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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
