125 guests' feedbackFantastic location with fantastic host and hostess!
Lovely stay, peaceful surroundings and the best hosts we have ever had. Aunt Mariana and Oom Van As are two dear people and once again made us feel like we were visiting family.
Our stay was awesome, place is very, very neat. It looked exactly like the pictures. The hosts are such nice people, sorry I just get a lump in my throat. The muffins are a winner as well as biscuits. Where else do you find such hosts who go out of their way? And can the uncle speak (laughs). Aww, I'll go again soon.
My parents explored the area and enjoyed it immensely and felt safe.
The location is perfect and the place is so beautiful and fully furnished, I could easily stay there for a month. Everything you can think of is provided and the homemade muffins and biscuits make it extra special.
Absolutely wonderful! Just booked again immediately. Thank you for your genuine hospitality! 10 out of 10!
Amazing. Wonderful location, right at the penguin sanctuary, on the shore.
The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The place was very neat. I enjoyed my stay.
Awesomeness on another level. What more can you ask for than the most amazing vistas? Staying in a nature reserve with the beach on your doorstep. Our hosts were equally amazing and are well-informed about the area, which is rich in history. We were spoiled with yummy goodies, like the freshly baked muffins, just in time for tea. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to have the best stay in Betty's Bay.
Great stay with great hosts! We slept very well. Our reception was warm, genuine beautiful people and on top of that the area is picture perfect. The penguins were also a highlight. We will definitely come again! Thank you Uncle van As and Aunt Marianna.
We had a great time in the spacious, neat, well-equipped apartment. We were very kindly received and spoiled with mouth-watering rusks and muffins. Ideal for nature lovers, as penguins and geese roam freely. Photos give an accurate impression. We can highly recommend Crassula.
This was a much anticipated unit for us for many reasons. Actually, I don't want to say everything, otherwise they will be checked out if I want to visit. The hosts were great, the penguins stole my heart, but the view even from the room was so amazing!
Petro and I spent a fantastic time at the place. Thank you very much for your excellent hospitality and the great laughs and chats together. You deserve your 5 stars summa cum laude! Your place is a gem and we will see you again soon.
Fantastic! Hospitality amazing. Home-made muffins on our arrival were totally unexpected and delicious.
Truly delightful!
The place is clean and tidy and has everything one needs. We had the most delicious muffins waiting for us upon arrival. We had a really nice stay and will definitely go back again. The penguins can also be seen everywhere.
We had a great time!
We were received with great hospitality, we received nice pampering things. The unit is super clean and tidy, the bed linen of extremely good quality. I would recommend anyone to stay there.
We had a lovely, relaxing stay with beautiful sunrise views. The delicious homemade muffins were very thoughtful.
Very nice host and hostess. Delicious muffins and biscuits. Very well furnished. Everything was perfect.
Lovely apartment within walking distance of the penguin colony. So many treats like muffins, home-baked biscuits, coffee, tea, sugar and milk. We will definitely go again!
Our visit to Crassula was wonderful. The host received us kindly and was very friendly. We felt right at home. We will definitely go back again. Uncle and Auntie are excellent hosts and they really put a lot of effort into creating a place where you can just sit back and relax. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The peaceful atmosphere with the mountains on one side and the sea and penguins on the other was just what we needed to break away from the city.
Thank you very much for the excellent hospitality! We were spoiled with delicious carrot muffins and homemade biscuits on our arrival as well as a chocolate on the bed. The unit was beautifully decorated, comfortable and had everything needed to ensure a wonderful visit. Everything was clean and tidy. The unit is on the sea, right where the penguins breed. It was a feast! We saw the sun rise over the sea every morning and quite a bit in bed!
What a pleasure to stay at Crassula. It was our second time and we can really highly recommend the place. The room is spacious and clean with everything you need, and of course the location is the best you can get. Thank you very much, Mariana and Van As, for the nice visit.
What an amazing experience, I loved it!
Lovely peaceful, clean, safe place to stay.
Thank you for your hospitality; we had a great stay. The muffins and biscuits were very delicious.
The stay was very pleasant and tranquil. We did, however, miss a braai area as the room was attached to the house, but the braai place was disconnected from the accommodation.
Beautiful destination with penguins as guests.
I had a great time. The owners are friendly. The unit is neat to see the sea and penguins. Also very beautiful.
See stars.
Such a nice place to stay, with the friendliest and most hospitable people! Perfectly located near penguins, nature garden, walking trails and beach. Here we go again!
Very nice place, clean and tidy. Uncle and Auntie are very nice people, made us feel at home right away. We were welcomed with open arms, and the most delicious home-baked muffins. Would definitely recommend the stay.
What a lovely visit. We were carried on our hands. Many thanks to Van As and Marianna who put in so much effort, with all the treats and the beautiful card. We enjoyed it very much. We will definitely visit again. Stunning place and beautiful view of the sea.
Had a great time, and beautiful, clean and tidy.
Friendliest host you will ever find! We immediately felt at ease. Apartment is beautifully equipped with everything you need and more. Very nice view and privacy. We will definitely go back again.
The people were very friendly, and made us feel very welcome and the view very beautiful.
What a very pleasant and nice place to stay. The location is perfect and within walking distance of the penguin colony. The owners, Van As and Marianna are very friendly and helpful, we had a nice chat. I can highly recommend the place. Thank you for a nice visit.
We enjoyed it so much to be on the sea with the beautiful view and among the penguins.
Hospitality, muffin treat and safe. A must for anyone traveling through there.
Beautiful place just a stone's throw from the sea and penguins. The owners made us feel welcome and went out of their way to ensure we could braai even though the wind was blowing too hard at the usual braai place. The room has large windows to the outside so that even if the weather is unpleasant outside you can still enjoy the view and surroundings with the penguins that pass in front of the house at night. Alarm system makes you feel safe. Kitchen is well equipped. The place was super clean and tidy and then of course aunt Marianna's famous muffins were something to write home about.
We would go back to stay there again anytime. It was breathtaking.
I drove through for one day's fishing in Betties Bay for my birthday, had such a warm welcome by Marianna and Van As. Walked 30m and saw the penguins coming out of the sea, then later saw them walking past the house on their way to their "lekkelaap" spot, the apartment is super comfortable, clean and private. Fell asleep on the lovely big bed with the ocean's blissful roar in the background, absolutely perfect! Also, no load shedding!
We were pleasantly welcomed by Van As and Marianna, and were surprised by the excellent location (close to the penguins), the hiking trails, and how beautiful Betties Bay really is. Excellent value for money. Thank you very much Van As and Marianna!
We loved our stay at Crassula, right next to the beach and penguins, such a special treat to end our time in the Western Cape.
Van As and Mariana are the most hospitable owners we have ever met. Their place is very beautiful and the penguins that come to visit are too cute!!!
The unit is extremely spacious and tidy with attention to treats such as the delicious muffins. It is located in a quiet and open environment near the penguin colony, which makes the feeling close to nature just a bonus. There is also excellent provision for load shedding. Marianna and Van As make you feel at home straight away and after the lovely chats you almost part as a family.
The owners are friendly, helpful and proactive in meeting needs. Will stay here again.
Beautiful place by the sea with penguins just around the corner. Amazing host and hostess. Spoiled with biscuits, muffins and chocolate. Apart from that, coffee, tea and the necessary were provided with the kitchenette. Will definitely stay there again. A bonus was a wonderful service in the NG church.
What a pleasure to make friends with Van As and Marianna. Reception was so warm and we immediately felt at home. The muffins were also a winner. What a pleasure to hear and see the penguins on your front porch in the morning and at night. We will definitely see this place again. Well done!
Very friendly, concerned hosts. Every need is seen to. Comfortable and very clean. Nature is beautiful - penguins on the doorstep. Solar power.
Exceptional location and a very comfortable and welcoming accomodation. Hope to come back one day!
Wonderful people, clean, tidy and perfect arrangement, what makes them great is their human side. So a great job, we enjoyed ourselves. Mr Van As said, we don't get a lot of people like me, but please know that we don't get a lot of people like our host. God bless and thank you Van As and Marianne.
We had a very nice stay, very neat and safe and very nice walks on the beach among the penguins and other birds. Would stay with Crassula again anytime. The owners are very friendly.
Comfortable and private seaside apartment under owner's house, right next to the penguin colony and close to a well-reviewed seafood restaurant.
We had a wonderful stay. Our host lady and gentleman were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect and it is the most beautiful setting. Got delicious muffins.
Lovely, peaceful and beautiful.
The stay was great, our hosts were fantastic, we will be back.
Van As and Marianna were fantastic and immediately made us feel incredibly welcome. Crassula's location is special if you want to experience the wonders of Bettysbaai - between the fynbos and barely two minutes' walk then you are at the sea and a nice walking path along the coast. And if you don't feel like walking, you can sit inside the apartment with a beautiful view of the fynbos, sea and sometimes the penguins that walk by. We will definitely stay with Crassula again, and definitely for longer.
The location was amazing, it was close to the penguins, and a place to have breakfast. The views overlooking the bay were spectacular and we loved hearing the penguins chatting away. The owners were friendly and the room had everything we needed and more. The weather turned rainy, and we were pleasantly surprised to find some board games for us to play.
Everything was neat, clean and nice.
We can definitely recommend it. The very best hospitality one can get.
Our host and hostess shared their knowledge of the area with us and it was extremely interesting for us. Thank you for letting us share a piece of your paradise.
Excellent location in Betty's Bay with the most beautiful view. It is open distance from Penquin Sanctuary. Many paths for walking. Most friendly host and hostess. Well equipped and tidy unit. We had a wonderful stay.
It was a lovely sleepover. Everything was neat and clean. The location is beautiful and the host and hostess received us warmly. Sorry we couldn't stay longer.
Located by the sea and so close to the most beautiful penguins. Beautiful house and scenery. Very nice, clean and tidy facilities. Van As and Marianna welcomed us warmly and we chatted like old friends. The muffins and rusks were a delicious treat.
A beautiful home with charming hosts. Lovely décor with beautiful finishing touches. Very comfortable and clean. Big spacious bathroom. Close proximity to the beach. Lots of penguins. Bird life and rock dassies in the area. We were made to feel very welcome.
Crassula offered us a peaceful, scenic and value for money get away. Our batteries are recharged!
Very hospitable reception and a good time.
Crassula is very close to the beach and we were pleasantly surprised with a group of penguins who came to welcome us curiously. The owners are friendly and think of the smallest detail to make your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Van Ass and wife are special people. Friendly and helpful and makes you feel so at home. Can't wait to go again.
Marianna and Van As are very friendly and they have great attention to detail.
We had a wonderful restful weekend at Crassula. Our hosts were very sweet and thought of everything ahead of our stay. The accommodation was immaculately clean and so quiet. Just perfect for a weekend away and not far from Cape Town.
The position of Crassula is unique, being right on the coast and very close to Stoney Point. One can see many African Penguins within a short stroll of the house. Or you can enjoy wonderful walks along the shore to the Main Beach and beyond. A very well appointed flat with everything. you could wish for makes it ideal for self-catering. Our hosts Van As and Marianna made us feel very much at home, and the supply of some basics as well as the tea, coffee, rusks and muffins were very much appreciated! We enjoyed a very peaceful stay with the sound of the ocean and penguins at night. The WIFI connection was very good.
Walk a few meters to the penguins.
The appartement is well equipped and in walking distance to the penguins at Bettys Bay. The hosts Van As and Marianna are very friendly, we had a great conversation. We would definitely recommend this place. We would have stayed longer, but unfortunately there was no availability.
Crassula has an unobstructed view of the ocean and is steps away from the Stony Point penguin colony. The only sounds one hears are the waves and the penguins.
I have used many of the sites on the website. Crussula is a special place because it was out of the busy traffic and very close to the beach. The penguins were a privilege to be able to see them in their natural habitat. Mr. Van As's exceptional knowledge of the fauna and flora was a bonus. I would definitely use their place again and recommend it to anyone who needs that special getaway.
We had an absolutely wonderful time and Mariana and hubby were very friendly and helpful. Such lovely people, so neat and an awesome view. Would definitely go back there again.
Good reception, rooms are neat and clean. Covered parking space. Would love to stay there again.
We were made to feel very welcome and felt that nothing would have been too much trouble if we asked for it. Everything was better than we expected. We will be back.
Thank you Van As and husband for the wonderful reception. The rest really did us good.
The place is in the perfect location by the beach and by the cute penguins. The owners are the nicest people ever. And they have the most delicious muffins. Would advise everyone to book Crassula.
Everything was in place at short notice and we had a private stay. Pity for the South Easter that made a visit to the penguins difficult. Very good price compared to other places.
On entering, very friendly welcome by Van As and Marianna. The apartment unit was comfortable and clean with little extras like muffins, jam, butter, biscuits, coffee etc. Breathtaking view of the bay and 200m walk from a penguin colony. Harold Porter Botanic Gardens are worth it, beautiful scenery. Great cycling and exploring Betty's like this. Top notch hospitality.
It was a perfect break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The accommodation is beautiful and tidy and has everything you need. Marianna and Van As warmly welcomed us, it felt as if we had known them for years as we talked. Will definitely visit Crassula again.
The hospitality was fantastic with all the nice treats also just as nice. Would go again anytime.
Our hosts went the extra mile to make our stay pleasant by providing homemade muffins and rusks. The location is excellent, very clean and comfortable, and the conversation was interesting.
Was a wonderful place to stay, very neat and friendly owners. Place with everything needed for an overnight stay and a breathtaking sea view
It is the most beautiful, safest place to sleep over for more than just 1 night. The uncle and aunt are truly the friendliest people and welcomed us with open arms. We will most definitely go back again. It is a piece of heaven on earth.
I can highly recommend Crassula. The accommodation is great and Marianna and Van As, the owners, immediately make you feel at home with their warm, genuine hospitality. There is great scenery or you can simply kick off your shoes. The unit is very well appointed, perfect for a getaway. And the muffins, coffee and biscuits were a delicious bonus!
Best equipped guest house we have been to. Friendly host and hostess.
Baie lekker en rustig.
We had an amazing time. Van As and Marianna are the best hosts. If you want a breakaway weekend this is the place to go. Betty's Bay is such a beautiful place. We will definitely be back soon. Crassula would be the place we book again.
The service we received from Mr. Jordaan was excellent. Very safe and secure with a spacious bathroom. They provided all we needed to make our stay comfortable and my wife loved the place.
Right across the penguins. Safe for walking. No shops. Beautiful environment. Beautiful day trips. Clarensdrive is absolutely beautiful, if not the best then def one of the best in SA.
You have to love animals and the surroundings. Even though it was a bit windy, we enjoyed the outdoors, walks and travelling to surrounding areas. A place I will gladly return to.
Peaceful. Very relaxing.
Wonderful place to stay that I highly recommend. Right by the penguins and sea. Comfortable. Highlight are the owners - wonderful people who are very friendly.
All I want to say is Mariaan and her husband are really wonderful people. Felt like I was at my own home, friendly, great view and very peaceful.
Our privacy is respected.
The location is perfect. Right by the sea. In the late afternoon you can watch the penguins come to shore to go to their nesting places in the surrounding bushes. It was amazing to watch! Also watched the most beautiful sunrises. Van As and Marianna were the perfect hosts. We will visit again.
We really enjoyed our three days. Van As and Marianne make you feel at home immediately and it felt like we were meeting up with old friends. The location is perfect and everything is clean and neat. Absolute value for money. Can highly recommend Crassula.
Mariana and Van As are lovely people and the house is very beautiful and well appointed. The sea and penguins are literally on your doorstep. It is truly breathtakingly beautiful.
Was extremely good choice; View, wow! Hospitality and reception very welcoming! Location great. The sea is almost at your feet. Place very neat, clean and neat. Was spoiled with the most delicious muffins and rusks. Information file very interesting and beautiful photos. Penguins are everywhere and wonderful to watch.
Great people, letting you know that they are there for you. Very good contact by e-mail up front. Owners are very interested in botany in the area and are good teachers. Take more days if that is what interests you. Penguins in the backyard, the colony is only a 1 minute walk away. Very clean and well functioning.
The owners are so welcoming and friendly. The community is so amazing, they greet with a smile, beautiful mountain views and I am definitely going back. Thank you.
Very cute, not too big, has everything you need and really enjoyed being so close to the penguins.
Very neat and private accommodation. Spacious with a beautiful view. The hostess is very friendly and respects the privacy of the guests. I will definitely stay at Crassula's again.
Very tidy, quiet, calming and comfortable accommodation. Walking distance to sea and penguins which made it an unforgettable experience. Owners are genuine, very helpful and friendly. Will visit the place again anytime.
I just wanted to get away from the city and have the opportunity to rest well. The location is ideal for walking along the sea and enjoying nature. The host and hostess received us so warmly and left us to relax wonderfully. We were surprised with delicious muffins to welcome us. The room is beautiful with a view and it was just the right medicine for a getaway weekend!
The room is very cute. Would have been good if there was also milk for the coffee. Enjoyed it a lot.
Very nice stay - thank you.
Crassula was a very comfortable and nice place to stay. The people were also very friendly.
Would recommend this place to any person and age any time of year.
Will go back for the muffins. Enjoyed the quietness and being close to nature. Will definitely go back. Million thanks to the hosts. They made our stay worthwhile.
Crassula is very comfortable and spacious. All that one needs. The owner and his wife are very hospitable and friendly people. Will definitely recommend the place and visit again.
A nice cosy room with the best view and a warm welcome from arrival until departure.
We were welcomed with great kindness by Marianna and Van As. The time there was fantastic and the two of them are very pleasant people. The view is breathtaking and the hiking trails tell a story on their own. We can't wait to visit again. Would recommend to anyone. Perfect for a quick getaway from city life.
I would recommend Crassula to anyone. Friendly, loving, caring couple. Beautiful place, peaceful atmosphere. Service beyond excellence! Neat, clean, spacious place with a beautiful garden.
We had a great time. We were warmly welcomed. The facilities are great. The environment is peaceful and calm and it's a must to visit Van As and Mariaan for a nice visit and stories of the area. I would recommend it to anyone to stay there.
Proficient, professional, thorough booking process. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by our lovey host and hostess who made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond to make our short stay memorable which really enhanced our getaway. We highly recommend Crassula!
See stars.
The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. They had a warm welcoming spirit, me and my partner did not feel out of place or unwelcome. The place was very clean and smelled fresh. The view from the bedroom was beautiful. Me and my partner enjoyed the sight seeing as well. The whole stay was a breath of fresh air.
Incredible experience so be staying near the penguins. Thank you for your hospitality. The delicious treat with home baked rusks, muffins with jam and cheese and also fresh milk for coffee and all ready on arrival. Feeling at home all the time. Spacious and clean unit. Nice! Will come again.
