Martine and Rene have carved magic out of their garage in Hout Bay. Their lodging is a true gem. The location is wonderful; wake up and you are greeted by a spectacular setting backing up to Table Mountain. The renovated garage behind their marvelous house allows real privacy and comfort worthy of a luxury hotel. Everything is in the right place and you can make a wonderful breakfast to enjoy the view. Rene and Martine were lovely hosts, suggesting great restaurants and other things to do and holding animated discussions about life and South Africa. My only regret was that we could not stay longer - the cottage was reserved for nine straight days after our lovely weekend there.
