Rene and Martine's cottage in Hout Bay served as the PERFECT home-base for our Cape Town adventures. Hout Bay is a wonderful, safe, and beautiful place to stay outside the hustle & bustle (and traffic!) of Cape Town, while still being within easy driving distance of all the Cape Town sights. (The home is approx. 20 minutes from the airport)

Rene and Martine have a wonderful family and made us feel at home the moment we arrived. Rene has the absolute BEST recommendations and insight regarding day-time adventures and routes to take throughout the region. (A drive over Chapman's peak on your way back to Hout Bay from Cape Point is a must!) We were also happy to follow Rene's suggestion to check out the Friday Night Market in Hout Bay; it is a wonderful and warm atmosphere and a fun way to experience the local community of Hout Bay!

We could not have been happier with our stay. Martine and Rene have earned every bit of their title as "super hosts." We would rate their accommodations a 10 out of 5 if we could.
