Had a fantastic restful and enjoyable stay. Owners great, food and service great as well and the views from the room awesome Hout Bay is one of our go to places for the open space. The sea and long beach and the weather come together and with various cafes and bars to visit relaxation is guaranteed Strongly recommend a walk on the jetties and through the harbour and also a visit to the market. Would recommend an Uber from the airport rather than a taxi (and back again) Our one disappointment has nothing to do with the guest house or location, but the airport - wanted to leave luggage there on our final day, checked internet and latest news suggested a short term bag store. Arrived at airport only to find bag stores closed That said everything else great Thank you - we will be back…
We loved our time at Poseidon. Immaculate room, thoughtfully designed with a stunning view over Hout Bay. Fresh made bread and an excellent breakfast and friendly support for us to find our way around Cape Town as first time visitors. Danni and Janni were great company and have created a comfortable and stylish haven. We look forward to returning.
We have visited this wonderful guest house twice a year for the last few years and we were never disappointed. Rooms have top views over HoutBay Harbour and Chapmans Peak Dive . Excellent aircon as well as extensive breakfast with homemade bread . Onsite safe parking . Excellent restaurant very nearby at the harbour . Very central accommodation between Capetown and the peninsula . Half an hours drive to the airport. Lots of visitors come back to this guest house every year .Janni and Danie speak several languages so no worries..... And Pearl is the best housecleaner/manager you will ever find in any accommodation in SA's southwestcoast.....
I’m a South African and stayed here for 4 nights with my English boyfriend. Had the worst experience ever. We were accused of stealing two towels when we took them to the beach and brought them back. We were accused of breaking the TV in the room because we unplugged the aerial. At the end of our stay we were charged for both of the above and accused of ‘sneaking out’ without paying. We had two family members come over for some drinks early one evening (one of whom was pregnant and didn’t drink at all) and were accused of disrespecting the place. There were some heavily soiled men’s white jockey shorts found on our made bed one evening, as if someone had been using our room for ‘a quickie’. Clearly this concerned my boyfriend who wondered if I had been having an affair... fortunately this was cleared up between us. Upon departure the whole sorry episode ended with an extremely heated and protracted argument with both male hosts Jannie & Danie (a couple) shouting and swearing and threatened to call the police. Both myself and my boyfriend (a UK Solicitor) we’re locked in the premises until we paid their ridiculous bill. All the other residents heard the shouting and embarrassed. I was wholly ashamed as a South African at the disgusting standards of hospitality and disrespect displayed to myself and my boyfriend as guests and paying customers. KEEP WELL CLEAR OF THIS PLACE.

the Poseidon Guesthouse is a pearl. Individually and very tastefully furnished. The rooms are excellently furnished and have a fantastic view over the harbour, you can hear the seals from the harbour, up to Chapmanns peak, nothing more is possible? Breakfast! Wonderfully laid table, homemade bread, egg dishes prepared according to your wishes, everything your heart desires is served... It is worth taking a tour of the Hangberg Township. My guide Niklas explained me a lot about the origin and the life in the TS. It is also worth to get to know the not "beautiful" side of South Africa a little, that is SA and there is still a lot to do. The friendliness of the people in TS towards me was heartwarming...Danie and Janny, thank you very much it was a wonderful stay with you and I will come again.…
