The property itself is stunning! We loved the big beautiful gardens with tall trees, the playground, the swing and the pool. The setting is secluded and magical. The owners’ dogs were super friendly as well. All of the staff were amazing. The apartment was serviced daily, and any request we had was met quickly. They provided us with fire wood for an evening braai, as well as beach towels, cooler box and beach umbrella for a day out and about. Particularly thoughtful and handy was the box of kids toys left at the door of the apartment which our toddler busy for a while. The WiFi was good, beds comfortable, bedrooms spacious and living room/kitchen well equipped. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much for an amazing stay!

The Houtbay harbour is definetly something for any traveller to experience. World of birds was a great outing our 2 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. The fish market had the freshest fish too with great variety.

Quiet nice town. We ate at a seaside tourist restaurant.

Quiet nice town. We ate at a seaside tourist restaurant. It had great fresh fish and we could walk there on the beach. The least favorite was the haggling and begging at the docks before and after the seal boat ride. This town was our first stop in South Africa and it really represented the divide between wealth and poor. I think to get around you will have to have a rental car. definitly drive part way up the cliff drive, the sceanery and plant life was very interesting.

We stayed in Hout Bay for three nights.

We stayed in Hout Bay for three nights. It's a small fishermen town, very sleepy/peaceful. Yet, there are enough restaurants and bars to find your taste. We were two girls travelling alone, but we felt very safe there. You can easily do some hikes from there, take a walk at Hout Bay Beach, visit Cape Good Hope or Chapmans Peak. Other than that, there is not very much to do. So pick Hout Bay if you want a safe and peaceful stay near Cape Town!

We have been coming to Hout Bay for 20+ years.

We have been coming to Hout Bay for 20+ years. It has been consistently good AND much improved since the fish factory and its occasional stench has shut down. The beach is great. There are plenty of eateries with a range of prices, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. However we were unable to find a "special" place to eat. The Lookout is great for oysters and the fish and chips. We always hire a car. We know the Western Cape and have no problem getting around. Friends ask why we visit The Cape every year to which we reply - "the scenery, the food, the wine, we can watch the Premier League and The Six Nations, they drive on the left and they know how to make tea."

Perfectly located in tranquil Hout Bay next to Tarragona estate, just around the corner of constantia. Very safe, walkable, next to table mountain national park (ask for the pin code), and close to the best restaurants of South Africa (La Colombe or the best pizza at Massimos). Our attic room was cozy, well furnitured and we had our own hot tub running at perfect temperature. Complete property is off the grid with solar power.

The best thing about the property is the location to the beach - literally a walk over the street and you’re on the beach front. If it wasn’t for that I would rate this a lot lower. The location pushes this rating up - if you’re planning to be off property most of the time on the beach, 💯 worth the cost. If not - I suggest finding a different place.

It was a self catering apartment, however I did not see on the booking site that our room had no sea view at all.
