We stayed for 2 nights and had an extremely relaxing time after the hustle of Camps Bay. The owners Sue & Martin are lovely; very welcoming, extremely hospitable and full of useful tips for what to do in Cape Town and the surrounding areas. The rooms are of a high quality and spacious, we had a wonderful view over the... More

Wonderful place with fantastic rooms, balcony's with ocean and garden views, great breakfasts, good location and value, and lovely helpful owners.

I have stayed with Sue and Martin three time -- twice with family and once for work. Walking in the door is like walking in your own home, if you live in heaven. Sue and Martin and the most wonderful people in the world. They love living in Hout Bay and they love to share their joy with all their... More

We had a really wonderful time at the Hout Bay Hideaway with Sue and Martin (the owners). We got a very good breakfast each morning with fresh friuts, croissants and health bread, scrambled eggs, etc - seems to be created with love! Our room on the back of the house had a big terrace round the room and close to... More

Martin and Sue made one feel welcome the moment... More

We travelled during the cooler time of year and appreciated the warming towel rack, burgundy mohair throw on the duvet and seemingly in floor heating. When entering the room a sprig or... More

Our trip from London to Cape Town was typically tiring; thankfully we had the Hideaway waiting for us on our first visit to the Western Cape and Hout Bay. From start to finish Sue and Martin made sure that the whole... More

What a find! We’ve stayed in Cape Town before but on this trip wanted a less formal hotel but with the usual luxuries. From the start Martin & Sue Collins (the live in owners) made us feel so welcome – even to our 14 year old monosyllabic twin sons! The Hideaway has been described before by others so I shan’t...

We spent 4 nights at the Hideway, what an apt name, and what a great place. we stayed in the Skylight suite at the rear overlooking the garden and pool with a 2 aspect bacony and very easy access to the beautifully warm pool, a decent size and crystal clear salt water. we frequently sat watching the nectar eaters (birds)...
