68 guests' feedbackWe 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.
Very clean and tidy. Beautiful view and rooms are nice and private. There is a nice living room with a fireplace and you can make coffee as you like. The owner is a great host. I would stay there again anytime.
Fantastic choice! We just went back again!
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!
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.
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 location, neighborhood. Safe and the beach is just a few steps away.
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.
Neat clean rooms. Nice guest house with nice garden, swimming pool and a spa. (Unfortunately not using it). Breakfast delicious!
Very good and highly recommended. We were a group of 12 adults and the host and his team were very accommodating with arrangements and service. Incredibly delicious breakfast!
The rooms were neat, the staff friendly and the breakfast delicious. The view is fantastic. Note, parking is on the street but safe. The rooms are smaller than expected, but stylish and clean.
Beautiful view, and the breakfast was amazing.
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.
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.
Room's mattress, pillows and bedding need upgrading. Toilet brush needs to be replaced. Unpleasant smell from the bathroom.
Neat, good food, friendly service.
Breathtakingly beautiful, friendly people and the view is amazing.
Drain was just blocked so smelt and water pressure wasn't great in shower. Everything else 100%.
Hout & About is a beautiful place. Friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely visit again.
Hospitality and service were top class. Nice homemade brekkie.
Amazing view, friendly staff and near a lot of activities to do in Cape Town.
Clean rooms, great breakfast with a spectacular view. Well worth it.
My husband and I were in the Cape for Two Oceans marathon. Hout and About was the perfect place to just relax.
Had a great time. Would have been better with DSTV or Netflix. Washbasin in the en suite bathroom too small (room 4). Parking spaces for vehicles not long enough; the backs of larger vehicles hang slightly in the street.
Very hospitable with excellent food and view over the bay.
Would recommended Hout & About Guest House to any couple who needs a quick getaway.
It was very nice. So beautiful and clean. Beautiful place. Only problem is the WiFi didn't work well. Signal was also a bit weak.
Great hospitality, neat and tidy accommodation.
We enjoyed our stay in Hout bay.
Personal attention. Healthy and homemade food. Affordable. Friendly staff.
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.
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.
The information sent in advance, as well as the reception, was very good! The breakfast that was also included in the rate was excellent.
The room, breakfast and facilities were all top notch.
It was such a pleasant experience. From the moment we got there, Fanie met us. Friendly service. Rooms are stylish and beds are heavenly. Our breakfast was top notch. We will definitely come to Hout & About again. Thank you very much that we could hang out and make friends so much.
The guest house is beautifully situated with incredible views over Hout Bay. The service was great from our arrival to our departure. Lovely breakfast. Can happily recommend the accommodation.
Beautiful place. Wonderful view and staff are very helpful.
Great service and friendly staff.
From our arrival the service was great. Fantastic breakfast with beautiful view. Lovely rooms with everything you need and even delicious biscuits, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. We could walk from there and it's in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Hout Bay itself is wonderful and beautiful and there are several great places to eat.
Delicious breakfast and very relaxed atmosphere. Quick getaway weekend for the family and the accommodation was top notch.
Room was extremely hot even with fans. Increasing the rate and air-con would be great.
Highly recommended. Neat and clean place to sleep. Delicious breakfast with a nice view.
Wonderful stay. Beautiful view and a delicious breakfast.
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.
Super comfy beds, spacious room (deluxe) and beautifully restful décor! Service was friendly and helpful.
Modern. Very clean and tidy. Big problem is the stairs from the street to the top. We are 70+ and would really appreciate handrails on all the stairs.
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.
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.
Value for money. Delicious breakfast and friendly service. Enjoyed a lot.
Will recommend to anybody, good service, value for money, lovely people and great breakfast.
The pictures does not justify! this place is beautiful and the breakfast with that view is amazing!
Location was perfect for our wedding at Tinswalo.
My only negative comment is that the shower water was not 100% hot enough for me and this could be improved.
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!
We were told to keep quiet during the day. We were called about being noisy which was untrue. Owner is very discriminating against children. Unfriendly, not a children friendly place, it's mostly for couples. The pool is situated amongst the rooms, however you are not allowed to make noise during the day because residents complain.
Everything offered, some of the best.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The breakfasts were 10/10 and the hosts professional, but warm.
This was an amazing stay, with a spectacular view. The owners, Thomas and Alice are friendly and very accommodating.
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.
The hosts Fanny and Monty are awesome and owners equally follow suit. We will gladly return again.
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.
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.
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.
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.
