A real gem !
I was delighted with everything about the guesthouse. The room was lovely with tasteful features and fittings. The little patio in front of the room provided a lovely view and I would have been happy to sit there all day long ! The hospitality was excellent, the breakfast great and my only disappointment was the pool, which was out of action because of the drought conditions being experienced in the region.

Great and pieceful!
My hubby and I decided to have a quiet weekend in our own city - since we have a construction site next to where we live. This was the best place to enjoy nature and piece! The guesthouse only has 6 rooms. They are nice decorated, we had a nice bath with bath tub and shower. If you are looking for a small hotel with an individual flair, calm and comforting, you are right here.

Great guest house for a quiet restful time
Hotel owners and their staff are wonderful, friendly, helpful and willing always to go that extra bit. The breakfasts are cooked to perfection, crispy bacon as good as anywhere I have tasted. The extra ability to have your washing and ironing done at a minimal cost is very much a bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending this guest house to anyone visiting a Hout Bay.

Art Gallery guesthouse - nice stay
Very nice guesthouse - initial impression of the outside was not brilliant, but i guess it just needs a lick of paint. First night we didnt have any hotwater -I suspect it was because the couple in the room next door used it all, but the next evening it was fine. I would recommend it though - comfortable and clean.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt mit Familie in Hout Bay
Eine ganz tolle Unterkunft in Hout Bay! Wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 kinder) hatten die beiden zimmer Agaphantus und Aurum Lilly - sehr schön mit Balkons ausgestattet! Sehr nettes Personal, tolles Ambiente und eine sehr persönliche Atmosphäre. Zum Strand sind es ca. 5 Min. mit dem Auto. Schöner Pool vorhanden. Unterm Strich: Sehr zu empfehlen!

Friendly Guesthouse close to Cape Town
We stayed the first three nights of our Trip here and enjoyed the rooms, house, staff and location a lot. Very good for seeing Cape Town (Camps Bay and Table Mountain Cable way are on the way into town) as way as Cape of good Hope.

Ausgezeichneter Service
Das B&B liegt in einer ruhigen Gegend etwas außerhalb von Hout Bay mit einem tollen Ausblick auf die Berge und die Bay. Der Besitzer ist Photograph und das ganze Haus ist mit seinen Werken ausgestattet. Unser Zimmer (Acapanthus) war auf der Empore und sehr schnuckelig mit einem schönen Balkon. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und das Frühstück war unübertreffbar.
