I have just returned from my third stay at Hout Bay View. It was just perfect. The rooms are looked after by friendly staff and are always immaculate. The owners are always available to help with information and advice. I want for nothing while I stay at Hout Bay View. I am able to use my I pad as they... More

Not a place to be recommended, the owner was very cold to us on arrival, gave us a room more expensive that the one we booked, DSTV and Wi Fi were not working, and the hot water in the shower came after 10min of running, No view from the room, only from the garden.

When you booked you asked for a ocean view and the price was quoted to you. Accordingly you were booked into the garden suite which has 180 degree vista... More

Great spot, great views from breakfast area, rooms clean and small number of rooms is perfect if you want a quiet stay. Breakfasts excellent and all staff were very attentive! Hot tub with a view over bay was a welcome surprise! Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Excellent B&B with eight rooms and modern decor. Attentive owners and staff. We used the great room, the outdoor patio with a stunning view of the mountains and bay, the pool, and the hot tub, all excellent, and stayed two weeks in February, 2013. Thanks, Bryan and Drew.

A great little B&B idealy situated overlooking the stunning Hout Bay. The views really are superb! The friendly owners arranged our tranfers and car hire although we also found it very straight forward to get to the centre of Cape Town using public transport. The Blue Route Tour Bus even picks up and drops off at Hout Bay Marina. We... More
