We had such a lovely stay. The place so clean and well kept. The lady Silvia went out of her way to make us feel comfortable after our horrible experience at another B&B in houtbay. She made our day even more special. We will definitely go back for a longer stay.

Staying at The Beach House in Hout Bay feels like staying in the perfect beach home you never had. I am sitting writing this review currently sitting in the lounge with a fresh pot of filter coffee and a muffin from the lovely ladies in the kitchen whilst looking out over the private courtyard and pool. I stayed upstairs in an en-suite looking over the dunes and directly onto the beach in a king sized bed. The hotel is put together with the perfect combination of comfort and luxury, of casual beach feel and style, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We stayed at the Beach house for our Anniversary and even though it was just for a night, we felt treated and relaxed. Warm and cosy reception hosted by the delightful Sylvie and Max. Stylish and modern bedroom with en-suite and a beautiful deck to take in the breathtaking views of mountain and sea. A wonderful Breakfast dining experience with wonderful service as well as a quick cuppa around the fireplace before we left. Hout Bay market and town within walking distance or a short trip by car or Uber. Thank you for making our Anniversary special. Highly recommended!

Imagine being awoken from sluber at 11.40 pm not by the ocean - but by the roar od traffic on the road 5 metres away, neighbours banging their doors and talking. Paper rhin walls, a noisy fridge next to the bed (ugh) and light pouring in everywhere are not conducive to sleep. Location is not everything - go somewhere else. ANYWHERE else

Dear Michael Stow, It is with some surprise to read your review and to be honest, this is the worst review we have ever received in our five years of business. We pride ourselves in providing excellent service at the lowest rates, albeit we are a three star establishment. We are so sorry you had such a terrible time here and that it was so unbearable. We changed your room after your first night as you advised us that you had a sleeping disorder and struggle to sleep. We purposely switched off our outdoor lighting in the courtyard to be considerate of your situation and for the record all our rooms have block out curtaining. The building is solid double brick between all our rooms. You were happy with the new room which led out on to a private courtyard for your second night. Your review is derogatory and malicious particularly as you were so friendly and thanked us for a lovely stay. Kind Regards, The Beach House

The accommodation is nice and quiet. Central to nearby attractions and very affordable. The hosts was very attentive and helpful when we needed assistance. It is really good value for your money and you get what you pay for. As for the scenery no words can fully comprehend it.

Arriving home to Hout bay after 12 years was a huge stress for me, however, I found Beach house Guest house through a friend Jean Irvine. The host is amazing, the energy is awesome, the rooms are sooooooooooooooo quiet. The breaks (all included) (me a Chef, always turn up my nose to tacky food) well, I have to say that this place should be in the Michelin guide (if guests houses got stars). Very Safe, amazing decor, Super friendly staff, easy access to the property (all my America friends - Security is Top-notch). The pool has views of the mountains. I stayed in a room at the back as I was struggling with jet lag. wifi is South African wifi, get used to it. The breakfast is my favourite, it is a place to really heal your soul. Walking distance to everything. The host and the son run this, professional and very well put together, I travel a lot with Airbnb and booking.com, I hight recommend this place. There is (US) style convenient stores, wine stores, groceries and close to the beach for walks and the best sunsets. This was a very welcome "home Mark"…

From the moment i drove through the gates i felt at home. The hospitality and the warm welcome myself and my mom received was incredible. The beds are HUGE and super comfortable. The rooms are extremely clean. And what is a B&B without an exceptional breakfast... delicious.

Fantastic place to stay. Right on the beach with views of Houtbay main beach and harbour. Walking distance from shops, restaurants, pubs and museums. Right by Chapmanspeak and 6km's away from Constantia's Wine farms. Multiple hiking trails on your doorstep. Rooms are immaculate and well equipped. Great breakfasts and Sylvie is a sweetheart ready to help with whatever you need.
