A unique and magical place. Stunning views and architecture and a really beautiful garden that on a calm day provided an amazing sense of tranquility, well-being and oneness with nature. The house is well designed to maximise views of the mountains, sea and garden and perfect for the feeling of being outside while inside. Modern and tastefully furnished and meticulously kept, with a very well-equipped kitchen. The bedrooms had very comfortable beds, great views, and good bathrooms, but limited storage. From the garden you can access the path to Sandy Bay beach which is a beautiful unspoilt beach. Hout Bay is a lovely spot surrounded by picturesque mountains and with good amenities, beaches and craft shops. Alana was very friendly, helpful and super responsive to messages/questions and her housekeeper was also very helpful in sorting out our needs. I would definitely recommend Alana’s place for anyone visiting the Cape Town area - it is a very special experience.
