Our Story
We the owners are the Clayphan family from Yorkshire in England who moved to Johannesburg South Africa in 2003 with my husband’s job. We quickly fell in love with this beautiful country and subsequently in 2005 we built a holiday home in Mossel Bay on the Garden Route. Our daughter Daisy grew up in SA from the age of 6 and went to school in JBG and Mossel Bay, before finishing her education in Dubai where we all moved to for 5 years, Daisy started baking from 4 years old with her granny Marjorie in England who started her off on baking cupcakes! Whilst in Dubai Daisy developed even more of a passion for food after dining in many top class restaurants there and meeting Gordon Ramsay on her 14th birthday and so set her sights on becoming a chef. She then went on to study a culinary arts degree at Buxton in Derbyshire in England and dreamed of having her own place to fulfil her dream.
Why Betty's
In July 2017 we bought this beautiful old building in Mossel Bay central and renamed it Betty's in honour of Betty my husbands dear mother. Betty loved fine China teacups and loved to bake, that’s why at Betty's Boutique Hotel you will always enjoy our food on pretty china plates, cake stands and silver teapots and white tablecloths.
What's Next
Now Daisy has married Lewis and they have an adorable little boy called Leo.
