Hout & About Guest House

Mooi uitsig oor Houtbaai.

Ons het heerlik gebly by Hout & About. Die sakpas kamer was die enigste kamer beskikbaar, want daar het ook 'n toergroep gebly dieselfde tyd as ons. Die kamertjie is bietjie knap vir 2 mense, maar sal ideaal wees vir 'n enkelpersoon wat net daar slaap. Niks fout met die netheid van die blyplek nie. Die ontbyt was werklik uitstekend. Die ligging is perfek as jy die omgewing rondom Houtbaai en Chappies wil besigtig.

Baie lekker gebly.

Baie skoon en netjies. Pragtige uitsig en kamers is lekker privaat. Daar is 'n lekker sitkamer met 'n kaggel en jy kan koffie maak soos jy wil. Die eienaar is 'n wonderlike gasheer. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar gaan oornag.

Gemaklik, rustig, en lekker!

Fantastiese keuse gewees! Ons het sommer weer teruggegaan!

Great views with everything I needed.

Had all the necessary comforts in the room, although the room was quite small - but perfect for one. The common areas (terraces, pool, lounge, and dining areas) are beautiful, spacious, and with great views. The breakfast was delicious and ample with good coffee - always a win!

My go to place when I am in Cape Town.

Amazing place with amazing staff. The view of the ocean paired with a peaceful stay makes this the perfect place to stay during Cape Town visits.

Memorable!

Traveling with my wife just for one night. We felt immediately at home and relaxed. The rooms are private, comfortable and quiet. The bed is very comfortable. Lovely view over Hout Bay. Breakfast was exceptional. Will definitely return.

Best place, best hosts.

Best location, neighborhood. Safe and the beach is just a few steps away.

Friendly hosts.

Room was satisfactory although quite small. Service was great. Breakfast outstanding.

. . .

Lovely place, great staff.

I would definitely stay there again.

The room was comfortable and the breakfast was wonderful! The weather was dreadful, and there is a long walk from the gate to the rooms, which is uncovered. There is no DSTV, although there is an ample choice of movies.

Sal weer daar wil bly.

Netjiese skoon kamers. Mooi gastehuis met mooi tuin, swembad asook 'n spa. (Ongelukkig nie dit gebruik nie). Ontbyte heerlik!

Uitlig en ontbyt kan nie beter nie.

Baie goed en hoog aanbeveel. Ons was 'n groep van 12 volwassenes en die gasheer en sy span het ons baie tegemoet gekom met reelings en diens. Ongelooflike lekker ontbyt!

Gemaklik.

Ek was vriendelik ontvang en na my kamer gewys. Die ontbyt was heerlik. Dankie dat julle my tas op en af gedra het.

Ontspannend en die uitsig is asemrowend.

Die kamers was netjies, die personeel vriendelik en die ontbyt heerlik. Die uitsig is fantasties. Let wel, parkering is op straat maar tog veilig. Die kamers is kleiner as verwag, maar stylvol en skoon.

We enjoyed our stay at Hout & About.

Beautiful view, and the breakfast was amazing.

An attractive, welcoming place to stay.

An attractive, welcoming place to stay with helpful staff. Well set out with places to relax outside, or at the warm fire in the communal area inside.

Not but think twice.

Overall not bad. The TV did not work on arrival, but the host sorted it out. The drain in the bathroom basin is broken; water keeps running out. The drain in the shower is not letting water out quickly enough. I had to close the water to ensure the floor did not get wet. My son is on a diet, and when we asked if he could have extra eggs for breakfast, they said to him they only cook food once. Not good for a place that says they have a chef as an owner. The outdoor furniture was only set up after 08:00 in the morning. Overall not bad, but I will think twice if I will book there again. For a quick in and out, not a bad place, but do not expect too much.

Goeie ligging, maar 'n goeie matras en beddegoed is ononderhandelbaar.

Kamer se matras, kussings en beddegoed moet opgradeer word. Toiletborsel moet vervang word. Onaangename reuk vanaf die badkamer.

Wonderlik.

Netjies, lekker kos, vriendelike diens.

Sprokies mooi.

Asemrowend mooi, vriendelike mense en die uitsig is amazing.

Second time we were there and lovely again.

Drain was just blocked so smelt and water pressure wasn't great in shower. Everything else 100%.

Rustig. Veilig en huislik.

Hout & About is 'n pragtige plek. Vriendelike en hulpvaardige personeel. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier.

Fantasties.

Gasvryheid en diens was topklas. Lekker huislike brekkie.

Awesome guest house.

Amazing view, friendly staff and near a lot of activities to do in Cape Town.

Comfortable base for exploring the area.

Clean rooms, great breakfast with a spectacular view. Well worth it.

Rustige, mooi omgewing met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Ek en my man was in die Kaap vir Two Oceans marathon. Hout and About was die perfekte plek om net te ontspan.

Vriendelike diens, uitstekende ligging, baie skoon en netjies, heerlike ontbyt met pragtige uitsig.

Het baie lekker gekuier. Sou beter gewees het met DSTV of Netflix. Wasbakkie in die en suite badkamer te klein (kamer 4). Parkeerplekke vir voertuie nie lank genoeg nie; groter voertuie se agterkante hang effe in die straat.

Baie lekker ontbyt met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Baie gasvry met uitstekende kos en uitsig oor die baai.

Perfect for a getaway with a delicious breakfast included. Definitely good value for your money.

Would recommended Hout & About Guest House to any couple who needs a quick getaway.

Baie mooi plekkie. Die personeel is baie vriendelik.

Dit was baie lekker. So mooi en skoon. Pragtige plek. Al probleem is die WiFi het nie lekker gewerk nie. Sein was ook bietjie swak.

Amazing view of Hout Bay while enjoying breakfast.

Great hospitality, neat and tidy accommodation.

A pleasant experience with friendly staff.

We enjoyed our stay in Hout bay.

Rustige atmosfeer.

Persoonlike aandag. Gesonde en tuisgemaakte kos. Bekostigbaar. Vriendelike personeel.

Beautiful views.

The unit was clean and comfortable. The breakfast is cooked personally by the owner and was delicious. The views are stunning and the balcony is the perfect spot to have breakfast. The secure parking can be misleading as you park on the curb, however the area is very safe.

Lovely view, good breakfast, broken bathroom door, no loadshedding back-up.

I booked two double rooms. I requested that one be reduced to a single, no response, no deduction. A response, either way, would have been appreciated.

Al die basiese benodighede is daar teen goeie wintersprys.

Die inligting wat vooraf gestuur is, sowel as die ontvangs, was baie goed! Die ontbyt wat ook by die tarief ingesluit was, was uitstekend.

Eersteklas.

Die kamer, ontbyt en geriewe was alles uit die boonste rakke.

Beste plek in Houtbaai.

Dit was so 'n aangename ondervinding. Vanaf ons daar aangekom het, het Fanie ons ontmoet. Vriendelike diens. Kamers is stylvol en beddens is hemels. Ons ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke. Ons kom beslis weer Hout & About toe. Baie dankie dat ons so lekker kon kuier en vriende maak.

Pragtige verblyf met puik diens.

Die gastehuis is pragtig geleë met ongelooflike uitsigte oor Houtbaai. Die diens was puik van ons aankoms tot ons vertrek. Lieflike ontbyt. Kan die verblyf met graagte aanbeveel.

Wonderlike diens.

Pragtige plek. Wonderlike uitsig en staff is baie behulpsaam.

Awesome.

Great service and friendly staff.

Ek het daar oornag saam my dogter en dit was heerlik. Pragtige plek en uitstekende diens gekry.

Vanaf ons aankoms was die diens puik. Fantastiese ontbyt met pragtige uitsig. Heerlike kamers met als wat nodig is en selfs heerlike beskuit, koffie, tee, warm sjokolade. Ons kon van daar af lekker stap en dis in veilige, stil woonbuurt. Houtbaai self is wonderlik en pragtig en daar is verskeie puik eetplekke.

Fantastiese ligging met 'n uitsig.

Heerlike ontbyt en baie ontspanne atmosfeer. Vinnige wegbreek naweek vir die gesin en die verblyf was uit die boonste rakke.

Lovely Stay.

Room was extremely hot even with fans. Increasing the rate and air-con would be great.

Netjiese slaapplek met 'n heerlike ontbyt.

Hoogs aanbeveel. Netjiese en skoon slaapplek. Heerlike ontbyt met 'n mooi uitsig.

Wonderlike verblyf en vriendelike gashere. Sal beslis weer daar oorbly.

Wonderlike verblyf. Pragtige uitsig en 'n heerlike ontbyt.

Mooiste plek met die mooiste uitsig om jou.

Ons het ons tydjie by Hout & About vreeslik baie geniet. Ons het dit net as 'n oorslaapplek gekies en was nie baie daar deur die dag nie daarom het ons 'n klein kamer gekies maar dit was perfek vir ons. Alles was netjies en die leefarea en kombuisarea is pragtig. Die ontbyt is die lekkerste want jy kyk uit oor Houtbaai en dit is wat die plek vir my ekstra spesiaal maak. Thomas en Alica asook Monty en Fanny is vreeslik behulpsaam en vriendelik. Baie dankie.

Stunning view and scrumptious brekkie!

Super comfy beds, spacious room (deluxe) and beautifully restful décor! Service was friendly and helpful.

Pragtige ligging. Baie vriendelike diens van Monty en Fannie.

Modern. Baie skoon en netjies. Groot probleem is die trappe van die straat na bo. Ons is 70+ en sal baie graag handrelings waardeer teen al die trappe.

Beautiful, clean environment and friendly service.

Very good experience. We wil definitely come again. Room was bit small and aircon was dearly missed. Thank you for delicious breakfast that was served.

Hout and About worth visiting.

The accommodation cost is a bit high, but the breakfast which is included in the price is superb. Room is comfortable, but a microwave and decent coffee would have been nice. Swimming pool well kept. Lovely view of Hout Bay from the dinning room balcony.

Baie netjies en skoon. Gasvry.

Waarde vir geld. Heerlike ontbyt en vriendelike diens. Baie geniet.

Excellent.

Will recommend to anybody, good service, value for money, lovely people and great breakfast.

Awesome

The pictures does not justify! this place is beautiful and the breakfast with that view is amazing!

We loved our stay, we would book the King room the next time with a view. Delicious breakfast too!

Location was perfect for our wedding at Tinswalo.

Vriendelik hosts en netjiese plek.

My enigste negative comment is dat die stort water was nie vir my 100% warm genoeg nie en dit kan verbeter word.

Perfect weekend away.

We had such a great stay at Hout & About. The breakfast is amazing and Thomas and Alice along with their staff goes above and beyond to make the stay amazing. Thank you also for accommodating two very busy little toddlers!

Beter as puik.

Alles aangebied, van die beste.

Uitstekende ervaring.

Netjiese, skoon en wêreldklas gastehuis met die mooiste uitsigte. Die personeel is goed opgelei, vriendelik en behulpsaam. Kamers is baie modern en word ongelooflik netjies gehou. Die eienaars, Thomas en Alice is ongelooflik vriendelik en professioneel. Thomas is baie ingelig oor die Kaap en sy omgewings en het feitlik ons dag tot dag program vir ons beplan. Hy is ‘n chef wat heerlike ontbyt voorsit elke oggend en hy bemagtig sy personeel om dieselfde gehalte te bedien indien hy nie daar kan wees nie. Ons sal verseker met ons volgende besoek aan die Kaap hulle gastehuis eerste oorweeg.

Absoluut fantasties! Moderne kamers met die oulikste personeel.

Die gasvrou en gasheer is baie oulik, hulpvaardig en betrokke. Die kamers is modern en skoon. Ons het gehou van die Netflix opsie op die TV eerder as die gewonde DStv-kanale. Die ontbyt-area is besonders gerieflik met die mooiste uitsig - die prefekte manier om die dag te begin! Die ontbyt was heerlik met meer as genoeg opsies. Ons sal by geen ander plek as by Hout & About woon wanneer ons in die Houtbaai-omgewing is nie.

A beautiful room with a view, very kind and helpful hosts and a special breakfast prepared with dedication.

We stayed with Alice and Thomas for a week. The interior, which they have done themselves, is modern, colourful and tasteful. Sleeping is great but waking up even better: you eat your breakfast at a terrace overlooking the bay. It is an extensive breakfast, in which they serve a Special that is cooked by Thomas. A splendid start of the day! We got also good advice over all kind if things: hikes, restaurants, sights and routes. And they assisted with Uber and Tabel Mountain Cable car tickets. Coming in after a touristic day was like coming home. We warmly recommend Hout & About.

Excellent service.

We would highly recommend Hout and About Guest House, friendly and welcoming staff and host (Alice and Thomas). Less than 10 min walk to the beach/harbour. Breathtaking views.

Apart from the breathtaking views, our family room was spacious, tasteful and very neat throughout our stay.

The breakfasts were 10/10 and the hosts professional, but warm.

My stay was amazing.

This was an amazing stay, with a spectacular view. The owners, Thomas and Alice are friendly and very accommodating.

Dit was een groot bederf.

Kamers heerlik ruim, bed en beddegoed van hoë gehalte, ontbyt was heerlik met 'n fantastiese uitsig en wonderlike persoonlike diens. Die enigste punt wat na die negatiewe kant neig is dat die warmwater so lank moet loop voordat dit warm is, in ons waterarm land is dit nie goed nie.

A truly peaceful getaway with a view that keeps you busy and relaxed.

The hosts Fanny and Monty are awesome and owners equally follow suit. We will gladly return again.

It was fantastic.

We had a best stay ever, the rooms and environment were very clean, with friendly people. Let's talk about the breakfast, it was delightful with a warm welcome from the owners.

Highly recommended.

Hout & About is highly recommended, newly opened B&B with hands on owners, lovely breakfast was prepared every morning while overlooking a great view of Hout bay, harbour and mountain. Clean and well looked after rooms and facilities. Thomas and Alice is always up for a conversation.

Perfekte ligging, asemrowende uitsig, vullende ontbyt en vreeslik behulpsame gashere.

Ons het na donker by Hout and About gearriveer en kon nie die uitsig sien nie, my asem was letterlik weggeslaan met sonsopkoms. Die gasheer en gasvrou, Thomas en Alice, het ons hele groep só welkom laat voel en ons selfs bygestaan met spesiale versoeke. Die kamers is prakties uitgelê en voorsien in alle basiese behoeftes. Die beddens slaap lekker en alles was netjies en skoon. Die ligging is perfek vir vissermanne en vakansiegangers siende dat dit naby die hawe is en die hoofpad maklik toeganklik is vanaf die gastehuis. Ons kan Hout and About werklik vol punte gee.

Everything you need away from home.

Definitely home away from home. Gourmet chef prepared a scrumptious breakfast every morning and the most homely feeling from the hostess. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable. We will definitely recommend and revisit again.
