Baie lekker gebly.

Baie skoon en netjies. Pragtige uitsig en kamers is lekker privaat. Daar is 'n lekker sitkamer met 'n kaggel en jy kan koffie maak soos jy wil. Die eienaar is 'n wonderlike gasheer. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar gaan oornag.

Great views with everything I needed.

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!

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.

Goeie ligging, maar 'n goeie matras en beddegoed is ononderhandelbaar.

Kamer se matras, kussings en beddegoed moet opgradeer word. Toiletborsel moet vervang word. Onaangename reuk vanaf die badkamer.

Vanaf ons aankoms was die diens puik. Fantastiese ontbyt met pragtige uitsig. Heerlike kamers met als wat nodig is en selfs heerlike beskuit, koffie, tee, warm sjokolade. Ons kon van daar af lekker stap en dis in veilige, stil woonbuurt. Houtbaai self is wonderlik en pragtig en daar is verskeie puik eetplekke.

Mooiste plek met die mooiste uitsig om jou.

Ons het ons tydjie by Hout & About vreeslik baie geniet. Ons het dit net as 'n oorslaapplek gekies en was nie baie daar deur die dag nie daarom het ons 'n klein kamer gekies maar dit was perfek vir ons. Alles was netjies en die leefarea en kombuisarea is pragtig. Die ontbyt is die lekkerste want jy kyk uit oor Houtbaai en dit is wat die plek vir my ekstra spesiaal maak. Thomas en Alica asook Monty en Fanny is vreeslik behulpsaam en vriendelik. Baie dankie.

Most beautiful place with the most beautiful view around you.

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.

We loved our stay, we would book the King room the next time with a view. Delicious breakfast too!

Location was perfect for our wedding at Tinswalo.

Vriendelik hosts en netjiese plek.

My enigste negative comment is dat die stort water was nie vir my 100% warm genoeg nie en dit kan verbeter word.

Friendly hosts and neat place.

My only negative comment is that the shower water was not 100% hot enough for me and this could be improved.

Perfect weekend away.

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!

Uitstekende ervaring.

Netjiese, skoon en wêreldklas gastehuis met die mooiste uitsigte. Die personeel is goed opgelei, vriendelik en behulpsaam. Kamers is baie modern en word ongelooflik netjies gehou. Die eienaars, Thomas en Alice is ongelooflik vriendelik en professioneel. Thomas is baie ingelig oor die Kaap en sy omgewings en het feitlik ons dag tot dag program vir ons beplan. Hy is ‘n chef wat heerlike ontbyt voorsit elke oggend en hy bemagtig sy personeel om dieselfde gehalte te bedien indien hy nie daar kan wees nie. Ons sal verseker met ons volgende besoek aan die Kaap hulle gastehuis eerste oorweeg.

Excellent experience.

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.

A beautiful room with a view, very kind and helpful hosts and a special breakfast prepared with dedication.

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.

Absoluut fantasties! Moderne kamers met die oulikste personeel.

Die gasvrou en gasheer is baie oulik, hulpvaardig en betrokke. Die kamers is modern en skoon. Ons het gehou van die Netflix opsie op die TV eerder as die gewonde DStv-kanale. Die ontbyt-area is besonders gerieflik met die mooiste uitsig - die prefekte manier om die dag te begin! Die ontbyt was heerlik met meer as genoeg opsies. Ons sal by geen ander plek as by Hout & About woon wanneer ons in die Houtbaai-omgewing is nie.

Absolutely fantastic! Modern rooms with the cutest staff.

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.

Excellent service.

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.

Apart from the breathtaking views, our family room was spacious, tasteful and very neat throughout our stay.

The breakfasts were 10/10 and the hosts professional, but warm.

Dit was een groot bederf.

Kamers heerlik ruim, bed en beddegoed van hoë gehalte, ontbyt was heerlik met 'n fantastiese uitsig en wonderlike persoonlike diens. Die enigste punt wat na die negatiewe kant neig is dat die warmwater so lank moet loop voordat dit warm is, in ons waterarm land is dit nie goed nie.

It was a big treat.

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.

Highly recommended.

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.

Perfekte ligging, asemrowende uitsig, vullende ontbyt en vreeslik behulpsame gashere.

Ons het na donker by Hout and About gearriveer en kon nie die uitsig sien nie, my asem was letterlik weggeslaan met sonsopkoms. Die gasheer en gasvrou, Thomas en Alice, het ons hele groep só welkom laat voel en ons selfs bygestaan met spesiale versoeke. Die kamers is prakties uitgelê en voorsien in alle basiese behoeftes. Die beddens slaap lekker en alles was netjies en skoon. Die ligging is perfek vir vissermanne en vakansiegangers siende dat dit naby die hawe is en die hoofpad maklik toeganklik is vanaf die gastehuis. Ons kan Hout and About werklik vol punte gee.

Perfect location, breathtaking view, filling breakfast and extremely helpful hosts.

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.

Everything you need away from home.

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.
