100 guests' feedbackVery nice. Thank you for the warm welcome and homeliness.
The host and hostess were very friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with them. Loved the sun room upstairs. Pity we could not stay longer. I loved the sense of humour.
Beautiful view of mountain and sea, as well as a comfortable house with everything you need, made for a wonderful weekend getaway with our children. Can definitely recommend, and will definitely visit again!
Cyara was nothing short of amazing! From the moment our booking was confirmed, we felt welcomed by the hosts who wanted to make sure our arrival was personal. We arrived and felt at home instantly. The photos of Cyara are nothing short of what you see; they are not in any way doctored. The location is central, and you have everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The beds are super comfy, and the views are exceptional and mind-blowing. The perfect location for getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I will definitely return to Cyara when I visit the Overberg again. I simply enjoyed it, and my little family had the best time of their lives. Thank you for being so accommodating.
Very well equipped unit with lots of space and beautiful views to the mountain and sea. The indoor grill was a welcome bonus. Linen, decor and furniture testify to good taste and the internet access was consistently of good quality. Communication was good from the moment the booking was confirmed and during our stay. The host and his wife made an effort to make us feel welcome, without intruding on our privacy. For us as frequent travelers, this was certainly one of the best value for money options so far. Thank you very much for literally thinking of everything to make our stay comfortable.
It was a wonderful stay, with great hospitality. We were private and very comfortable. Thanks to Guy for keeping us informed all the time.
Excellent! Cyara exceeded all expectations. The rule is usually that one expects and gets what one pays for. We found much more than we expected. The furniture and decor are truly rooted in the traditional and evoke the most beautiful nostalgia in any proudly Afrikaans-speaking visitor. Everything (really everything) is spotless, comfortable and well maintained. Add to that an extremely well equipped kitchen, indoor and outdoor barbecue, fantastic view of both mountain and sea. Yes, then you have an excellent guest house for your stay in Betty's. I can testify that none of the photos on the ad have been doctored, this is exactly how it looks there. The location of the house places it at the end of Betty's and therefore facilitates a trip to both Kleinmond or the town center of Betty's. Safety is not even necessary to discuss, sufficient prevention has been taken without making the space feel like a prison. The WiFi is surprisingly fast, so much so that as a visitor you can comfortably use any streaming service, such as Netflix etc. I suggest you leave your decoder at home and instead bring your "TV Stick" or similar, works like a bomb. The internet, lights etc. is not affected by Eskom, thanks to standby batteries (no noisy generators). For everything else (including hot water) there is gas. However, the icing on the cake is the host and hostess. Friendly, hospitable and helpful. respect your privacy and allow you and your family to simply hang out, relax and do your own thing. Again, at this price point, Cyara stands head and shoulders above the offerings in the same category.
View is incredibly beautiful. Will definitely visit there again. If you want tranquility and want to relax, this is the place to be for sure.
Wonderful, peaceful, comfortable accommodation, with a wonderful view of the sea and mountains. Had everything we needed. Owners very friendly and helpful. Fast to Kleinmond, as well as back to Bettysbaai's main section.
Staying at Cyara is everything you wish for for your weekend or holiday. Privacy, the most incredible view with the mountain behind you and the sea in front of you. The cleanliness, space and the friendly reception make you realize, we will have a great stay here! Fully equipped with the nicest indoor barbecue and space for friends and family. Rest in peace with Cyara. You won't regret it.
The owners were very hospitable. We will definitely come back.
House's location is fantastic and we really enjoyed it. House is very neat, beautiful and comfortable.
We were warmly received and had a lovely stay. A nice fire made in the fireplace and a wonderful view of the mountain and sea. Wood creates an authentic atmosphere and the windows are wonderfully large. The beds were comfortable and we were impressed with the "cool" fridges.
Guy and Alta are the absolute perfect hosts to a very stunning home. My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Cyara, beautiful ocean and mountain views, tranquility at its best.
Perfect hosts. Checking up to see whether we were happy. Also keeping us updated with the dreaded Eskom situation. We lacked nothing.
This was a great experience and we wish we could stay longer. To wake up to the sun in the backyards, indoor braai and the beach in the afternoons to a lovely outside supper at night in the warm air. Guy and Alta was amazing, thank you for sharing your other home with us.
Very nice sea view and located in a piece of pristine fynbos.
Our expectation was to rest. It was so wonderful to be able to really switch off with the special view, silence and beautiful, neat space. Thank you very much for the hospitality and special space you have created!
Great views, lovely garden, great braai facilities, great location, ideal for a family with children due to sleeping arrangements.
Just the best relaxation.
Guy and Alta are incredible hosts to the beautiful home which has all the amneties one will need. Gorgeous sunrises and comfortable lounging/sleeping areas.
Hospitality knows no end, neat and comfortable close to other villages in the area.
Loving host and wife!
The location with the mountain behind the house and sea in front of you makes it the ideal place for nature lovers. Top notch hospitality.
Would definitely recommend! Uncle Guy and Aunt Alta are two beautiful people. Is there if you need something, but you have a lot of privacy. Come and go as you please. Thank you it was delicious!
Tranquility, safe, neat, indescribably beautiful view. The friendliest hosts. I will definitely go again.
Our second time there, on the edge of Bettys Bay, with the mountains behind you and the sea in front. There is a lovely lawn at the back where you can sit, barbecue, drink wine and just enjoy the view. Just around the corner from Palmiet river for swimming and cooling off and next to Kogelberg nature reserve. The house itself is set up in such a way that you can literally just turn up with your clothes and food, the rest is there. Such a beautiful view from the living room upstairs to the lovely downstairs. We will be back again.
We would like to go again.
We would recommend Cyara to anyone. Guy and Alta make you feel so welcome and you also have your privacy. The house is well furnished and all amenities are provided. There are two beaches to choose from and lovely places to eat around. We will definitely go there again.
Guy and Alta are great hosts. Two things to bear in mind however are that the house is on the very busy Bettys' Bay, Hermanus road (although not that busy at night) and the bedrooms do not have any natural light. But in the end we still had a great stay.
Cyara is the 2nd to last house outside Betty's Bay, so it easily accessible to get to Kleinmond. Beaches are great for long walks. It has a lovely view of the sea in the distance. Guy and Anro were most welcoming and gave me much privacy for a quiet 3 nights. The house does have stairs, with the main bedroom upstairs, incase you need to know. A great spot.
This isn't a commercial spot built to wow online. Cyara is a real home, built with thought and love. Guy is very modest about the home he's built, but the details for comfortable living have been really finely worked out. The pictures can't do justice to how it feels to be here. We loved the location, on the edge of Betty's Bay and the doorstep of the Kogelberg, with wonderful views you can enjoy in every nook of the house. The fynbos behind the house is a botanical wonderland. We hiked/scrambled up to a cave in the mountain above the house which was a highlight. Guy and his wife were at home during our stay, but we weren't aware of them at all - except when we needed something, when the response was prompt and helpful. I'd warmly recommend this spot to families and friends wanting to spend some quality time with each other and enjoy the quiet beauty of this part of the world.
So much thought has been put into this place. The hosts are so amazing and helpful. Even with stairs they made everything so safe for children. The garden is beautiful and the place is wonderfully clean and nicely equipped. We had a wonderful rest.
See stars.
The location is perfect. You can enjoy long walks and the penguins are close to see. The walking route is beautiful and the coastal route in Gordons Bay is breathtaking.
We went with our 2 teenage grandchildren and our dog, Rambo, and Cyara just suited our needs, perfectly. We love the 2 levels and rustic-ness of Cyara. It was peaceful and relaxing, so much so that we didn't want to leave. We felt safe and it was reassuring to know that Guy and Alta were just next door. They are so hospitable and approachable. Also so lovely that Kleinmond is just around the corner from Cyara. We definitely recommend Cyara for families. If the opportunity arises, we would definitely go back to Cyara. Thank you, Guy and Alta, for making us feel so welcome.
The couple who owns Cyara is lovely and friendly people, who welcome you, show you around and then leaves you to enjoy this beautiful house in this magnificent setting. The house has the feeling of a real family house lovingly lived in and filled with personal items rather than an impersonal lodge or B&B in a coastal town. The house is fully equipped with indoor and outdoor braai facilities, from deck chairs to pots and pans. The rooms are comfortable and the two rooms upstairs have their own living room that looks out on the blue Atlantic. Sitting at the back of the house you have an unspoiled view of the grandeur of the Kogelberge. We'll see you again soon.
The stay was wonderful, and the service received from Guy was second to none. We were kept informed of everything we needed to know (such as the movement of the upperclassmen) everything we needed was there. Will definitely go again!
Guy & Alta are great hosts who were never intrusive. Everything you need from walks, shops & restaurants is within easy reach. House is spacious and the view is spectacular. Will definitely go back again.
Guy and Alta welcomed us very kindly and made us feel very much at home. The Rooi-Els road also has breathtaking views right up to Cyara Huis. As a person who lives in a quiet neighborhood, I can confirm that although you sometimes hear cars passing by, the road next to the house is not disturbing at all. Excellent value for money with comfortable sleeping accommodation, lots of living space and the mountain on your back porch! Thank you very much Uncle Guy and Aunt Alta!
We and our 4-foot children were kindly received and had a wonderful stay. All the daily amenities and more made our stay very pleasant. Location and safety were good. Thanks again to the owners!
We were kindly received by Uncle Guy and Aunt Alta at their piece of heaven on earth. The house offers everything that self-catering requires. Lovely balcony overlooking the sea. We could hear the waves crashing against the rocks all day. With the penguins and Herold Porter Gardens there were also the baboons who provided a lot of entertainment. We can't wait for the next long weekend! Blessings to Uncle and Aunt, angels in our midst.
The owners are honestly the nicest couple I have met in a long time. They treated us like gold and could not have done more for us. We had an amazing time and would definitely return.
Close to all the cute beach towns and Hermanus. Picture pretty.
Cyara is a very comfortable home away from home. Guy and Alta (live in a separate flatlet on the property) are very helpful but don't intrude at all. Will definitely stay there again.
Basic spices in the kitchen is a good idea, otherwise really well equipped! Fantastic hosts!
Right on the main road, not a moments quiet.
Lovely atmosphere and easy to find. Very hospitable owners. Comfortable home from home and ample space for a family. Would definitely recommend a stay there for anyone.
Sea in front, a stone's throw to the water. Beautiful mountain ranges at the back. Highly recommend for those looking to get away and relax. Very friendly owners and they are always willing to do anything or help.
See stars.
We were warmly greeted by the owners! Guy & Alta are so kind & welcoming. We had a lovely time. Spent quality time together as a family and got some much needed rest. The house was spacious, clean & had everything you could possibly need. And the most beautiful sea & mountain views! Massive thanks to Guy & Alta!
For the first time a vacation home felt like home and we didn't want to pack up and drive. Uncle Guy and Aunt Alta's hospitality is the icing on a delicious cake. Absolutely recommend!
Tannie Alta en Oom Guy is die perfekte gashere en het ons hartlik verwelkom by Cyara. Die plek is mooi, baie skoon en ons kon nie beter vra as wat ons ervaar het nie. Ons het ons verblyf by Cyara waarlik geniet en sal teruggaan in die toekoms. Daar is geen woorde om ons dankbaarheid en waardering teenoor Tannie Alta en Oom Guy te beskryf nie.
We were kindly received by Guy and Alta. Everything was perfect and views were beautiful with sea in the front and mountain at the back. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Would definitely recommend Cyara!
The owners are the best you can get. Very hands on and helpful the self-catering is everything you need and is secure and safe. Will definitely recommend to all travellers. Beautiful place.
A warm, family home, with enough space for kids to be free. The owners were also very helpful and accommodating.
We had a lovely stay at Cyara. Everything you would need on a holiday stay was provided for and Guy and Alta were always helpful. The house is stunning with spectacular views.
We had a nice stay. Homely and beautiful views.
All the modern conveniences with the wonderful cozy feel of an old fashioned getaway. Away from the noise and hustle and bustle of everyday life. The natural beauty of the mountain is literally on your back porch with an amazing ocean view on the other side. Guy and Alta are wonderful people, always willing to help and do everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I confidently recommend Cyara to anyone looking for a great getaway away from it all.
We were warmly welcomed. Rooms very neat and clean. We had a great time with these wonderful people and found nothing wrong.
Very friendly people and very nice place to stay. We had trouble with the bike and I lost all my clothes. Uncle Guy just lent me one of his pants, thank you very much for that, uncle otherwise I would have had to live in my bike clothes all weekend. I highly recommend their place, they go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.
It was an excellent view. Very neat. Enjoyed it very much.
We were kindly received by Guy and Alta. The sea view is fantastic.
Best holiday place. We'll definitely come again! Guy and Alta are two of the warmest and friendliest people ever, and really crept deep into our family's heart. Thank you.
We had a very nice stay. Guy and Alta are incredibly friendly people. Nice house with all the necessary amenities. Beautiful setting. I would definitely recommend it.
The view from the house is 360 degrees breathtaking, and is very comfortably furnished. The owners went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. A getaway that we will never forget and will definitely want to do again.
The owners of the place are very nice people. The stay was very nice, a bit short, but very nice. A comfortable, beautiful living area and the view of the green mountains and beautiful ocean is breathtaking. I will definitely book again. The wood finishes are beautiful and very snug and warm. Enjoy the antique lifestyle.
Had a great time. Guy and Alta, thank you very much.
Warm friendly lovely quiet tranquil getaway.
Except for the power outage, we still had a great time. We will definitely come back.
We had a great time at Cyara's place. The view over the sea was beautiful. The girls really enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs in the morning with their tea and biscuits and looking out over the sea. Everything was neat and clean and we will definitely visit again.
What an experience! Lovely break with the sea view in front of the house and the mountain behind. Bonus of more than 30 mm of rain. Owners of the house: warm welcome and go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. If there is Just take your moss with you.
I could not have chosen a better place to stay in Cape Town, thank you so much for your hospitality and for being so welcoming. I will make sure of telling my family and friends, and i will see you guys soon. Thank you in abundance.
Guy and Alta, we can't thank you enough for the wonderful holiday we were able to enjoy at Cyara. Cyara has the most beautiful sea and mountain view, everything in the house is beautiful and comfortable and we enjoyed every second. It is ideal for a family that wants to get away but still want to feel as if you are at home in your own home. Guy and Alta are two lovely people who went out of their way to make everything comfortable for us, you are lovely. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Cyara.
Cyara is well equipped with everything you want from self-catering. The owners are extremely friendly and there were even small pieces of wood for us at the braai. The house is equipped with everything: from a can opener, tongs and grills, camping chairs, a body board to leaflets about the area. There was coffee, tea, milk and biscuits for us in the kitchen. The house is not luxurious, so don't expect luxury. Cyara is ideal for casual people who don't want to spend too much on a getaway. We used Cyara as a base to visit Kleinmond, Stoney Point, Kolegberg Nature Reserve and Harold Porter Nature Park. The view of the sea (front) and mountain (back) is beautiful! We had fun playing cards and hanging out in the upper living area with a view of the sea. The free wifi was strong. The water in the upstairs bathroom was very nice and warm. The gas geyser in the downstairs bathroom and in the kitchen was okay. (Note: there are stairs in the house, but someone who has difficulty with stairs would be able to get along, as the kitchen, one full bathroom and one bedroom (as well as a living area) are located on the lower floor.) Thanks Guy and Alta for a lovely weekend.
Guy and Alta are wonderful people, very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The place is extremely spacious and comfortable. Still, a more modern TV with HDMI connectivity would have been very handy.
We can only speak highly of this place, excellent quality, accommodation comfortable, convenient and excellently clean and tidy, it felt like my own home even though we were miles away from home. Our county's people, loving, hospitable, concerned about their travelers and genuine people of heart are definitely Guy and Alta. A special place in my heart room for the beautiful place. We are definitely going back!
Cyara looks exaclty like the pictures. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Top floor has wonderful sea view. Perfect place if you need to rest.
15 to 17 July 2017 - What an unforgettable weekend. The best view, warm atmosphere and very spacious. Guy and Alta are so hospitable and we really appreciated the electric kettle in our rooms. We look forward to our next visit with you. I would recommend Cyara to anyone looking to get away from the city. Thank you very much Guy and Alta - you are special people.
From the chocolate on the beds, the offer to check-in as early as we want and to leave as late as we want, the book gift, and the fact that they didn't care that we had an extra person in our company, Guy and Alta did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. And I haven't even mentioned the mountain and sea views and the neat, interesting house that had more than what our family needed for a weekend getaway! We will definitely be back, but longer next time!
28 and 29 April 2017 - Guy and Alta, thanks so much for a wonderful time, just a pity it was so short. Equipped with everything you need. View exactly like the pics, beautiful, and what you see is what you get. Fantastic hospitality, we became friend. From the 3 pensioners and the little one.
Nice owners. Value for money and pretty view.
With the mountain behind you and the ocean in front of you, who can't fall in love with Cyara! We really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely be back.
Cyara provides breathtaking views of the ocean and the mountains! Guy and Alta treated us to a warm welcome and were so friendly and helpful. Cyara porvides affordable accommodation and the house is spacious, neat, clean and has everything you need. I certainly recommend it and will book this place again.
Very friendly people. Welcoming and very helpful. Respect your privacy. We really enjoyed the weekend and will stay there again anytime.
Our stay was wonderful. Guy and Alta waited for us at the house and quickly showed us around and made us feel welcome. We had a nice conversation and got good advice on the area. The house is very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The house feels like a home, not just a basic beach house with someone else's leftover furniture that's been shoved into it (and then costs a small fortune). The photos are realistic. The lounges and living area are spacious with beautiful views and the small bedrooms aren't a problem - it's just nice for a good night's sleep with the sound of the waves as a lullaby. We will definitely stay there again, hopefully for longer than just a weekend!
Guy and Alet went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and homely and responded very quickly to inquiries. All their efforts are greatly appreciated.
Uncle Guys and Aunt Alta were excellent. The house is big and really nice with a great sea view. Really value for money and great people.
This was probably one of the best and easiest locations I've ever stayed at along the Rooi Els/Bettys Bay Route. The hosts were amazing and friendly, the place itself is in one of the best spots in Betty's Bay and to top it all off its fitted out to the max with everything you need for a nice peaceful weekend away from the city. Would recommend to anyone looking for a breakaway or more. Thanks Guy and Alta for making us feel more than welcome and making our stay very memorable. We will be back.
Guy and Alta are wonderful hosts and immediately made us feel welcome. The house is very neat and clean with everything you might need. It's located in a beautiful, picturesque area where you can get some peace for your soul from the city noise. I will definitely come back.
The house has everything a family would need on holiday, much more than other holiday homes offer. We had an awesome time.
It was a great weekend. Friendly host. Even though the host lives on the property, our privacy was respected. Amazing sea views. Lovely house. We will be back and highly recommended!
We could not have asked for a better place to stay than this. The fantastic sea view from the house was definitely charming with a nice lived in-atmosphere which made our stay at Cyara very pleasant. A big thank you to Guy and Alta for their friendliness, from the moment we arrived until we left.
My sister and cousins decided on Cyara for a much needed break from the rat race. After a lovely scenic drive from Cape Town we arrived and we welcomed by Guy and Alta, who are the nicest of people. They called a few days before our arrival to check that if we had any special requests. Really a lovely couple. The house was so spacious, really spotless and the view, facing the ocean is surreal. We basically camped out in the lounge, talked and played 30 Seconds (probably a bit noisy but one or two very competitive family members). We did a 10 km hike at the Kogelberg Nature Reserve on the Saturday morning and the view was absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely be back and am so thankful to Guy and Alta for the home away from home.
We were received by very friendly owners, they made us feel very welcome and gave us absolute privacy. The house was very clean and everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend Cyara house if you want to get away from busy life, or just to come and relax as a family too. It met all our requirements. It's your own piece of heaven on earth and with owners like Guy and Alta Roberts you can't make a wrong decision. Again, many, many thanks.
We had a very nice and comfortable stay in a wonderful peaceful area with the most beautiful view of the sea. Cyara is a lovely self-catering unit to go home to on holiday, it's peaceful with a beautiful view of the sea. It is close enough to shops as well as the beach and a nice swimming spot.
Very neat and spacious house. Quiet and peaceful. Had everything we needed. Very nice view. Host and wife were very pleasant and made our time there very comfortable.
The owners of Cyara are lovely and kind! They did everything to make our stay nice and peaceful. Thank you very, very much!
Friendliness and care from owners are much appreciated.
Great venue with incredible views. Guy and Alta were very accommodating.
