82 guests' feedbackOur 2nd visit to Heavens Door, can definitely recommend it to anyone. The sea at your front door!
The sea view, the mountains and the beauty of nature around you make it the nicest place to stay. Heaven's Door is a characterful place to stay.
The whole stay was perfect. Great weather and view. Fully furnished and very comfortable. Will be back again.
What an amazing accommodation! And the views are amazing! True tranquility at its best!
We had a great stay, the house has everything you need, is clean and tidy. Beautiful view while sitting on the stoep and grilling. Nice place!
Clean, friendly, fantastic view.
It was our first time in Betty's Bay and we were pleasantly surprised! It's wild and breathtakingly beautiful! Heaven's Door is in the front row and one is unaware of any neighbours. One wakes up in the morning and goes to sleep at night with the calming therapy that only the sea can offer. The house is spotlessly clean, well equipped and the beds comfortable. It is highly recommended.
Lovely holiday home on the rocks. We sat on the porch all day and watched the waves break.
See stars.
Had a great time. Felt very safe, location is amazing, house well equipped.
Accommodation is suitable if you're looking for a break away and need some peace and quiet. Beautiful views of the sea.
The location of Heaven's Door is perfect. The waves break right in front of the house and you fall asleep to the sound of the waves. The view is beautiful. The house is old but clean and comfortable. More than enough space for a large family. We really enjoyed the holiday.
The house is beautifully situated, directly next to the sea, where the waves are constantly breaking over the rocks. The house is spacious and equipped with everything needed for self-catering. It looks a little tired and it's just a shame that the windows don't seem to have been washed for a long time. One can only see the beautiful sea badly. We understand that the damp sea air will still attack the windows, but before each new visitor comes, the landlord should clean the windows once, as in other places by the sea that we have rented.
We absolutely love staying at Heaven's Door. This was our third visit this year, and we have also had friends who booked in this year. Breathtaking views, tranquil and the best place for peace and quiet. The best.
Heaven's Door is breathtaking - you cannot get a better seaside location. The accommodation is rustic and down to earth, yet very comfortable and all you need. Lovely inside fireplace and outside braai area. This is the ideal location to get back to one's roots and breathe. We will definitely be back - hopefully for a longer stay as well. Once at Heaven's Door, you just don't want to leave!
Terribly nice stay. Thank you very much Talitha for your hospitality.
Breathtaking views, peace and quiet. The calming effect of the ocean is unbelievable. Perfect place to spend with family or friends. Lots to do, good eating places, and gift shops. Loved every minute of our stay.
Visited with my wife for a few nights. She loves to find spots with big splashing waves. Well, she was riveted. The house is perfectly situated, and well-equipped to make any stay super special and memorable. I foresee us visiting again.
The weekend was unforgettable, one of our most memorable breakaways. Stunning views, peace and tranquillity, and lots to do in the area. This place is highly recommended. Loved it, looking forward to my next visit.
We enjoyed the feeling of being in nature and having the beach in the backyard. The house is neat and has everythingyou need to feel at home. Definitely recommend it for people who want to get away from the city and just enjoy some peace and quiet.
We were 2 families, all adults, and we used all the rooms and beds. The local area is very pretty and nice for beach and garden walks. The host was very helpful, before we arrived and during our stay, made us feel very welcome. A good destination for getting away from the hustle and bustle of busy life, very relaxing.
You can't get any closer to the sea, absolute peace of mind.
You can't get any closer to the sea. Lovely fireplace for winter evenings and a nice big coffee table for game nights. Large family dining room table for breakfast with a view of the sea. We would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the area even more.
Lovely, peaceful. See the sea and rocks all day and hear the waves breaking here 24 hours a day. Blissful and good for the soul.
Beautiful sea views and peaceful atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Heaven's Door. We will definitely want to pay a visit there again.
Breathtaking view from almost everywhere in the house, spacious rooms, large farm kitchen, neat garden, nothing will change.
The sea, wind and frogs play an incredible symphony, day and night. The evenings are nice and dark to be able to see the stars and the milky way. Absolute rest for the soul.
Heaven's Door has a perfectly wonderful location. You only hear the sound of the waves and the sea. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Beautiful sea view. On the water. Fully furnished 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. Every day we went to harvest fresh mussels on the rocks. Quiet and peaceful. Sleep with open windows and the sound of the sea. It feels like you are knocking on heaven's door. Food for an inhibited, domestic soul.
Beautiful view and quiet.
We had a great time at Heaven's Door and will definitely go again. There is also a single flight of stairs to the rooms and living area - in case older people come along.
The place is ideal for a peaceful getaway. With the fireplace in the sitting area and the sound of the waves, one cannot help but experience peace and tranquility. The children enjoyed themselves and ran around on the lawn in front of us while admiring the sea.
Talitha was very helpful and friendly.
Truly a beautiful destination!
It was really worth it to enjoy such a getaway weekend with my husband. The peace and quiet with the sea in the background is very good for the soul. Thank you very much we will definitely go and relax there again.
The house was nice and clean and we really enjoyed the fireplace.
If you want to relax and cut off completely from the busy city life, come to Heaven's Door. Very private home, with the ocean on the porch. At night you'll get an awesome display of the stars while the waves crashing on the rocks. Throughout the house you'll find quotes which I totally loved. Baboon warning signs on the doors. Although the baboons never pitched while we were there, when we left. We saw them crossing the road. Talitha thank you again for opening your home.
Betty's Bay is perfectly situated to nearly villages and nowhere as crazy busy as Hermanus. House is stunning.
Would love to visit there again. The reception was very friendly. The house is large and spacious with all the amenities needed. It is located a few meters from the sea with beautiful views. We had a great stay, had a great barbecue and had a great time. Heaven's Door we will see again in the future.
Absolutely delicious please. Back garden with lawn and patio is very private and leads to the rocks (providing hours of fun for children) and the majestic sea. House is wonderfully comfortable and has everything one needs. Will definitely want to visit here again!
It really was heaven on earth. The view was fantastic. I would recommend these places to anyone.
The house was comfortable, and met all our needs. Very special location and would love to come back in summer.
Lovely spacious house, well equipped with all necessities. Nice stoep with a braai - a definite must for the soul.
Very close to the sea, your soul and everything gets rest.
It was our first time in Betties Bay and did not regret for a moment that we booked with Heavens Door. The view over the sea is breathtaking and the silence there is definitely what one needs. We would love to stay there again anytime. Many thanks to Talitha.
All in all, a wonderful stay!
The location was perfect. The accommodation was sufficient. We did have an issue with hot water though. It's an easy drive to Kleinmond and Hermanus from there. We had terribly cold weather on our weekend stay. But the house was cosy and warm.
We had a great rest.
A really, really great place to stay. Friendly, warm, quaint and peaceful. Stunning views of the sea. Thank you.
Beautiful area. Will come back.
We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the sea and rocks a lot.
Heaven's Door did not disappoint ─ the photos on the website are exactly what we got. A lovely family home, right on the sea, well equipped and comfortable. We really enjoyed the fireplace. We will definitely stay here again!
Lovely, peaceful place to stay by the sea. Surfers invigorate the soul.
We really enjoyed our stay, and wish we could have stayed one more day, but unfortunately had to go back to work. Both children and parents enjoyed, because children could play on the rocks right in front of the house, while parents could enjoy their coffee/tea while watching the children from the comfort of the house. The fireplace also worked overtime, not smoking at all.
Location was beautiful, unfortunately the owner lives on the property, the kitchen back door is what divides the 2 living quarters, it is an invasion of privacy having paid for a private space but knowing that someone is hanging laundry while you are braaing. This time we drove to Kleinmond for a restaurant. Good service in Kleinmond.
Very quiet, will come back again.
Heaven's Door portrays serenity from the moment you walk through the door. The house exhumes warmth and hospitality. It is equally suited for a couples getaway as for a family getting back to basics. Sipping hot chocolate at the "coffee shop" on the rocks is pure bliss. The library of books is pure heaven and tucking in under a blanket with interesting reading matter is music to the soul.
Heaven's Door is a beautiful place right next to the sea. The house is spacious and very tidy. Beautiful view of the sea. Truly a place to relax and regain strength for life's demands on a person.
Heaven's Door is exactly as the name says: Heaven! From the friendly hostess upon arrival until we left was just breathtaking.
Heaven's Door is really a very nice place located right on the sea with beautiful views. There is everything in the house that is needed, and there is a lot to do in the area. I would highly recommend Heaven's Door, and it is also very affordable.
Ons het 'n lieflike tydjie by Heaven's Door gehad. Wonderlike ligging en baie gerieflik.
Lovely stay with the rocks and sea for company. Thalita was very accommodating and helpful. We can definitely recommend Heaven's Door.
Very comfortable accommodation right on the sea. Wonderful place to unwind. Beach and mountain / river walks in close driving proximity. Very friendly reception from Talitha (manager).
Very nice stay, would just pay attention to the beds/pillows. Suffered proper spasms.
Heaven's Door is set in the most beautiful location, right on the beach. The kids loved the rock pools in front of the house. Cutlery, crockery and glassware could do with an upgrade but overall everything was clean and in working condition. We will definitely go back, just for that view.
We went there for some real R&R. The location to the ocean, the views, layout of the house all added to an incredibly relaxing 5 days. It was perfect for that!
The location of the house is excellent. The arrival time is only at 15:00 in the afternoon and we were willing to pay extra to book in early, because our family's flight was at 10:00 the morning already and we had a to go directly to Betty's Bay from the airport. The declared that we could not make such an arrangement. We were not welcomed when we arrived an hour earlier en had to wait outside until 15:00. They sent us a long list of the coffee shops and restaurants where we could wait. All the places were closed because this is outside of the busy season. The house has all the basic things one needs. There was, however, a lot of things with notes and rules on them. It does not create a tranquil environment.
The location was fantastic, stunning views, the house was so neat. Definitely worth it for anyone, young and cold.
We had a great time. The location is something special.
See star rating.
Beautiful place. But when they say there is DStv you expect the Sports Channels. Otherwise what's the point.
Unbelievable place to stay - Right on the rocks, quiet, peaceful and relaxing.
Great location, but the place could do with a facelift. Our holiday spirit took a hit on day one when we checked in due to unfriendly drivers. I was told 3 times in 3 minutes that I was not allowed to smoke in the house and that was about all that went through my head for the rest of the week. Notes pasted in absolutely all places to show what you can and can't do - "bootcamp"'s Moses. We did enjoy the privacy and seclusion immensely, with the waves breaking right in front of you on the rocks. The facilities are sufficient for self-catering.
My sisters and I enjoyed this accommodation thoroughly - would recommend it and will stay here again. We had a nice visit with Talitha.
We had a nice stay. Great, friendly, professional service. Nice house for kids and amazing location. We watched the penguins and went to the botanical garden - both easily accessable from the guesthouse.
The house is in a perfect location and one can get lost staring at the ocean. Very neat and clean, albeit not modern. Everything was available and in working condition. I would however suggest to the owners that they install a second shower in the house as it was rather challenging for five adults to cope with a single shower which, to complicate matters, lead off the main bedroom. Will definitely return. Had an amazing relaxing stay.
Please see the stars.
Heaven's Door is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited. It is neat, spacious and has a breathtaking view right on the ocean. The hostess is very friendly and did an excellent job.
See the stars.
Value for money, can't complain about the house at all, my family and I enjoyed it! Might make the TV a little bigger.
Heaven's Door is the perfect place if you and your family want to relax. The area is beautiful and very quiet. Talitha was friendly and very helpful. Will definitely visit the house again with my family and will recommend it to others.
