Lisa and Derek are great hosts, very friendly and hospitable. They made me feel very welcome. The fittings in the bedroom room and bathroom are new and well appointed. The room was very clean and the linen was brand new. The bed was large and comfortable and I was very happy at Rydale. There is secure parking on their property and I was able to come an go without disturbing my hosts. I would highly recommend Rydale as a safe, secure venue in Hout Bay.
