty's Bay and this 2 bedroom unit. Beautiful view of the mountain. 5 minute walk to the sea. Self catering facilities very good. You can also purchase proteas grown from seed from the owners.

Perfect place for a get away. Everything that we need was there. We also like the view on the deck and the beach is walking distance. Very friendly host both Karin and Herman. We will see you soon
The place is in a beautiful area, with stunning views of the mountains and ocean. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely visit again.
Everything about the place. It was comfortable, cozy and had all the necessities needed for the perfect break away . The hosts were really sweet and very caring and were always available when needed . Herman and his wife are absolute gems 💕🤗 will definitely be going back.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Streams Cottage. It is in a lovely, quiet location with the beautiful Harold Porter Botanical Gardens just across the road and some lovely places to eat a short walk away. The Cottage was wonderful and comfy and well equipped. Our hosts, Herman & Karen, were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. We would love to go back when we get the chance.
