    During loadshedding we had no issues as the house is powered by Solar System. Very neat and tidy!

    Ideally situated from the HoutBay harbour as we fished in a National Tournament. Close to major stores.

    We've been to cape town many times before on holiday and decided to pick something a bit out of the city and this place was perfect! We enjoyed relaxing in the garden and pool, very quiet and relaxed area with wonderful views. The place was also...

New from October 2022: Solar power with battery backup! Don´t worry about the frequent power cuts ("load shedding") any more, you are independent! Also new: All rooms have one window fitted with a fly screen so you can enjoy fresh air without worrying about insects. This house, which was completely renovated in September 2017, is located in Hout Bay, a fishing harbour with a wonderful sandy beach and great infrastructure, a mere 20 minutes from Cape Town and half an hour away from the airport. Facing north, the property guarantees many hours of sunshine, so hop into the private pool to cool off! The brand new furniture together with the stylish large-scale pictures contribute to an airy and laid-back atmosphere. Good news for guests with children: Our household is well equipped with two baby cots, two high chairs, a baby rug, toys for inside oustide including a plastic scooter for the winding walkways in the garden, an inflatable splash pool, swimming aids, and, last but not least, a toilet training seat. The house is situated in a quiet cul de sac in a friendly and open neighbourhood. Park your rental car (recommended) in the garage with automatic door opener. Sitting on the generously sized patio you have a fantastic view of the last of the "Twelve Apostles", a mountain range which extends from the famous Table Mountain to the south. Don’t miss the sunset!
My husband Thomas and I have been regular and enthusiastic visitors to Cape Town for more than 20 years. In January 2015, we fulfilled a long held wish for our lives after work and bought a house of our own in Hout Bay. We are spending about half of the year in our new home, and spend the rest in Europe, much of it in Germany where our six children and eight grandchildren live.
There is so much to do and to see. You are just five minutes away from the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the most spectacular coastal roads in the world. Drive further and you will reach the Cape of Good Hope. To see the sights of Cape Town take the Hop-on-hop-off Tourbus which has several stops in Hout Bay. A more direct route is a trip on MyCityBus, an excellent public transport service taking you into the heart of the Mother City. Further attractions such as the pengiun colony of Simonstown (kids love Boulders Beach where you can swim with the penguins) or whalewatching in Hermanus are easily reached by car. Activities for children include a visit to Africa’s largest Bird Park „World of Birds“, enjoying a meal in one of the many child-friendly restaurants with playgrounds, painting your personal cup in the Clay Café, a boat ride to Duiker Island to see the seals, or lazing on the wide beach – all of which are situated right here in Hout Bay! You will find all kinds of shops and excellent restaurants in Hout Bay, and you can walk to many of them. Hout Bay boasts four supermarkets, several pharmacies, a book shop and many more. Don´t forget to buy fish in the harbour!
