47 guests' feedbackIt was perfect. Besides the perfect accommodations, the host was magnificent. I would recommend Bulrush Cottage as the perfect place to stay.
The stay was incredible! Hosts are super friendly, and what a beautiful place to stay in. A walk in the estate is a must.
The hosts are absolutely awesome and we had a delightful stay. The serene surroundings and lush greenery created a peaceful retreat. The attention to detail in the garden and beautiful Bullrush Cottage made for a truly memorable experience. Grateful for their hospitality, assistance, local information and the tranquil oasis they've created. Highly recommend!
We felt very welcome and Tutu's personal attention to our needs was much appreciated.
Quiet and comfortable place that is well equipped. It has a fantastic mountain view and peaceful garden, and is very well located. Many thanks to Tutu and Peter for their hospitality and all the extras and also arrangements for our late check-in.
We absolutely loved our stay at Bullrush Cottage. The hosts were friendly, efficient and accommodating. We were made to feel at home and enjoyed living on the beautiful estate. A winner all the way.
I doubt there is a better place to stay in Hout Bay.
The hostess, Tutu, was vivacious, charming, an expert and entertaining communicator and above all very helpful. Bullrush Cottage is very well equipped and we had everything that we needed. The cottage is spacious for 2 people and has a very good layout, the furnishings were comfortable and the bed divine, security excellent and cleanliness first class. Undoubtedly the highlight of a 5-week trip. The visit to Kirstenbosch with Tutu was outstanding and Tutu's knowledge of the fauna made the day for my wife Jill. I would recommend Bullrush Cottage to any of my friends.
The most amazing host, thank you Tutu for being so friendly and kind. We were welcomed with complimentary wine and a bunch of snacks. Had a great experience walking in the mountains and around the estate. It is beautiful, safe, and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!
We felt right at home, the hostess was very friendly and helpful. Lovely peaceful setting, unit was very comfortable with everything. What is needed for a peaceful stay.
We were pleasantly surprised to see the cottage and the location. We were right at home from the first moment. It is a super quiet area and we could really enjoy the few days so much. The cottage is perfectly located and we were able to do so much in the few days, from wonderful drives on the most beautiful roads, wine tasting, restaurants and coffee shops, delis, buying plants.
Bullrush Cottage was ideal for my wife and me, very secure and comfortable with a lovely host.
Thank you Tutu for your hospitality and all the spoils, you really made our weekend away extra special. We will surely be back soon.

The host's hospitality was exceptional, very sweet, friendly and kind. The cottage was amazing, very cosy and inviting. Amazing views of the beautiful grounds nature all around. Myself and my partner had a very beautiful peaceful stay we would no doubt book again.
Tutu makes so much effort to make you feel at home and comfortable! Will definitely stay there again next year! Stunning, clean and beautiful, secure estate!
So peaceful. It was just what my partner and I needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Definitely a breakaway weekend to remember. Thank you, Tutu and Pete, for the sweet and kind gestures.
We were received very kindly. Tutu was very friendly and treated us like family. We really enjoyed our visit and received very good service.

The cottage was absolutely perfect and exactly what we needed for our stay in Hout Bay. Tutu was such a friendly and lovely host. The cottage was cosy, spacious and super clean, nestled in a beautiful spot in the garden. And so many nice extra touches. We will definitely be back to stay longer.
We stayed at Bullrush Cottage for 5 nights. The cottage was clean and neat, very well equipped. Very quiet area and safe in the estate. Owners very friendly and helpful, will definitely stay there again if things work out like that.
All the necessary arrangements and indications have been sent in advance so that one knows what to expect upon arrival. The service was excellent and the people very friendly. The place is very clean and nicely decorated. Of the entire two weeks in the Cape, this one was our favorite overnight stay and we will return again in the future. Thank you very much.
If you are looking for value for your money this is the place for you. The location is perfect, it is safe and private. Couldn't have asked for a better stay at that price. The hostess was very considerate and helpful and went out of her way to make us feel at home. Everything you would need for a nice stay is available. Would definitely recommend Bullrush Cottage.
We were kindly received. Everything was tidy, very peaceful environment, no noise. I recommend it. Will go again for sure.
The cottage was clean, bright and so comfortable. The one thing we were a bit disappointed in was that the TV did not give a clear picture, it was very fuzzy. Otherwise we could not fault the accommodation.
Great place, great service, great price. See you soon!
Thank you for a very lovely stay, it was truly great! We enjoyed the privacy, the view and your pool. We will definitely stay there again!
Bullrush Cottage is a very neat and cosy place to stay. Tutu, the host, is very helpful and friendly. We will definitely visit again.
Really enjoyed it and will definitely use them again.
This place is absolutely awesome! The children loved it so much! Thank you Tutu for your kindness to allow us to utilise your space. The place is so nice, cosy, clean and quiet. Mario and Roberto loved it so, so much! Thanks for the heaters, it clearly helped us coping with the cold. To me it felt so peaceful and relaxing. I'm so grateful for choosing Bullrush Cottage - thank you so so much!
The owners went out of their way to be helpful. Always friendly, hospitable and hearty. I will book there again any time. Great vale for money. Central location.
I had the most amazing weekend away at Bullrush Cottage. I definitely recommend anyone that wants a relaxing and peaceful weekend away with their partner to book here.
Very friendly hostess, goes out of her way to make sure her guests are comfortable. Delicious chocolates on the bed, wine and fruit juice in the fridge. These are the types of extras you don't usually expect as you usually have to pay dearly for them. Would recommend Bullrush anytime.
Beautiful place and peaceful surroundings. Received a warm and friendly welcome from the host Tutu that really made you feel like you had a home away from home. Never felt unsafe. Thank you Tutu for an awesome stay!
The best customer service I have ever received from a place. When we arrived at Bullrush Cottage there was chocolate waiting on our bed and there was wine in the fridge. The owner even gave us ideas about what activities we could do in the surrounding areas. Will come back to this place anytime!
The location is central and the area is very safe. The unit is perfect - clean, neat, spacious, homey. It is one of the best units I have ever stayed in. The hostess went out of her way to be friendly and helpful. We will definitely book here again next year.
Very hospitable reception by hostess and the 'cottage' had everything we needed for our stay. The surroundings are beautiful and tree-rich with gardens and birds. Quiet and safe environment.
We were very warmly received by Tutu. The luxurious unit is beautifully furnished and decorated and equipped with everything you'd need. The area is very peaceful and quiet. Certainly a place we would recommend and will definitely stay at in the future. Definitely value for money too.
Good cottage and comfort! Pleasant surroundings. Very friendly hosts! In winter/early spring the cottage feels a bit chilly. I would suggest an additional page in the cottage book were to find the best restaurants around Bullrush Cottage to help the guests.
Great place to see the Cape from. Friendly and helpful owner. Cottage was great, all that we could ask for. The Weather played along wonderfully as well.
We were received kindly and were helped with everything we asked. The place was very neat and we were completely private.
Cleanliness and equipment of cottage is perfect. Hospitality and helpfulness are perfect. Safety perfect. Location perfect. We will go again!
