    This really cool ‘cabin in the woods’ is a home away from the busy Hout Bay and Capetown! Beautiful views on Table Mountain from the deck and room. The bathrooms with shower also offer a direct view on the surroundings. Comfortable with good...

This is a unique cabin tree house style home nestled high up on a property making up part of the Table Mountain Reserve, overlooking the world heritage site,Orange Kloof, effectively the back of the Table Mountain reserve. Despite its apparent remoteness, it lies just 7 min from Houtbay central district and 12 minutes from Constantia shopping centre. Home has immediate access to many walking trails including the well known Vlakenberg hiking trail. All bedrooms have stunning views onto mountain ranges. On Directions. The best way to navigate to the lodge is as follows; 1. Place 12 Bay Road, Houtbay into your GPS. Do not use 12 Fynbos as there are 2 fynbos close and GPS often sends guests to a different location,namely plattekloof which is 40km out of the way. Please note the address given is NOT the lodge location only a way point. 2. Once there you will be at the end of a tar road with a dirt road ahead of you. At that location, stop the car and press your trip meter to zero and drive for 800m. 3. At the 800m mark there is a stone wall and a sign, with a road leading up to the property on your right hand side. Proceed up that road then take 2nd road left which is partly paved then 1st road right again, without stopping and follow the road until you reach the lodge at the top of the property. There is parking right in front of the lodge where guests may leave their car. The road can prove challenging at times during heavy downpours, and after dark, although over the 4 years that I have been operating most cars make the trip without much issues if directions are followed correctly. Any difficulty with negotiating the dirt road call Sven and he will arrnage to collect you.
I am a semi retired former chief executive of public listed companies who has also been involved in property development and hospitality along with a passion for cooking. As part of your stay I offer breakfast and dinner from a menu available to my guests on arrival at reasonable prices. I also offer classic scooter rental for accompanied rides along the beautiful cape route and wine farms which can be arranged during the stay.
This home is nestled high in a forested area adjacent to Table Mountain National Park, yet only a short drive from Constantia and Hout Bay. A wide variety of hiking trails are accessible from the home, as are beautiful wine farms and restaurants. Ideal for mountain bikers and hikers.
