I thoroughly enjoyed my “brief” stay at Hout Bay House and would like to thank Gerhardt and Ronel for their warm friendly welcome. Ronel met me when I arrived and showed me around their gorgeous, homely very old (180+ year old , I think) home with a garden that Gerhardt laid out himself including a veggie garden complete with veggies.
A walk with Gerhardt and two dogs, Sila and Bo when Gerhardt returned from work, completed my welcome and by the end of the evening, I really felt like part of their family.
Accommodation was very comfortable, amenities such as lounge and kitchen are shared; however, I did not find that a limiting factor.
Although I did not have my own transport, Hout Bay House is very central to shops and the beach, so, for anybody considering staying there, these amenities would be a convenient few minutes away by car.
Thank you both for your friendly hospitality, even letting me out at 06h20 in the morning wasn’t too much trouble.
