Hout & About was our first stop in Cape Town and we absolutely loved it! Fanny welcomed us when checking in and showed us the common room which was amazing. There was coffee and tea to grab from and also fresh fruits that you can help yourself with. The view from the terrace and the enterior of the main room are definitely the highlight. As add on - the breakfast was outstanding thanks to Thomas who prepared us a daily special which I’ll need to cook at home from now on as well :). The room offers everything that you need - comfortable bed, black out curtains and clean bathroom. Tea and coffee is also available at the room. All in all we really loved it there and would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!

Really nice accommodation with a fantastic view. Danie and Janni are the most welcoming and helpful hosts. They make you feel instantly at home and will do everything they can to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible – AND they make the most delicious breakfast!! We have stayed at other places in Hout Bay but this is definitely our favorite which is why we now keep coming back.

The bed and breakfast is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The kitchenette comes with an oven, a microwave and a toaster and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

This was a perfect place to stay. Really nice apartment, well-equipped, there was everything one could need. Perfect location in Hout bay, close to restaurants (like Wharfside Grill and Restaurant - food is really tasty and the view is nice), when you take a shortcut in between the houses, it´s like 5 mins at max. The code for the lock is provided by the owner, and it´s also written in the manual to the apartment. Jeannine is really kind, and the communication with her was without any problems at all. Also close to the Birds Sanctuary in Hout Bay and "seal island" - go there by a boat, it´s cheap (5-6 euro), you´re gonna sail like 50 mins, and there are seals, which is nice. Close to the apartment is also Nelson Mandela gallery - it´s a really interesting place - his paintings are available only on 3 places in the World - Cape Town, London and New York - so it´s surely worth to see it. I surely recommend this apartment.
