    Johann was a great host, making sure we were taken care of and felt ocnfortable upon our arrival to Cape Town. The apartment is quite spacious and was very tidy and clean. The location is also very good just 2min away from the supermarket, restaurants and stores. If you walk 5min you can stroll on the beach. It is also a great base to explore Cape Town and surrounding areas as there is easy access to main driveways. Definitely recommend to stay here if you are wanting to explore Cape Town.

    Great location to explore various highlights of Cape Town and surroundings. It is also an excellent place to just relax and enjoy the garden and views. Outstanding breakfast. Hout Bay has a fair amount of nice restaurants. We stayed for 5 nights and would come back again. Luis was a great host.

    The house is in a quiet, secluded location, but only a short stroll (or very short drive) from town. Our well equiped spacious room looked out onto a lovely green, hillside garden; plentiful birdsong and butterflies. We breakfasted and "sundowned" each day on a veranda directly outside our room. It was all delightful. Msrtin and Sue, the hosts, were charming, friendly and helpful in all things. We could not be more pleased we stayed at Hout Bay Hideaway and will do so again if/when we revisit the area.

    Waterland Lodge is a lovely place to stay. I was only there one night but could have stayed a week! The gardens are beautiful, the host very welcoming and helpful, the room was excellent - private, comfortable, quiet and had everything I needed. Plenty of space for kids if you have them with you. Good wifi. Great location.

    Great location, quiet, and easy access to local amenities. Very well placed for day trips into Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and the wine lands. Apartment is modern, clean and spacious, with a very large terrace. Secure underground parking a bonus. Gavin, the host, was very helpful in communicating prior to arrival and in offering recommendations for places to eat - all of which were excellent.
