An absolute gem on the slopes of Hout Bay, perfect for solo travellers or couples!
Antje‘s & Mano‘s listing truly is a hidden gem – nestled in the back yard of their pretty property and designed by Mano himself, the studio beautifully blends clean architecture & the surrounding nature for an immersive stay. The morning lighting, the fresh evening breeze & the vistas from the terraces perfectly frame a Hout Bay stay!
The listing looks as nice as in the pictures – the tiny home-style room is very cosy and surprisingly spacious at the same time. All the amenities – Wi-fi, kitchen devices, bathroom etc. – are of highest quality. The listing has no TV (which we didn‘t miss at all) and no AC, which turned out to not be a problem at all since the various windows allow for more than enough breeze to flow through the space. Safety was never a concern since the property is well-secured by a company, as well as dog Kuba and cat Scusi who wouldn‘t miss any unusual movements or noises.
Location-wise, the listing is on a west slope in Hout Bay, best reached by car/drive, but very conveniently located for driving/Ubering to central Hout Bay (5 mins), Llandudno Beach (10 mins), Cape Town (20-25 mins) and the Cape Peninsula (Noordhoek, Simon‘s Town, Cape Point, Kommetjie etc.). There are also 2 (longer) beach walks possible from the property.
Antje and Mano are extremely nice, attentive & accommodating hosts, greeting us on arrival and always being at our disposal for help or useful tips on what to do & see in the area – they really know their way around Hout Bay and always had great recommendations to give! All in all a stellar Airbnb experience – would happily return & stay again! :)
