About Tribay

Tribay Accommodation was founded in 2012 when the growing need for holiday accommodation in the area became apparent.

The best kept secret of the Tribay Area,  includes the seaside villages of Rooiels, Pringle Bay and Betty’s Bay – ideally located along the scenic R44 coastal drive, a mere hour’s drive from Cape Town past Gordon’s Bay.

The area has much on offer to nature loving holiday guests. Flanked by the exquisite Kogelberg Mountain range to the one side, and the magnificent Atlantic Ocean on the other, Mother Nature puts her best foot forward in providing pristine, beaches where swimming, surfing, fishing, diving and snorkeling opportunities abound.  For the keen outdoor enthusiast, the unspoiled nature reserves beckon one to explore the tranquil surrounds on foot or mountain bike whilst beholding the abundant fauna and flora species it has to flaunt.

A few star attractions in the area and surrounds deserve mentioning: The beauty of the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens; The rare Penguin Colony at Stony Point that calls Betty’s Bay home; The word-class Arabella Spa and Golf Course; and an impressive wine route within close proximity.

After ownership changed hands in 2017, it soon became apparent that various Holiday Homes in the area were in dire need of some loving attention, and the new owner, Monica Soer subsequently introduced a value-add service to the various communities. Henceforth the Tribay Accommodation Portfolio was expanded to include Home Styling and decorating.

The Tribay Accommodation brand further expanded in 2018 when it partnered with the Internationally Acclaimed Airbnb industry, attracting both Local and International tourists to the area.

Tribay  offers accommodation where you can expect clean, well styled interiors, personalized welcome packs and additional special touches. Collaborating with local providers and supporting our own community commerce, we proudly source all our amenities and associated services with great care from the resident network of suppliers.    

Tribay Accommodation satisfies the rising demand for holiday accommodation by providing unique places of various sizes to the discerning Holiday Guest to get away from it all!

About Monica

In 2016 Monica bid a successful career in Human Resources, Labour Law and Financial Management farewell to embark on a journey of a lifetime! Intent on finding new adventures she left the familiar behind, her  entrepreneurial dreams as her only ally. She embraced the unknown and left for a sabbatical – no clear plan other than to solo travel through South-Africa. She explored beautiful places, met amazing people and by pure synchronicity ended up in the unspoilt, best kept secret village of Pringle Bay!

After spending some time with the friendly residents, the opportunity arose for her to acquire the Tribay Accommodation business.

With renewed energy and vigour she embarked on this exciting venture.

With a passion for interior design and a flair for decorating Monica jumped at the opportunity to combine her passion with her dream – restyling homes and holiday accommodation. Providing beautiful spaces where weary souls can relax and rejuvenate in a tranquil environment, surrounded by the beauty of nature – unspoilt beaches, magnificent mountains and scenic countryside walks amidst lush fynbos.

“For as long as I can remember I wanted a Guesthouse, and suddenly I had 20 to manage!” -Monica
