Nestled on the sun-kissed slopes of the Hout Bay valley, our enchanting home invites you to experience Cape Town in all its splendour. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or embarking on your first South African adventure, our cottage promises an unforgettable stay. Here’s why you’ll fall in love with our haven: Breathtaking Views: Wake up to panoramic vistas of lush greenery of Hout Bay. Sip your morning coffee on your private patio as the sun paints the sky in hues of gold and pink. Tranquil Ambiance: Our home exudes serenity. The gentle rustle of leaves, the distant call of birds, and the scent of blooming flowers create an oasis of calm. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Luxurious Comfort: Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by tasteful furnishings and plush amenities. Curl up with a good book, or simply unwind. Every detail has been curated for your comfort. Livery Yard Magic: As the sun sets, venture to our exclusive livery yard. Here, majestic horses are schooled—their grace and power a mesmerizing sight. Imagine watching them from your patio, their hooves dancing on the soft earth. Gateway to Cape Town: Our location is a gateway to Cape Town’s wonders. Explore the iconic Table Mountain, stroll along the V&A Waterfront, or take a scenic drive along Chapman’s Peak Drive. Adventure awaits! Local Flavors: Indulge in local cuisine at nearby restaurants. From fresh seafood to Cape Malay curries, your taste buds are in for a treat. Warm Hospitality: We’re not just hosts; we’re storytellers. Let us share the hidden gems of Cape Town—the tucked-away beaches, the secret trails, and the best sunset spots.
We enjoy meeting travellers and sharing our South African home with them. We are active and can share the secrets of the best places to hike, where to go exploring Cape Town and what wine farms are worth sampling. Unwind, explore, and let the magic of Hout Bay seep into your bones.
Hout Bay, a coastal gem nestled between the rugged mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Here, time slows down, and every moment feels like a whispered secret. Let me paint a picture of what awaits you: Wine Farms & Wineries: Imagine sipping a velvety red while overlooking vineyards that stretch toward the horizon. Hout Bay is your gateway to nearby wine estates. Explore Constantia’s historic vineyards, where centuries-old oaks guard the secrets of award-winning wines. Taste the terroir—the sun, the soil, and the passion of winemakers—bottled just for you. Bird Sanctuaries: For bird enthusiasts, Hout Bay is a symphony of wings. Visit World of Birds, Africa’s largest bird park. Here, vibrant parrots chatter, majestic eagles soar, and cheeky penguins waddle. Capture their beauty through your lens or simply let their calls serenade you. Coffee Shops & Eateries: Mornings begin at cozy cafés, where baristas craft lattes like works of art. Sip your brew as the harbour awakens—the fishing boats bobbing, the salty breeze kissing your cheeks. Later, indulge in seafood feasts at harborside bistros. Fresh fish, buttery calamari, and ocean views—it’s a sensory delight. Chapman’s Peak Drive: Buckle up for one of the world’s most scenic drives. Chapman’s Peak Drive hugs the cliffs, revealing vistas that steal your breath. Each twist and turn unveils a new postcard-worthy scene. Pull over, snap photos, and let the wind tousle your hair. Harbor Adventures: Embark on a boat trip from Hout Bay Harbor. Seal Island awaits—a rocky outpost where playful seals bask in the sun. Watch them dive, flip, and splash. If you’re lucky, dolphins might join the party. Artisan Markets: Sundays come alive at the Bay Harbour Market. Stroll past colourful stalls—handmade jewellery, African prints, and soulful music. It’s a celebration of creativity, and you’re invited. And then, retreat to The Tarragon, your haven. Here, the horses graze and time dances to a slower rhythm.
