About this property

Modern design, fantastic view, solar power, no load shedding, borehole water

We bought the house in 2018 and completely refurbished it.
It also has its own water supply and is therefore independent of Cape Town's water restrictions.
The bedrooms have air conditioning.
The super comfortable box spring beds are a dream.
Our dream house is flooded with light with floor to ceiling windows and open living area.
The equipment is new and modern with a spacious, open kitchen with island, Nespresso machine and separate utility room with sink, washing machine and dryer, and generous storage cabinets.
The dining area is equipped with a large real wood table (2,80x1,20) and can accommodate at least 8 people.
In front of our fireplace are sofas and comfortable armchairs to relax and read.
As a meeting place with friends invites our wind-protected patio (courtyard).
On our inviting terrace with spectacular sunsets are extremely comfortable, high quality teak lounge furniture.
Let your gaze wander over the bay of Hout Bay, preferably with a glass of South African wine or a braai (Weber gas grill available).
At the pool you can enjoy the sun and relax.(Beach umbrella and sun loungers available).
The completely newly furnished bedrooms with high quality boxspring beds invite you to dream.
The master bedroom offers a wonderful sea view, a dressing area and own spacious Beadezimmer.
The other bedrooms are set around the patio, some with their own bathroom.
A guest toilet is available.
For TV nights with the whole family is a separate TV room with 55 inch TV (DSTV, Netflix etc.) available.
Stable Wi-Fi is available throughout the house.
You park your car comfortably in our double garage, from where you have direct access to the house.
Our house manager Claudia will assist you in all matters and greet you personally at check-in. She is always available as a contact person on site.
The house, at the end of a cul-de-sac, is located in a completed estate with 24 hour security, so absolutely safe.
The estate is located in a nature reserve with hiking trails.
Cape Town at a stone's throw away.

This home and it’s hilltop location, was more lovely and unique than I expected. It was a very comfortable, modern and beautiful home with an inviting deck and views. Wish we stayed longer.

Spectacular Home, Beautiful views
Our entire experience here was top notch from the beginning to the end. The house is absolutely beautiful and easily accommodates 4 couples. The kitchen is fully equipped for any cooking and service you would require. The views are stunning of the mountains and Hout Bay. This is a very secure and friendly neighborhood to stay in. We cannot say enough about our host Miriam, the property manager and all of the staff. I highly recommend this home to anyone that wants a luxury stay in Cape Town.

Pleasing
Beautiful house, wonderfully managed. Claudia seemed to be on call 24/7, when we had no water at 9.30 at night, she responded immediately, we were so impressive and relieved. Only issue for me was the lack of banisters on all the stairs, not good when you have bad knees but otherwise amazingly situated and equipped. We all loved it.

Deborah and co. Reunion in the sun.
This is the most brilliantly designed house. The main living spaces are full of light and beautifully furnished. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you could need and there is a good quality bbq. The huge glass doors all open to create a feeling of being outside. One of our favourite spots was the outside courtyard eating area which we named the secret garden. At night it looked so beautiful with lights and candles. The outside front terrace, perfect for relaxing together has the most stunning views, with mountains,trees and Hout Bay in the distance. The main bedroom suite is exceptional with panoramic views over Hout Bay. Thank you to Claudia who was always available to help out with anything even managed to get English football on the television for the boys! We had the most wonderful time in this oasis of calm and had a truly memorable holiday. Thank you Miriam and Torsten, we absolutely loved it!

Calming. Convenient. Comfortable.
From the moment I was greeted at the gate by Claudia until my departure, I felt like royalty. The home itself is more breath-taking than the pictures could capture. I love cooking and was sure to book a stay with a functional kitchen. This place did not disappoint in that department. The primary bedroom is the entire top level, overlooking the home's terrace and the entire estate. What. A. VIEW. For those who like to stock the fridge, the grocery store is less than five minutes away (and so was the beach)! This location is as convenient as it is serene. I have only positive things to say about the entire EXPERIENCE. The security of the neighborhood made every aspect of the stay more peaceful. Skip the hotel. Jump straight to this GEM

Stunning
What a stunning house in a fabulous location set in the hills overlooking Hout Bay. We found this a perfect location for us. 15 minutes to Camps Bay, 20 minutes to Table Mountain, 30 minutes to The Waterfront and easy access to the South beaches and bays. The house is even more spectacular than the pictures. Floor to ceiling glass everywhere downstairs allows stunning views across the bay without being overlooked. The communication between ourselves and the owners was excellent and we were treated superbly by house manager Claudia who answered all and every one of our question as well as making numerous fantastic recommendations for us during our visit. Chapmans Peak hotel was a great place to eat in the evening with views across the bay and right on the beach itself was Dunes which was excellent for breakfast and lunch. Another great recommendation from Claudia was Babylonstoren in Stellenbosch. In summary, I cannot recommend this house more highly. Thank you for a great stay!

Great property and location
Pros: We really loved the property. Great views and sunsets out the backyard. 30 min to the V&A but the drive up the coast is phenomenal. 30 min to the airport. Beautiful rooms, ample space, fully stocked fire place. Garage parking. Very safe neighborhood. Groceries and restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend renting a car if you use this place. Cons: There was mold in the coffee maker, which as daily coffee drinkers was a bit disappointing. Other than that, very clean place. Note: For those not familiar with load shedding, in Cape Town, there can be planned blackouts to help with power demand. We had power outages of 6 hours a day. The listing mentioned load shedding but we just didn't know what it was. This has nothing to do with the property specifically, but something to consider when comparing to a hotel (which usually have generators).

Perfekter Start in den Südafrika-Urlaub
Die ersten vier Tage unseres Südafrika-Urlaubs durften wir in dieser geschmackvoll eingerichteten Villa verbringen. Besonders haben uns der offene Atrium-Bereich, die super gut ausgestattete Küche, der Kamin, die verschiedenen gemütlichen Chill Out-Areas sowie natürlich der grandiose Blick über Hout Bay gefallen. Lediglich die Lage ist nicht ganz perfekt, da es schon ca. 30 Minuten Autofahrt von Kapstadt Zentrum zum Haus sind. Aber alle, denen das nichts ausmacht, finden hier eine perfekte Location, um die Seele baumeln zu lassen! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Vielen Dank auch für die völlig unkomplizierte Abwicklung bei Buchung und Check-In.

What an incredible find! This property is spacious, modern/ renovated, warm and inviting. There are lots of areas to lounge, read, enjoy or entertain. It is surrounded by stunning vistas, mountains, you can see the ocean and beach in the distance. It’s close to Chapman’s peak, 20min from Constantia, 20min to camps bay. I absolutely adored it. Wish I could stay longer.

Great Vacation Home!
Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home. It was perfect for three couples, with lots of indoor and outdoor gathering space. The views are great, and location is perfect if you don't mind the short drives (30-1 hour) in various directions to see the sites. We would stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Great house in a beautiful setting
It’s a beautiful, well equipped house in a nice and secure area. The space, light and views are actually better in person than the pictures can show. There was plenty of room for our family of 6. Claudia, the property manager, met us at the house when we arrived and was very helpful. Good shops and services nearby. Hout Bay is a picturesque half hour drive to the centre of Cape Town and close to Chapmans Peak. We’ve stayed at several properties we have found on VRBO/HomeAway in various countries. This was one of the nicer ones.
