    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.

    What a beautiful property with gorgeous gardens. Sue and Martin were relaxing hosts, providing a delicious breakfast and helpful guidance as to our itinerary. It was a special way to start our holiday in South Africa. Lots of room to unwind . Attentive hosts and our kitchenette , living room , bathroom and bedroom were cleaned every day.

    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.

    We can’t think of anything we didn’t like!

    We loved the Hout Bay Hideaway. We stayed in the ocean facing room which was perfect. Great breakfast and hosts. We would stay again as we liked the position near the town. Excellent!

    Location superb, away from busy areas yet close enough to walk. Sue and Martin saw to our every need and were the perfect hosts.

    Some noise from neighbouring properties, but this is being picky.

    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

    Sue and Martin are hospitable and warm-hearted people. They do their utmost to make your stay as pleasant as possible and make you feel at home. The property is nicely located in a wooded and safe area without through traffic. The house itself is tastfully decorated. Our room and the adjacent bathroom were very big. The room also included a built-in pantry (behind closable doors), with coffee and tea facilities, a small refrigerator and a micro wave. The extensive and tasty breakfast was served outside on the balcony. Parking possibilities in the garage or on the street in front (also very safe). Close to restaurants and shops in the center of Hout Bay and other locations such as Camps Bay, Chapman's peak and Capetown center and water front.

    The TV did not work, which we did not find a problem. But the room facilities mentionned a TV. This was the only minus

    The breakfast was well-presented and tasty. Very quiet area with a beautiful view of the mountain and garden.

    Breakfast was set outside on the patio, on a rainy or chilly day it might pose a problem for guest comfort as there is no dining area other than the patio. We had cold water showers for two days running as the element in the geyser blew. It should have been fixed the same day as there are emergency providers in Houtbay - no excuse! The bed was not made every day, the linen was just pulled straight.

    We loved the location & the room was spotlessly clean. Our hosts were warm & welcoming. We loved having a leisurely breakfast on the veranda each morning. We will be back to stay the next time we go to South Africa and will definitely stay longer to take advantage of staying in this special place.

    Nothing we did not like
