Hout & About was our first stop in Cape Town and we absolutely loved it! Fanny welcomed us when checking in and showed us the common room which was amazing. There was coffee and tea to grab from and also fresh fruits that you can help yourself with. The view from the terrace and the enterior of the main room are definitely the highlight. As add on - the breakfast was outstanding thanks to Thomas who prepared us a daily special which I’ll need to cook at home from now on as well :). The room offers everything that you need - comfortable bed, black out curtains and clean bathroom. Tea and coffee is also available at the room. All in all we really loved it there and would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!

From the moment you enter the yard and get greeted by Mr Banda i knew i was going to have a good stay. The breakfast was nice and simple and i like how the gentleman (Banda, Yamikani and Kingston) kept asking us if we wanted breakfast for the following morning despite how we kept telling them we would think about it. They checked up on us to ensure we were comfortable with everything that we needed. Safety is key and you are on top of that, extinguishers and fire blankets were available which you don’t find at some places. I also loved the fact that i could do my BBQ by the gazebo with the Braii stand and Grill available at site. It felt like my own home.

Loved the warm welcome and interactions/conversations with Alex(owner) and Lily(caretaker). -The room had loads of natural light and they are extremely relaxing and comfortable. -Views are not sea facing or anything special but the windows have shade from trees which also helps with privacy. View was not an important point for us and we enjoyed bird watching on the adjacent trees, so for us it was good! -Ample parking, safe street. -Restaurants closeby. -We were able to store our luggage with them and park oir car in their parking lot much before check in time and head out for snorkeling activity. -Short driving distance from beaches and town. - Our first time in Hout bay and Alex and Lily gave us a great orientation of the town and Alex recomended some cool things to do. -Dont miss the enterance door, its an art piece. -Safety of the cottage is very good. *One incedent to mention is the day of checkout we had to leave early in the morning and Alex was extremely accomodating and took special effort to pack some delicious goodies for the way/breakfast.

    We enjoyed every single moment at Poseidon! It's a place of exceptional friendliness, comfort and hospitality! The location and view of Chapman's Drive and the entire bay are outstanding! The rooms are both stylish and cozy with a nice personal touch. The living room is really an invitation to both a quiet evening at the fireplace or a chat with other guests or the very interesting and friendly hosts. The breakfast was incredible!

    Great location to explore various highlights of Cape Town and surroundings. It is also an excellent place to just relax and enjoy the garden and views. Outstanding breakfast. Hout Bay has a fair amount of nice restaurants. We stayed for 5 nights and would come back again. Luis was a great host.

    The house is in a quiet, secluded location, but only a short stroll (or very short drive) from town. Our well equiped spacious room looked out onto a lovely green, hillside garden; plentiful birdsong and butterflies. We breakfasted and "sundowned" each day on a veranda directly outside our room. It was all delightful. Msrtin and Sue, the hosts, were charming, friendly and helpful in all things. We could not be more pleased we stayed at Hout Bay Hideaway and will do so again if/when we revisit the area.
