A few problems plague this otherwise lovely guesthouse. 1. Breakfast was a disaster. Eggs and bacon were burnt. A R19.95 breakfast from Spur is 100 times better. Only had breakfast the first morning (out of 4) we were there. On the other mornings we PAID for breakfast at restaurants. 2. Off street parking is a massive problem which was not... More

Yet another time, we returned to this outstanding location near Capetown, which offers stunning views, lovely rooms, great hospitality, breakfast at it's finest (actually brunch) and a management which is able and willing to help in nearly every aspect. Ivanka, Anne and Luis are always available with their helpful hints on things to do, where to go, what to try,... More

Just back from a wonderful 24 days staying at the Dreamhouse where the owner, Ivanka and her team, went out of their way to ensure my wife and I enjoyed a real 'home from home' experience. Very friendly, very helpful, very clean and tidy. They make you feel part of the family. The breakfasts are enormous and very tasty -... More

I stayed here for one week and can honestly say that it is the most wonderful place I have ever been to. The location of the Dreamhouse is qualified for exploring Cape-Town and all the other interesting sights throughout South Africa. At the reception desk Ivanka and Anne welcomed us in a very warm manner so that my boyfriend and... More

We were 8 friends ( age 39 - 65 ), staying for 3nights. When arriving, the gate was open because of workers on the premises. We asked the workers where the entrance to the house was and they directed us to it. When entering the house the lady of the house was coming down the stairs and asked us in... More

We stayed at the Dreamhouse at the beginning of October and I can honestly say it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It is made up of various houses which are surrounded by beautiful gardens, ponds, pools and a view to die for. Every morning I would get up early and stand outside my room... More

we chose the Dreamhouse to be the hotel for our wedding ceremony in South Africa and we were overwhelmed by the beauty of that place and especially the warm and very friendly owner Ivanka and Louis! The guest house is beautifully located on a hillside so one can enjoy the great views of Hout Bay and the surrounding (Table) mountains!... More
