This is just a note for travelers who don't have a car and rely on uber. You will struggle to get a car from Hout Bay in the evenings. Getting to Hout Bay is not an issue at any time though.

Where to start, everything about this little hideaway was magical! The location is secluded and quiet, with a spectacular view. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is scrumptious. The bed is comfy. The water pressure in the shower is just perfect. Everything is super clean. And wait until you discover the secret kitchen in your room!

Nothing

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

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

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.

A gem of a place to stay - hidden away on a residential street, wonderful views, beautifully furnished. Sue and Martin are lovely hosts - kind, warm and full of good tips. We loved being in Hout Bay, it felt liked an oasis after a day in the city.

Nothing we did not like

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.

Clean, nice decorated and spacious room with private terrace. Sue and Martin, the lovely hosts, were helpful and made you feel more than welcome. Quiet surroundings but Cape Town, sights and great wineries/restaurants close by. Next time when we are in Cape Town we will return.

There is nothing that I can think of.

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.

Nothing, we loved everything.

We loved our stay at the Hideaway, lovely and spacious room, comfortable bed, nice view and beautiful pool area. Breakfast was very tasty! Parking is free and you can park safely in the street, very quiet area. The hosts are so lovely, kind and humorous, we felt very welcome, thank you!! Hout Bay is a great part of Capetown with a beautiful beach and a few nice restaurants and shops.

We stayed 3 weeks at Martin and Sue's amazing place. This is one of the best places we've ever stayed at in South Africa. The place was clean and neat with beautiful details in the room. The breakfast was simply divine and the pool extremely good. Martin and Sue were the most caring, warm and welcoming hosts and we highly recomend this amazing place ! We will definately come back.

Nothing at all.

We loved the location of Hout Bay Hideaway, the layout of our room and the balcony, the pool and the garden, the wonderful breakfasts but most of all the warmth of the welcome from Martin and Sue.

the pool could have done with a clean but hey ho... we didn't care... I didnt know what was soap or shampoo in the dispensers so a label would have been helpful. the guest house is on a steep hill so take care but this is not a complaint...just to be aware thoes who read this...if I have to pick holes and search the skies for a complaint...ha ha time to varnish the outside wood ... but honestly....can you complaint about that?

the photos don't it justice...Sue and Martin can't do enough for you...the rooms are full of tasteful coordinated classy beautiful furniture and decoration.. breakfast was exceptional...
