Whether one is looking for a quiet, majestic, scenic retreat in a spacious, well appointed "cottage" (more like a home) with breathtaking views of the mountain and forest below, or one wants to be perfectly positioned to explore and enjoy all Hout Bay, the scenic coast, Chapmans peak and Cape Town has to offer, this is the perfect choice. The hosts, Anthea and Gary, are warm, hospitable and a fountain of knowledge regarding things to do in the area.
The cottage is superbly stocked, including modern, quality appliances (SMEG fridge, Nespresso coffee machine), even supplying enough crockery and cutlery to invite guests over to enjoy the sheltered outdoor space to braai or have dinner at the wooden table and chairs in the garden and be mesmerised by the views and surrounds. The huge, comfy couch, blanket and cushions with an exquisite view from the lounge is also perfect for lazy afternoon naps, serene "time out" from busy lives or to snuggle by the fire on a cold, wintery day. I travel extensively for work, frequent a variety of different establishments boasting an array of amenities and facilities, but very seldom leave with an overwhelming desire to return. We will highly recommend this to friends, family and colleagues alike as the combination of location, beauty, cleanliness, safety, quirky design (including outdoor shower) make this a very desirable destination for short and long stays. We loved it!
