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!

    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.

    Waterland Lodge is a lovely place to stay. I was only there one night but could have stayed a week! The gardens are beautiful, the host very welcoming and helpful, the room was excellent - private, comfortable, quiet and had everything I needed. Plenty of space for kids if you have them with you. Good wifi. Great location.

    Great location, quiet, and easy access to local amenities. Very well placed for day trips into Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and the wine lands. Apartment is modern, clean and spacious, with a very large terrace. Secure underground parking a bonus. Gavin, the host, was very helpful in communicating prior to arrival and in offering recommendations for places to eat - all of which were excellent.

    private, quiet and a great location. Johann is a very welcoming host. The apartment has very nice decor. As we stayed for more than 5 nights Johann arranged a complementary treat from Protea Picnics which we would thoroughly recommend.
