We stayed in the most beautiful and sumptuous Bay View room at the Hout Bay Hideaway and it was heavenly! From the elegant and exquisite furniture to the lavender on the pillows on an evening, we are unable to fault anything. The bed is so comfortable and luxurious too. The balcony overlooking the bay was stunning and we spent many... More

Second time that we stayed at Hout Bay Hideaway and we again loved it. This is a small and very personal guesthouse located in a quiet neighbourhood above the beach and fishing harbour of Hout Bay (only about 20-30 mins drive from Cape Town). The four rooms are comfortable and interestingly decorated with antiques (and have a small kitchenette), and... More

We stayed in the Garden Room at The Hout Bay Hideaway on our honeymoon along with our 1yr old son and it couldn't have been better. The house is beautiful with lovely furniture and a big huge bed and shower and so much space (ideal when you have a little one) with a hammock swing and deck chairs outside. The... More

This is truly a 5-star Guesthouse. We had a simply wonderful two nights here in early March and were made so comfortable by Sue and Martin that we ditched all our plans to go anywhere in the evenings and just lazed on the veranda with a Woolworths picnic and some wine ogling the beautiful garden and the stars. It really... More

Sue and Martin can arrange airport transfers and can put you in touch with a car hire company who drop off and pick up at the property. The bedrooms... More

Stayed here for 7 nights in December and have already booked to go back next year. Fantastic rooms, superb hosts and a location that was the perfect balance between relaxation and action. Would have no concern in recommending to my friends and family!

A 5 night stay which was our second visit, and we've already booked for a longer stay next year. Martin and Sue provide a service which is really difficult to match. The rooms are spotless and superbly decorated. There is a mini kitchen, if you need it. A beautifully presented (and very large) breakfast is served to you on your... More

We stayed here for 8 nights in November and absolutely loved it. We loved Hout Bay and it was a brilliant base for us to get out and about and see Cape Town and the surrounding areas. The house is great. Pool and garden were stunning and I was a big fan of the hammock. Our room was fantastic -... More

We rounded off our trip to South Africa with a 4 night stay at the Hout bat Hideaway. What a good choice my wife made when trawling the internet, she has her points! Martin and Sue Collins are the hosts and a more welcoming and helpful couple would be hard to find. The accommodation was superb, comfortable and spotlessly clean.... More
