A fantastic place to stay in a great location, close to shops, restaurants and within a very short stroll to the beach and harbour. The house was extremely well equipped and had everything we could possible need and more. The pool was an added bonus and used daily to cool off in the heat of the day. Maarten could not have been more helpful and was always close by if we needed to ask anything, not just about the house but the area. A 20 to 25 minute drive along a beautiful scenic route, takes you to the Waterfront in Cape Town, Table Mountain and in the other direction, along Chapmans Drive, you can visit the wineries in Constantia. We have been to Hout Bay on a number of occasions and this is by far the best place we have stayed and we would highly recommend it to anyone. When we next come back to Hout Bay, we'll most certainly be looking to stay at Maarten's place.
