Imagine that your dream becomes a reality, well, then you're in the right place. The owners of the Guest House, Trevor and June, are real people, as more and more 'rarely happens to the present day, have the power to make you feel right at home. The dog Timber, is the icing on the cake, he does not hesitate to... More

From the moment we arrived, Trevor and June made us feel welcome and at home. The Blue Room was fantastic with its own living room and balcony providing amazing views over Hout Bay. Quiet and comfortable. Lovely pool and amazingly good breakfasts. Thanks! More

We stayed seven nights which is quite long for a b and b but in the end we were sad to leave. Trev and June were superb hosts, always going out of their way to help and they create a relaxed vibe for the place. We stayed upstairs which I would recommend, the rooms are excellent and have a superb... More

We stayed for 3 nights in January 2012. This was our second visit to Amblewood (previously stayed in 2005) & as our first stay I could not find fault at all. From the moment we pulled up to the property until we left, Trevor & June (owners) were the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they are... More

Great place to start a 3 week trip in Western Cape. Its close to the airport which is great after a long flight, and easy to find. Trevor and June are great hosts. Location is superb, on the hillside overlooking Hout Bay, very quiet and relaxing. Hopefully may see you again at the end of 2012! More

Trevor & June make their home so welcoming and there is always a good bit of 'banter' to be had with Trevor when he is not cooking up or serving the delicious breakfasts. Our loft suite was great and the massive bed so very comfie - great for collapsing into after our days out exploring and enjoying the very good... More

My wife and I planned a trip to Cape town and went via tripadvisor to get accommodation. That is how we ended up at Amblewood. We spent two nights with June and Trevor, and they made us feel truly welcome from the minute that we arrived. They advised us on activities in the area, as well as where to dine... More
