Gertrude and (sweet)Pete are amazing hosts who are always happy to help a guest in need. They went above and beyond our expectations. Their cottage is surprisingly spacious and sunny. It is surrounded by a lovely garden and you can hear the peaceful sound of birds chirping and the odd guineafowl call in the evening. The cottage is extremely neat and tidy with not a speck of dirt. I can definitely recommend their place to anyone who is look for an affordable, peacefull base in Hout Bay.
