Rene and Martine have a slice of Paradise in Hout Bay! This location was a lovely hopping off point for a tour of the Southern Cape, Kirstenbosch Gardens and wine country.
The cottage is just as depicted in the photographs and more. It is clean, calming, tastefully appointed and amazingly organized with EVERYTHING you need to get started...coffee, teas, spices, dish soaps, etc. there is even wine available from a local winery for a nominal price. There is plenty of storage and a lovely bath with double sinks and shower heads. The vibe is casual but upscale. And the lighting can be bright or dimmed, which adds to the serene feeling of the whole place.
Their little "Shangri-La " looks toward the back of Table Mountain. The whole environment is simply stunning. The best of all is Rene and Martine - they are so friendly and helpful with knowledge of the area, directions, and suggestions, we couldn't have asked for more from two hosts. There were some added pleasant surprises that you will discover when you visit. You won't be disappointed!
