Conveniently situated 150m from the beach and the Wharfside® Grill. It is a few minutes’ drive to Llandudno & Clifton beaches, a 2-minute drive to the Bay Harbour Market with it shopping and fabulous selection of food and live band, close to the beautiful Chapmans Peak Drive at the beginning of the route to Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope National Park, many great hikes, wine estates and too many interesting adventures to mention here. The bus route is on Harbour Road and Uber is available. Stop no. 24 is outside the Mariner's Wharf in Harbour Road for the red double-decker tourist busses - they run every 30 minutes from 11am till 17:50pm. PLEASE NOTE: 1)The Nook @ Leehaven is a downstairs unit. You enter via the pedestrian gate, down a path on the side of the house and enter via a sliding door. You will have access to our garden and our animals. If you do not like animals, please do not book The Nook. We have 2 dogs and 4 cats who will love to welcome you to their space.

There is Netflix available on a FHD flat screen smart TV. Complimentary Wi-Fi internet. Usually serviced Mon, Wed, and Fri, or on request. The property is secure with beams, electric fence, and a security gated entrance to the apartment. The units are attached to the main house and therefore you may hear some normal house noise.
I have run AppleBee Guest Cottages and taken bookings for 1 on Ross in Grahamstown for the past 13 years, and so have been involved in the hospitality trade for some time. I love the interaction with varied guests and look forward to welcoming guests to Leehaven. These units are perfect for a single/couple to spend time in and around Hout Bay. Having just moved to Hout Bay in June 2022, I am still new to the area and learning about it. There is so much to see and do in Cape Town that I feel like I am permanently on holiday - it is such a beautiful part of the world.
Just 1.5km from Mainstream Shopping Mall with banks, supermarkets, and restaurants. Hout Bay has much to offer. A well-known bird park, a castle and the beach are just a few of the most popular attractions. The Lichtenstein Castle is a replica of the Gothic Schloss Lichtenstein Castle in southern Germany and is available for Events. This is a unique setting with African mountains and a gothic Castle which offers something different for travellers and locals. As with most places around Cape town, hikes form a massive part of things to do on a sunny day. Hout Bay corner is one of the most popular hikes and can be completed in under 2 hours. The beach is also on the top of most people’s lists and is well worth a visit. The most popular place to visit for locals is the Hout Bay market. Food, drinks, live music and interesting people are always on show at this cool local market. THE WHARFSIDE® GRILL is regarded as one of Africa’s best seafood restaurants, not only for its authentic harbourside ambience and spectacular bay views, but because of the amazing food it serves - the lobsters, the prawns, fisherman's baskets and innovations like Calaprawnia® and Houtbaisse® have made it famous. It is open for a fisherman's breakfast, lunch and dinner. RED BUSSES CAPE TOWN (stop outside the Wharfside Grill - 150m from Leehaven) You hop on and discover your destination from open-top buses, hop off to explore further enjoying Day Tours to Cape Point and the Wine Country led by a passionate local guide. Tours to Seal Island depart from the local harbour and are exceptionally well priced. We are situated close to all the Super yacht Training Academies including the 2 Oceans Training Academy, Super Yachting Nautical Careers, and Professional Yacht Master Training Cape School for those completing courses.
