Guest Reviews

• Rina (10/5): -
• 8b9de46d865e71da7750dcadd25e8e17 (9/5): Fabulous little cottage for a lovely getaway. - The house was well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
• Patrick (8/5): - Die Lage direkt am Strand von Hout Bay ist außergewöhnlich. Ein Parkplatz ist unmittelbar vor der Tür und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten schnell zu erreichen. Das Haus verfügt über keine Klimaanlage, was in der Nachsaison aber kein Problem war
• Jan (10/5): - Leuke ligging, behulpzame host.
• Shirley (10/5): - Perfect location. Nice view. Restaurant and beach 20m and store just around the corner.
• Mathias (8/5): Lage toll direkt am Strand aber das Appartement ist eher einfach. - Nette Gastgeberin , Lage nahe zu perfekt direkt am Strand gegenüber eines belebten Restaurants . Eine Kaution vorab über Rand 1000 eher unüblich. Ausstattung eher einfach ; Terrasse eigentlich nicht zu nützen.
• Gwenzito (10/5): - Tyra, the host, was extremely helpful. Everything was perfect from booking right through to check-out. I would return anytime for a holiday. All the shops are close by, and the added bonus is the Dunes Restaurant literally on your doorstep. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay.t

• Thulisile (10/5): My stay was amazing and would definitely recommend it 😃 - The property was clean with a beautiful view, the host is friendly and very helpful. She lets you have the place to yourselves and is only a text away. The area is quiet and safe, the apartment is also armed with alarms. The place is fully furnished and has everything you might need. It’s a bit far from V&A but I wasn’t too fussy about the distance

• laurent (10/5): - I had a wonderful stay in Hout Bay, Cape Town. The location is absolutely perfect—right on the beachfront with stunning views and easy access to the ocean. The host was always present, extremely helpful, and made sure everything was comfortable throughout my stay. The area is vibrant and convenient, with plenty of great restaurants, cafés, and shops just a short walk away. It felt safe, relaxed, and ideal both for exploring Cape Town and for enjoying quiet moments by the sea. The accommodation was clean, well-maintained, and had everything needed for a pleasant stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beachfront stay in a prime location with excellent hospitality. I would definitely come back!
• Morena (10/5): - Friendly hosts, cosy - clean place and a beautiful area🌊
• Natalia (8/5): Fabulous stay by the wonderful beach - Location amazing, and a wonderful connection with the lady who takes care of the place
• Sebastian (9/5): - Toll ausgestattet, super sauber und freundliche Gastgeberin, Parkplatz nur 5 Schritte von der Eingangstür entfernt. Die Wohnung war im Erdgeschoss. Dadurch haben wir die Terrasse nicht so genutzt, wie wir es in einer höheren Etage getan hätten.
• Pieter (10/5): - Lovely ?
• mabusela (9/5): Excellent - Proximity to the beach and restaurants Safety Host went out of her way to make us comfortable Will def return Nothing

• Pillay (8/5): Excellent location and comfortable unit - Excellent location and great host. A bit of foot traffic past unit but did not affect us too much as location is secure.
• Alexandra (9/5): Superb - The apartment is right on the beach with a restaurant next door. It is stylish and has all you need, even milk, coffee, tea and a bottle of rose in the fridge. Communication with Claudia was very easy.
• Anastasia (8/5): Beautiful apartment, lots of to detail, and extra value adds ( wine and milk in the fridge) - The location of this property does not feel safe. It is right at the back of a Checkers, and a Restaurant. The pictures also make the property look bigger than it is. I would not feel safe opening the stacker doors, as showed on the pictures.

• Ziyanda (9/5): I would most def recomment the place more especially to beach lovers. - The location was amazing. A walking distance to the shopping centre and the beach view was top tier! There was a few food supplies availabe which saved us a bit of money 😂 and the host was really amazing 😊. Loved the fact that even during loadshedding we had our lights on, could charge our phones, watch TV and cook our meals, thanks to the gas stove. If there was DStv to catch up on our favourite shows
