Hout Bay Gem - Elise Way

Great location, very comfortable bed.

A fan would be super, as it does get warm in our SA summers.

Host very friendly and polite.

Sharing of bathroom and not good value for money.

The name says it all. The property is located in a quiet area and very serene/tranquil. It was more than expected. Vicky was wonderful, friendly and very accommodating. I liked that coffee was on the house in the shared kitchen. There was free wifi and you could make use of the fridge as storage and you could also access the other areas, such as the lounge and the pool. The room was perfect and clean, and very private. There was also ample air circulation in the room and the windows are big and there was a fan as well to keep the room cool. The shared bathroom was also neat and clean.

I like everything overall

We booked this accommodation for our staff member who was working at a huge international event and needed to be well rested. It was my fault that I did not see a shared bathroom (which is unusual) but she had to share this bathroom with 2 men - who were badly behaved. There were 2 nights of loud behaviour in the middle of the night by 2 different guests. Upon mentioning this to the owner (who has signs in the establishment requesting guests speak to her) - it was not met with any empathy. It was more defensive that helpful. My staff member felt uncomfortable and unsafe in this room - preventing going to the toilet at night and locking her door. I do not feel this is an appropriate arrangement for a lady on her own and did expect some comfortable in my complaints - something to be done - but nothing was done and the week of 6 nights was a negative experience.

The property was very clean and with all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Nikki the host was gracious and welcoming.

No complaints.

Jam packed with people, very tight parking, a small room with shared bathroom, totally different to the photos.
