Accoglienza, struttura, posizione, praticamente perfetto !
Clean room, very well presented. Scenery from room brilliant. Tom the owner went out of his way to be helpful.
La guest house ha parcheggiato privato in zona tranquilla e residenziale. La vista è meravigliosa, camere molto carine. Colazione abbondante e con cuoca presente. Le aree comuni sono molto accoglienti, tutto è sistemato in modo davvero piacevole. La spiaggia di Hout Bay è a tre minuti in auto. Consigliatissimo!
Unfassbar schönes Zimmer und atemberaubender Ausblick beim Frühstück 🤩
A lovely breakfast with really friendly staff. A great place to explore Cape Town and the surrounding area from.

The breakfast
Our room needed it carpet being that the entire room was tiled.

Beautiful property with a lovely view! The breakfast was delicious with a lot of options to choose from. The staff was very sweet and helpful. Would love to stay longer!
The room was smaller, but nice and cozy and had everything we needed.

Lovely unexpected gem in Hout Bay. Friendly welcome from the staff. Really lovely, comfortable room. Delicious breakfast. I'd definitely rebook and stay at this guesthouse again. I also had a massage at the spa, which was utterly wonderful.
I wasn't given the WiFi when I checked in, so had to hunt that down. The shower water was warm but not hot, despite being fully set on the hot setting.
The staff were very good, friendly and helpful.
The shower door was broken and no national TV programmes.
Das Hotel kann zum Frühstück mit einem spektakuläres Blick über die Bucht aufwarten. Dazu gibt es noch einen herzlichen Service. Die Zimmer sind groß und modern eingerichtet. Bei Fragen zur Umgebung steht Thomas bereit und hilft gerne bei der Tagesplanung.
Das Bad hätte ein kleines bisschen größer sein können, aber okay.
Petit déjeuner servi en terrasse et particulièrement bien cuisiné par une jeune cheffe.....bravo ! Super salon où l on peut se détendre dans une déco de bon goût Située en hauteur, ,la terrasse permer une vue panoramique de toute la baie
Amazing and scenic breakfast. Lovely, safe, and central location. We walked to the harbour and enjoyed the location immensely.
The room and bathroom is very basic and small. It was a bit misleading when looking at the pictures online. Nonetheless, still comfy and clean.
Breakfast was soooo good.
Beautiful views, great location, neat and modern rooms and facilities. On site manageress Extremely friendly and welcoming!

We loved the room and the view.The breakfast was great .We felt safe and at home .Would recommend!
We liked everything
Quartier et cadre magnifique. Décoration de la maison superbe et service du personnel exceptionnel. Petit déjeuner incroyable cuisiné en direct. Chambre très spacieuse et vue magnifique sur la baie d'Houtbay.
Des prises électriques dans la salle de bain pourraient faciliter l'emploi de rasoir ou du sèche cheveux.
Great stay! Super clean, friendly staff, and annamazing breakfast to start the day. Would definitely come back. Highly recommend!
There were lots of cosy areas to relax and enjoy the view. The breakfast was delicious, my room was well furnished with a very comfortable bed, and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Love this place Breakfast was delicious and the stuff was friendly, lovely place
Uitzicht, ontbijt, kamer algemeen.
Geen bijzonderheden.
Good location. Cheerful staff.
Nuestra experiencia en este alojamiento ha sido maravillosa. Ya solo por el desayuno y sus vistas merece la pena. Además es una zona muy tranquila, ideal para descansar. Las zonas comunes son muy agradables. El personal también fue muy atento y encantador, fueron muy acogedores. La habitación que nos tocó era muy espaciosa, la cama era comodisima, estaba todo limpio y las sábanas eras muy suaves. Nos hubiese gustado quedarnos alguna noche más. Volveremos!!!!!
Absolutely loved this place! Great staff, beautiful views, room and facilities were clean and comfortable. Peaceful area. A real homely feel, very chilled out. 10 min walk to the harbour

Wunderschöne Aussicht, liebevolles Personal, tolles Preis - Leistungsverhältnis ! Haben und super wohl gefühlt!!
Great location with fantastic views. Large kitchen area for guest to use if they want. Good pool area to relax.

La maison d’hôtes est extraordinaire pour la vue ! Par contre , les propriétaires devraient mettre un processeur à l’architecte ! Une très belle chambre d’environ m2 et une salle de bain de 2 m2 . Les toilettes sont collés au lavabo , qui bouge dans les sens , le miroir pas en face du lavabo , difficile pour se raser , lavabo minuscule . Je n’arrive pas à comprendre car la chambre est magnifique. Photos à suivre
La salle de bain !
Nice view from the common area, spacious common area, good breakfast, nice staff
We had a tiny room (no 5) which had no window above the bed as shown on the photos, plus a bit noisy. Bathroom was not comfy, water did not run off well in the shower. Sink very low. For more than one person with a lot of luggage hard to handle. Taken all of this into consideration, it was too expensive.

Klein en stukken douche en wasbak
Staff were lovely and helpful. Food was amazing and the view sets you up for the best morning
The location of our room was sideways, a bit wierd and rather small. But it was clean
The views from the communal areas were lovely, the breakfast was cooked to order, the cabana by the pool was comfortable and Thomas the owner was very nice.
Rooms were a little smaller than we had imagined.
Cleanliness and the breath taking views
Neat and tidy, was only there to sleep as arrived late and left early.
The fact that breakfast was only served from 8AM. 7AM would have been better. I had to leave before 8 so could not enjoy the breakfast, hence me rating the value for money lower. TV was useless, could not find a single channel to watch in room 8
Lovely guesthouse a 15 minute walk from the beach with everything we needed. Fantastic set up for breakfast and lovely food
Schöne Zimmer , exzellenter Blick vom Frühstück aus, nettes Personal. Unkompliziertes Management , wir konnten auch einen late checkout vereinbaren. Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus
1) Wir hatten 2 Zimmer , eines davon hat ein wenig Renovierungsbedarf und die Dusche roch ein wenig nach Abfluss, wenn die Lüftung an war. Zimmer war trotzdem ok . 2) das Frühstück war sehr gut aber nicht abwechslungsreich 3) Pool sehr klein und nicht 100 Prozent sauber
Fantastic place to stay, stunning views and incredible breakfast cooked for you there and then. Nice pool area, don't hesitate to stay here
Die tolle Lage und vor allem die Aussicht beim Frühstücken🤩🤩
Gar nichts🤷♀️
Worth it

Great views from breakfast area. Breakfast was personalized and prepared individually with care.
Tiny room, uncomfortable bed, tiny bathroom. No aircon or fan.
Friendly staff, good brekkie, and room pretty good
Tv way to small, toilet seat loose, and would have liked a bath
Eine gigantische Aussicht aus dem Aufenthaltsbereich. Geschmackvolle Einrichtung.
Die meisten Zimmer haben keine Sicht auf die Bucht, wir hatten eine Teilaussicht aus unserem Zimmer.
The common areas are nice, the rooms definitely are due for an upgrade. The owner is nice and helpful
Rooms looked like new. Super comfortable beds. Very cosy breakfast area with lovely, freshly made food and breathtaking views.
Very nice place
Breakfast was very basic. Not appetising at all. Decided to go somewhere else for breakfast
Very basic. Rooms were clean but small. Tiny bathrooms that are basic.
Das Zimmer war sauber und sehr wohlfühlend, zwar klein aber vollkommen ausreichend, sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Das Frühstück war hervorragend - gerne wieder!
Breakfast was splendid, lovely fresh food and amazing view!!
Die Freundlichkeit, die Lage, das Frühstück - alles 10/10
Super Lage mit Parkplätzen vor der Türe, sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, das Essen war lecker und die Aussicht einfach toll!
Keine Klimaanlage und ein etwas enges Zimmer. Für eine Person absolut ausreichend aber zu zweit könnte es eventuell mit zwei großen Koffern eng werden.
Hebben hier een nacht doorgebracht. De service was uitstekend. Personeel ongelooflijk aardig en behulpzaam. We hadden een heerlijke kamer (nummer 1) met prachtig uitzicht op de bergen. En het uitzicht aan de ontbijtbar was geweldig. Zeker een aanrader.
Mit viel Herz eingerichtet, super bequemes Bett
Parkplätze begrenzt an der Straße vorhanden Kleine Reparaturen wären nötig (fehlende Fenstergriffe z.B.) - das ist aber Meckern auf hohem Niveau ;-) Angebot an Massagen während unseres 3-tägigen Aufenthalts leider nicht nutzbar (geschlossen), obwohl wir am Tag des Check-Ins noch eine Buchungsanfrage per WhatsApp erhielten inkl. Gutschein..das war sehr ärgerlich, da keine Öffnungszeiten publiziert sind und auch während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts keine Reaktion erfolgte auf die Anfrage nach verfügbaren Terminen
Comfortable inside & outside seating areas. Nice background music in the inside common area.
Small rooms. Breakfast good but unorganized.
Bon accueil, chambre confortable avec terrasse avec vue Superbe, petit déjeuner exceptionnel avec œufs à l'avocat. Terrasse pour siroter son café, dont on ne décollerait pas tant la vue est belle. Bons conseils resto
Wunderschönes kleines Zimmer, sehr nette Gastgeber. Super Frühstück mit traumhafter Aussicht.
Sehr schönes Unterkunft mit netten Gastgebern.
Nice tidy, spacious and comfortable room. Amazing breakfast both the incredible maple oats and yogurts and also Fanny the chef's superb skills creating personalised cooked creations!
Nothing!
The guest house is very beautiful and has lovely terraces and living room area.
Our room was very close to the pool and other rooms, so it did not feel private at all…
Heerlijk verblijf met goed ontbijt
Alles was goed
Stunning property with amazing great views and super friendly staff. Feels like home but with 5 star service! Great breakfast.
Nothing everything was perfect
Tout, en particulier l’accueil et la gentillesse du propriétaire et du personnel, très belle chambre et magnifique vue sur la baie

Mooie locatie in Hout bay. Ontbijt was zeer goed en lekker met verse producten.
Parking aan de straatkant, met een iets grotere wagen sta je een stukje op straat.
Clean rooms, relaxed open common space, fantastic breakfast and stunning balcony views.
Super Frühstück, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, bekamen gute Tipps für unsere Tagestour!
Das Zimmer war etwas klein.
