    Our recent stay at Hout Bay Hilltop exceeded all expectation. Serene and privacy with spectacular view. House is spacious, pleasantly decorated, provided modern comfort. The outdoor space with a private pool and stunning views was certainly a highlight Marc is hospitable and prompt to reply to any query. The accommodation is truly a gem. If you're looking for a retreat in Cape Town, look no further than Hout Bay Hilltop You won't be disappointed

    Everything was perfect at Hout Bay Hilltop. The house is super clean and free of clutter but you have everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are very comfortable. The outside area is just perfect for a family or a group of friends with lovely views of the mountains. Marc was a great host and he always responded quickly.

    A spacious house very nicely decorated with all the comfort one could think of. Marc is very welcoming and helps whenever needed. We felt very safe. A well equipped super market is close by, we had lunch at the beach and Chapman‘s Peak is right in front of your door. We had some bad luck with the weather. So we will come back when it is warmer to enjoy the pool and the terraces with the views!

    A very comfortable and spacious house, extremely well equipped. The lovely garden areas offer privacy and some gorgeous views. Only a 10 minute walk to a large Spa supermarket and pharmacy. 1km to the beach. The owner Marc lives close by and is easily contactable with any queries. Marc valiantly tried to fix a problem with our hire car on the day of departure. Europcar emergency number was not answered. So Marc drove his car to his local garage and brought back a technician to solve the problem. A wonderful gesture of kindness which will be remembered along side a holiday of complete relaxation in beautiful surroundings.

    Marc the host was very accommodating. We arrived very early in the morning after an overnight flight. He allowed us to sleep in his flat which is adjacent to the property until the other guests left and the house cleaned. The photos do not do the property justice, there are 2 grill areas with outside tables and the house is very well maintained. We loved our stay and will stay again if we are back in Cape Town.

    We had an amazing stay at Hout Bay Hilltop. The house was clean, comfortable and our host was welcoming and went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful stay.

    Good self-catering spot
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Four-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 4 nights

    There were a few small niggles, but I have flagged them with the host and he's said he'll look into them. The biggest is that the largest bedroom currently has no privacy as the door to its entry is straight down the main bedroom passageway and made of glass, so everyone can see in at any time. A simple curtain over the doorway will solve this. Fans would also be good, as the bedrooms are hot because of all the glass. Almost every door in the house is glass, and some of these should be marked so it's easier to see when they're open, especially for people staying with children (my mother-in-law walked straight into one). For very young kids, the garden is not particularly safe. The stairs from the garage to the house are quite steep, and there's no boundary around the pool or the deck (which is built over an incredibly steep drop). However, practicality issues with one bedroom aside, the house is lovely for a group of adults or a family with older kids.

    The kitchen and kitchen contents are far better set up than most self-catering places. There is enough crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment, plus a coffee machine and even a dishwasher. There's a double oven and all the kitchen contents are high-quality and functional. The view from the deck to the mountain is beautiful and the home has two braai (BBQ) areas - one on each side of the house - with outdoor tables and seating. Generally a very comfortable space and great for a family holiday or break with friends. The host, Marc, is very to the point and was available to help with keys, directions to shops, restaurant recommendations and even posting some items my in-laws left behind to them after we'd left. It's a 5min drive to the shops or beach, as well as numerous restaurants, and it's also near to several wineries.
