Slept well in neat clean rooms. Neat and clean as well as well equipped. Good hostess and very helpful. Not all rooms are en-suite; two rooms share a bathroom.

Lekker geslaap in netjiese skoon kamers. Netjies en skoon sowel as goed toegerus. Goeie gasvrou en baie hulpvaardig. Nie al die kamers is en-suite nie; twee kamers deel 'n badkamer.

The stay was enjoyable. We had a wonderful weekend, but there were issues. 1. I booked the entire house but found out that the owner had booked another couple on the Saturday, which caused me a lot of stress. The owner stays in the house, which we did not know, and had offered her room to stay in. However, this is right by the entertainment area outside, and I was not happy with an elderly couple staying there when we are having a bridal shower and there will be noise. We asked her to rather put the couple in the back room where they could not hear the noise. Due to that, there were not enough beds for us. The owner offered us a blow-up mattress, which we had to agree on, or else someone had to sleep on the floor. If you book the entire house, that means we want the house to ourselves, not sharing with other people; that is what we paid for. 2. The owner said it is a guest house, and as far as I know, there are cleaners who clean up and make up beds in the morning. If it is a guest house, there were no cleaners on the Saturday. 3. When we arrived, the scullery and braai room were not clean. There was one cleaner, and for the size of the house, she should have more than one cleaner, and maybe these areas would have been cleaned. 4. It was extremely hot, and when we saw the pool, it was green. I had to get my husband to come and clean the pool, which helped as the pool was nice and blue after that. 5. I have never booked an entire house, and the owner is in the house from 6 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon. If she did not give up her (office), she would have been there 24/7. This was very uncomfortable for us as we had to walk past her all the time sitting in her office. To get to the pool area, you need to walk through her office. 6. We asked for a discount due to all the issues mentioned, but she refused.

Firstly Annamarie, no parties are allowed on the premises and you had a Bachelorette party. I allowed it. Secondly, I do have 2 cleaners that help with the guest house as I told you 1 was sick on that day. All the rooms were in pristine condition. As for the pool, it was not green and I did not ask you to send your husband as I can sort out my own pool. Nowhere does it say that you booked the entire house instead you booked 6 rooms in a guest house. We do not make up the beds every day. I'm entitled to sit in my office and work. Not only did you have a huge kitchen to do your catering and use of my magnificent outdoor table and swimming pool to host your party, but we also have a strict no-party rule. The seventh room was for the Italian guests and if you were not having a huge party outside there would not be an issue. My house rules are "No Parties and quiet time at 22h00".

Eerstens Annamarie, geen partytjies word op die perseel toegelaat nie en jy het 'n Bachelorette partytjie gehou. Ek het dit toegelaat. Tweedens, ek het wel 2 skoonmakers wat help met die gastehuis soos ek vir jou gesê het 1 was siek op daardie dag. Al die kamers was in 'n ongerepte toestand. Wat die swembad betref, dit was nie groen nie en ek het jou nie gevra om jou man te stuur nie aangesien ek my eie swembad kan uitsorteer. Nêrens staan daar dat jy die hele huis bespreek het nie, maar jy het 6 kamers in 'n gastehuis bespreek. Ons maak nie elke dag die beddens op nie. Ek is geregtig om in my kantoor te sit en werk. Nie net het jy 'n groot kombuis gehad om jou spyseniering te doen en die gebruik van my manjifieke buitetafel en swembad om jou partytjie aan te bied nie, maar ons het ook 'n streng geen-partytjie reël. Die sewende kamer was vir die Italiaanse gaste en as jy nie 'n groot partytjie buite hou nie, sou daar nie 'n probleem wees nie. My huisreëls is "Geen partytjies en stiltetyd om 22h00".

Pleasant, tidy, good view. The beach is 5 minutes away and my room had a view of a beautiful mountain. The room was very clean, and the bathroom had clean shampoo and body wash provided, along with clean towels. The kitchen is spacious and equipped with everything you need, and there is a sparkling blue pool with a huge garden. The host was helpful and ensured a pleasant stay. There is also fiber WiFi and a TV in my room with Netflix. I would definitely recommend this stay; I had so much fun exploring Hout Bay.
