Ein Juwel in Hout Bay mit superfreundlichen Gastgebern.
Die Gastgeber war unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Es war super sicher und es ist ideal wenn man das erste Mal in Südafrika ist und sich noch etwas unsicher sein sollte. Toller Garten, wunderbares und leckeres Frühstück

Sue and Martin are great hosts. The property is lovely and in a very nice part of Hout Bay. Really comfortable stay
Perfect breakfast served on the verandah. Good sized room with thoughtful facilities.
Top Lage und super Gastgeber....kommen sicherlich wieder
The continuing care of both the hosts and staff
Convenient location, surrounded by lush greenery, with the air filled with its beautiful, fresh scent. The terrace offers stunning views of the mountains and the sea. The rooms themselves are full of character, preserving their authentic atmosphere. They are very comfortable to stay in and immaculately clean. Martin and Sue are incredibly welcoming and caring hosts. They serve the best breakfasts in the world. We stayed here during the New Year holidays and truly felt like we were at our parents’ home.
Es ist traumhaft schön hier. Alles ist liebevoll bis ins kleinste Detail eingerichtet. Sue und Martin sind unbeschreiblich liebe, aufmerksame und hingebungsvolle Gastgeber. Allein die tägliche Zubereitung des Frühstücks, serviert auf der Veranda ist ein Traum. Danke für Alles.
Es war alles perfekt.
Trivelig vertskap og nydelig terasse og basengområde.
Litt tungvint med lang trapp opp til rom med tung koffert.
Ein wundervoller Aufenthalt in einem Haus mit besonderem Charme. Die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll im Kolonialstil eingerichtet und strahlen eine warme, elegante Atmosphäre aus. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der hervorragende Service der Gastgeber, die mit großer Herzlichkeit und Aufmerksamkeit für unser Wohl gesorgt haben. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet: eine große Auswahl, hochwertige Produkte und alles frisch zubereitet. Dank der sehr guten Lage ist das Hideaway zudem ein idealer Ausgangspunkt.
Das Frühstück ist perfekt und die netten und informativen Gespräche mit den Gastgebern super. Man fühlte sich familiär aufgehoben! Wirklich schön, besonders auch der gepflegte Garten und die Lage. Gerne will ich wiederkommen.
wonderful hosts Martin and Sue
An excellent breakfast was served on a private balcony with views of the sea and mountains. Hosts went out of their way to make you feel welcome, plus the extra mile when I needed some help. Room was fabulous.
Martin and Sue are fabulous hosts. The room was lovely with great views. Breakfast was excellent.
What a beautiful property with gorgeous gardens. Sue and Martin were relaxing hosts, providing a delicious breakfast and helpful guidance as to our itinerary. It was a special way to start our holiday in South Africa. Lots of room to unwind . Attentive hosts and our kitchenette , living room , bathroom and bedroom were cleaned every day.
Good location private but quiet
Nothing
We had a large, nicely furnished room that opened onto a terrace overlooking the garden. Breakfast was served on the terrace and was delicious with healthy options. The garden is stunning and we loved sitting outside in the evening. Martin and Sue were very knowledgeable about the local area and their tips enhanced our stay. They were particularly kind in helping us arrange a doctors appointment when one was needed.
We can’t think of anything we didn’t like!
Relaxing situation with great hosts
Nothing
We loved the Hout Bay Hideaway. We stayed in the ocean facing room which was perfect. Great breakfast and hosts. We would stay again as we liked the position near the town. Excellent!
Nothing
We loved our stay here, Sue & Martin were so helpful and lovely, and made us feel so at home. Our room was very comfortable, with wonderful views and a big terrace with a fantastic view to the sea. A perfect morning yoga and breakfast spot. Gorgeous garden and pool area too… we thoroughly recommend Hout Hideway , thank you so much .
All good
Location superb, away from busy areas yet close enough to walk. Sue and Martin saw to our every need and were the perfect hosts.
Some noise from neighbouring properties, but this is being picky.
Where to start, everything about this little hideaway was magical! The location is secluded and quiet, with a spectacular view. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is scrumptious. The bed is comfy. The water pressure in the shower is just perfect. Everything is super clean. And wait until you discover the secret kitchen in your room!
This is just a note for travelers who don't have a car and rely on uber. You will struggle to get a car from Hout Bay in the evenings. Getting to Hout Bay is not an issue at any time though.
Breakfast on veranda overlooking beautiful garden below with seaview and mountain in distance. Hosts were marvellous and did all they could to make stay enjoyable.
The accommodation is absolutely beautiful. Our hosts are delightful and very welcoming. Everything about our stay was really lovely and we would definitely be more than happy to stay there again. The breakfast is delicious. A hidden gem of luxury accommodation.
The property is in a stunning location surrounded by trees on a hill overlooking Hout Bay. Our room was very spacious and delightfully furnished, complete with a small integrated kitchen. Outside there is a huge balcony with dining furniture and loungers where you can sit and relax in a lovely, peaceful setting. Our hosts Sue and Martin were warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely stay there again
Nothing
Sue and Martin are hospitable and warm-hearted people. They do their utmost to make your stay as pleasant as possible and make you feel at home. The property is nicely located in a wooded and safe area without through traffic. The house itself is tastfully decorated. Our room and the adjacent bathroom were very big. The room also included a built-in pantry (behind closable doors), with coffee and tea facilities, a small refrigerator and a micro wave. The extensive and tasty breakfast was served outside on the balcony. Parking possibilities in the garage or on the street in front (also very safe). Close to restaurants and shops in the center of Hout Bay and other locations such as Camps Bay, Chapman's peak and Capetown center and water front.
The TV did not work, which we did not find a problem. But the room facilities mentionned a TV. This was the only minus
It was absolutely wonderful We were so spoiled by Sue and Martin Beautiful suite amazing views and delicious breakfast on our patio every morning The hosts couldn’t do enough for us A lovely couple made us feel so welcome Will definitely go back Thank you both
The breakfast was well-presented and tasty. Very quiet area with a beautiful view of the mountain and garden.
Breakfast was set outside on the patio, on a rainy or chilly day it might pose a problem for guest comfort as there is no dining area other than the patio. We had cold water showers for two days running as the element in the geyser blew. It should have been fixed the same day as there are emergency providers in Houtbay - no excuse! The bed was not made every day, the linen was just pulled straight.
Spacious room and private veranda. Owners were very friendly and helpful.
Nothing
A gem of a place to stay - hidden away on a residential street, wonderful views, beautifully furnished. Sue and Martin are lovely hosts - kind, warm and full of good tips. We loved being in Hout Bay, it felt liked an oasis after a day in the city.
Nothing!
We loved the location & the room was spotlessly clean. Our hosts were warm & welcoming. We loved having a leisurely breakfast on the veranda each morning. We will be back to stay the next time we go to South Africa and will definitely stay longer to take advantage of staying in this special place.
Nothing we did not like
Hout Bay Hideaway is an oasis of beauty and tranquility. Martin and Sue are exceptional hosts and we loved chatting with them. We will always remember the exceptional breakfasts served on our balcony looking out on Hout Bay. Thank you.
We really loved the location. Close to the village in a safe area and and fantasic room with porch and swimming pool in front.
We really did have any have anything to mention
Lovely hosts, wonderful home, great location. The pool, deck and the breakfast served on the deck were a dream. Spacious room with little kitchenette and super comfy bed. Safe parking inside garage. And last but not least, gorgeous artworks around the house! Thank you for the wonderful stay!
Clean, nice decorated and spacious room with private terrace. Sue and Martin, the lovely hosts, were helpful and made you feel more than welcome. Quiet surroundings but Cape Town, sights and great wineries/restaurants close by. Next time when we are in Cape Town we will return.
Sue & Martin are the most perfect hosts you could imagine. The hideaway is cosy, quiet and in a fantastic location. Anyone who has had their first breakfast on the balcony with a marvellous view knows what I'm talking about. Sue & Martin are simply enchanting and are happy to help and advise. The hideaway is perfect for excursions to Cape Point, the Waterfront, Table Mountain etc. We can recommend it without any doubt and if we are in the area again, we will stay with them again. Best regards to both of them again and thank you!
The house is in a quiet, secluded location, but only a short stroll (or very short drive) from town. Our well equiped spacious room looked out onto a lovely green, hillside garden; plentiful birdsong and butterflies. We breakfasted and "sundowned" each day on a veranda directly outside our room. It was all delightful. Msrtin and Sue, the hosts, were charming, friendly and helpful in all things. We could not be more pleased we stayed at Hout Bay Hideaway and will do so again if/when we revisit the area.
There is nothing that I can think of.
We loved our stay at the Hideaway, lovely and spacious room, comfortable bed, nice view and beautiful pool area. Breakfast was very tasty! Parking is free and you can park safely in the street, very quiet area. The hosts are so lovely, kind and humorous, we felt very welcome, thank you!! Hout Bay is a great part of Capetown with a beautiful beach and a few nice restaurants and shops.
Nothing, we loved everything.
The location and staff were fantastic

fantastic hosts. great location. comfortable room and great facilities. really enjoyed our stay.
From the moment of our arrival Sue and Martin made us feel at home. The room was Iovely and the property is in a very peaceful location. breakfast was also delicious. i shall look forward to my return trip.
We stayed 3 weeks at Martin and Sue's amazing place. This is one of the best places we've ever stayed at in South Africa. The place was clean and neat with beautiful details in the room. The breakfast was simply divine and the pool extremely good. Martin and Sue were the most caring, warm and welcoming hosts and we highly recomend this amazing place ! We will definately come back.

We loved the location of Hout Bay Hideaway, the layout of our room and the balcony, the pool and the garden, the wonderful breakfasts but most of all the warmth of the welcome from Martin and Sue.
Nothing at all.
peaceful & quiet, surrounded by nature, friendly and welcoming owners, delicious breakfast
wonderful location and very comfortable
really nothing
the photos don't it justice...Sue and Martin can't do enough for you...the rooms are full of tasteful coordinated classy beautiful furniture and decoration.. breakfast was exceptional...
the pool could have done with a clean but hey ho... we didn't care... I didnt know what was soap or shampoo in the dispensers so a label would have been helpful. the guest house is on a steep hill so take care but this is not a complaint...just to be aware thoes who read this...if I have to pick holes and search the skies for a complaint...ha ha time to varnish the outside wood ... but honestly....can you complaint about that?
