My husband and I booked for two nights to stay at Thandekayo over the course of our wedding in Feb this year. One night before for myself with my bridesmaid so I could prep for the wedding, and then also for the night of the wedding as a newly married couple. The peace and calm that Thandekayo exudes along with... More

Thandekayo was one of "five" Four Star guest houses that we stayed at during our recent visit to South Africa. We travelled the Garden route to Cape Town and then back to Mpumalanga (Hazyview). I would say that out of the five guest houses we stayed at, this one was the least deserving of 4 Stars. Although it was clean... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our Guesthouse. We are disappointed that you did not have a favorable experience and would like to take this opportunity to address your concerns. Firstly at Thandekayo we serve a cooked breakfast to order off an extensive menu, for this reason we attempt to stagger the breakfast times to take pressure off... More

Back to Cape Town our old home, and always enjoy returning to Hout Bay. This was our first stay at Thandekayo, and hopefully not our last. The guesthouse is well situated to explore the many delights of Hout Bay and Cape Town, and is situated in a nice quiet street. The views from the balconies are wonderful, and the swimming... More

Thandekayo felt like home away from home. Perfect place from which you can discover Cape Town and other places. It's a beautiful drive to Cape of Good Hope via Chapman's peak. Try Luigi's (Italian food) and Kitima (Asian food) in Hout Bay. Like sushi? Try Ocean Basket, excellent salmon.

Our very first visit to Cape Town and Thandekayo and it will not be the last. From the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel so welcome by the owners Martin and Anita, our room Aloe was perfect for our long stay at the bay. The staff Banda and Janet had a constant smile on there... More

Having left our first Guesthouse in Hout Bay due to poor service and facilities I called Art Gallery GH at 21:00 on a Saturday evening hoping that they could help us. Fortunately for us they had one room open.... They were more than willing to accommodate us and received us quite late with brilliant service and hospitality. The room and... More

All in all a very nice place to stay when you are in Houtbay. PS- If you are a photographer, the owner (Martin) knows more than a bit about photography and is glad to point you to... More

I stayed for 2 nights and had a great time. People are super friendly and the house it self is something remarkable. If you like photography, this is the place to stay. If you don't like, it still is a great guest house. Enjoy! Thank you Martin, Banda and you all for having us last August, from Portugal. Hope to... More
