A little bit of Eden in Hout Bay

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 go above and beyond to provide a sanctuary of calm.

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.

The perfect place to relax and unwind, also for exploring Cape Town and the surrounding area

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 .

Perfect little hideaway

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!

Beautiful, spacious house with stunning views

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
