“It is called the 'Best Place ever' for a reason, I would highly recommend it to anyone.”
The perfect location in Hout Bay View, an ideal way to end off a vacation. The place was superb, with everything thoughtfully in place, and the hosts were truly amazing. The views were outstanding, and the sense of peace there is unmatched. Without a doubt, one of the Best Places Ever to visit in the Cape.

The view was perfect, the room was clean and accomodative for us. Just that the was no tv so we had to use our phones so that was a low for us. Otherwise we enjoyed ourselves.

“Value for Money”
Upgraded to the bigger room, would recommend to book the bigger room as it really is bang for buck! Loved the host and hostess! View is as promised! Area isn’t a “township” it’s more like a fishing village and that just added to the charm!

I just spent an unforgettable time at the BEST PLACE EVER in Hout Bay! Beach-facing views that'll take your breath away, stunning sunsets, and an atmosphere that oozes warmth and welcome. But what truly made my stay exceptional was the incredible host, the lovely Alexa and Gabriel! They embodied the true spirit of Ubuntu, going above and beyond to ensure I felt at home. Their attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made my experience truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a slice of paradise in Hout Bay, look no further! The place, the views, and the hosts - everything is just perfect! 🌊🏖️ #HoutBayGem #UbuntuVibes #BeachLife"

The gate doesnt close automatically and the pathway to the entrance could be paved and lit up to assist guests in getting in at night. It would also be great if there was a proper partition or privacy screen between the apartments on the balcony
