At the guest house, each unit comes with a seating area, a TV with streaming services, a safety deposit box and a private bathroom with a shower, bathrobes and a hair dryer. Some units feature a balcony and/or a patio with mountain or pool views. At the guest house, the units have bed linen and towels.

Not for everyone but definitely was for us! It truly was an experience visually and artistically. We also had a great company of other guests. Taking the uniqueness, I believe a small info booklet giving the history of the property as well as curiosities about its creation would add value to those interested.

    The house is in a quiet, secluded location, but only a short stroll (or very short drive) from town. Our well equiped spacious room looked out onto a lovely green, hillside garden; plentiful birdsong and butterflies. We breakfasted and "sundowned" each day on a veranda directly outside our room. It was all delightful. Msrtin and Sue, the hosts, were charming, friendly and helpful in all things. We could not be more pleased we stayed at Hout Bay Hideaway and will do so again if/when we revisit the area.

    Waterland Lodge is a lovely place to stay. I was only there one night but could have stayed a week! The gardens are beautiful, the host very welcoming and helpful, the room was excellent - private, comfortable, quiet and had everything I needed. Plenty of space for kids if you have them with you. Good wifi. Great location.

    Great location, quiet, and easy access to local amenities. Very well placed for day trips into Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and the wine lands. Apartment is modern, clean and spacious, with a very large terrace. Secure underground parking a bonus. Gavin, the host, was very helpful in communicating prior to arrival and in offering recommendations for places to eat - all of which were excellent.
