Nice view of Hout Bay.
We had a wonderful stay at Hout & About. The pocket-sized room was the only room available, because there was also a tour group staying at the same time as us. The little room is a bit small for 2 people, but would be ideal for a single person who just sleeps there. Nothing wrong with the cleanliness of the accommodation. The breakfast was really excellent. The location is perfect if you want to see the area around Hout Bay and Chappies.

Most beautiful place with the most beautiful view around you.
We really enjoyed our time at Hout & About. We only chose it as a place to sleep and weren't there much during the day so we chose a small room but it was perfect for us. Everything was tidy and the living area and kitchen area are beautiful. The breakfast is the best because you look out over Hout Bay and that is what makes the place extra special for me. Thomas and Alica as well as Monty and Fanny are extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you very much.

Excellent experience.
Neat, clean and world-class guest house with the most beautiful views. The staff are well trained, friendly and helpful. Rooms are very modern and kept incredibly tidy. The owners, Thomas and Alice are incredibly friendly and professional. Thomas is very knowledgeable about the Cape and its surroundings and practically planned our day to day program for us. He is a chef who serves a delicious breakfast every morning and he empowers his staff to serve the same quality if he cannot be there. We will certainly consider their guest house first on our next visit to the Cape.

Absolutely fantastic! Modern rooms with the cutest staff.
The hostess and host are very cute, helpful and involved. The rooms are modern and clean. We liked the Netflix option on the TV rather than the wounded DStv channels. The breakfast area is particularly comfortable with the most beautiful view - the prefect way to start the day! The breakfast was delicious with more than enough options. We will stay at no other place than Hout & About when we are in the Hout Bay area.

It was a big treat.
Rooms wonderfully spacious, high quality bed and bedding, breakfast was delicious with fantastic views and wonderful personal service. The only downside is that the hot water has to run so long before it gets hot, in our water-poor country it is not good.

Perfect location, breathtaking view, filling breakfast and extremely helpful hosts.
We arrived at Hout and About after dark and couldn't see the view, my breath was literally taken away at sunrise. The host and hostess, Thomas and Alice, made our whole group feel so welcome and even assisted us with special requests. The rooms are practically laid out and provided with all basic needs. The beds sleep well and everything was neat and clean. The location is perfect for fishermen and holidaymakers as it is close to the harbor and the main road is easily accessible from the guest house. We can really give Hout and About full marks.
