"Stay at Friends", Betty's Bay, is the kind of guest house one can call "home away from home."
In 2011 Helene Segal had the opportunity to build her dream house. A home that shouts space and ample light. Helene's artistic decorative flair pulled off a rustic elegance creating a unique ambiance. Throw in Helene's bubbly, free spirited personality and you have a place to stay at filled with love and friendship and good old fashioned country hospitality.
Asking Helene's motto in life, she immediately replies "Live life! And let live!
Helene has been a teacher for 33 years teaching Home Economics – suffice to say she loves cooking and entertaining. Which makes her breakfasts a real treat – no time here for getting out of bed on the wrong foot.
STAY AT FRIENDS is a place where strangers become your friends.
Come in touch with nature and enrich your soul with the roar of the sea always in the back ground. Here fauna speaks to your soul. Fresh air, green areas and no street lights makes this village a special jewel away from city life and daily chores. It is the only place where pheasants come and greet you at your doorstep. Stay at Friends is the place where you will be treated, spoiled rotten what you deserve.
