Welcome to Family Board N Stay

Where surf, soul, and family come together.

Meet Benny, Pascale and Atea — a Belgian family who traded the fast European pace for the rhythm of the tides in Pringle Bay, South Africa. We followed our hearts to create a space that feels like home — for us, and for you.


Made with heart, meant to feel like home.

We believe in living with intention, choosing connection over convenience, and creating a space where families, couples, and digital nomads can slow down, breathe deep, and be present. Family Board 'n Stay isn’t just a guesthouse — it’s your home far away from home.


Our name tells our story:

  • Family — Ours, and yours. Everyone belongs.
  • Board — Surfing is our shared passion. Lessons and rentals available! 
  • Stay  — A place to connect and feel at home.

Review
I stayed in the cottage for about 10 days, and it was an unforgettable experience. The perfect blend of healthy food, great surf, and stunning natural surroundings. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The house is ideally located at the start of breathtaking hiking trails around Hangklip. When it comes to surfing, the hosts are more than happy to guide you to the best spots and provide all the gear you need. Wonderful people, cozy rooms, and an atmosphere that makes you never want to leave. I definitely recommend staying at Family Board 'n Stay.

This bed & breakfast is amazing! Owners Pascale & Benny welcome you with an open heart and make you feel immediately at home. They’re making their dream come true in Pringle Bay and it’s absolutely beautiful how they have turned the house into a cosy stay. It’s located close to the ocean and you have everything you need nearby. They love to help you plan your day trip (check out the penguins at Betty’s Bay) or just supporting you during your vacation. I really recommend this B&B!
