BOUTIQUE ACCOMMODATION HOUT BAY

A Private Luxury Hideaway in Cape Town
If you’re looking for boutique accommodation in Hout Bay, The Hout Bay Hideaway offers something refreshingly different. This intimate luxury guesthouse combines stylish accommodation, personalised hospitality and a peaceful garden setting with spectacular views of Hout Bay, the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding mountains.

Located in the historic coastal village of Hout Bay, just a short walk from the beach and around 20 minutes by car from central Cape Town, The Hout Bay Hideaway is an ideal base for discovering the Cape Peninsula while enjoying the privacy and tranquillity of a small boutique retreat.

Boutique Accommodation with Character

The Hout Bay Hideaway is deliberately small, accommodating a maximum of just nine guests. This creates a relaxed and private atmosphere that is very different from a large hotel.

Surrounded by yellowwoods, palms, wild olives and proteas, the property feels more like a secluded garden retreat than conventional Cape Town accommodation. Guests can relax on the sun decks, unwind beneath the vine-shaded veranda, explore the wild climbing garden or enjoy the solar-heated saltwater swimming pool.

For travellers who value privacy, comfort and individuality, this boutique guesthouse in Hout Bay provides a peaceful place to stay without sacrificing access to Cape Town’s attractions.

Elegant Hout Bay Guesthouse Accommodation

Each accommodation option at The Hout Bay Hideaway has been individually decorated with personality and attention to detail. Original artwork, Turkish rugs, antique collectibles, comfortable armchairs and mohair throws create warm, characterful interiors.

The three upstairs suites and one-bedroom Garden Apartment are all en-suite, with French doors opening onto private decks, verandas or garden spaces. Many offer beautiful views across the bay, ocean, mountains or indigenous gardens.

The Bay View Suite

At 54m², The Bay View is the largest suite. An extra-long king-sized bed, comfortable armchairs and a spacious private deck make it an inviting place to relax. The deck offers beautiful views towards Hout Bay, the ocean and mountains.

The Sentinel Suite

The 45m² Sentinel Suite faces west and is particularly appealing for guests who enjoy spectacular sunsets. Its extra-long king-sized bed, leather armchairs, Art Deco touches and covered veranda create a sophisticated yet comfortable retreat.

The Skylight Suite

At 38m², The Skylight may be the smallest of the suites, but it is designed for comfort. Mahogany French doors open onto a private veranda overlooking the indigenous garden and mountains beyond.

The Garden Apartment

The 70m² Garden Apartment is set within the indigenous garden and includes a private patio, sitting room, dining area and bedroom with an extra-long king-sized bed. It offers additional flexibility and is the only accommodation option where a child aged 11 or under is accepted.

A Relaxing Alternative to a Cape Town Hotel

Choosing boutique accommodation in Hout Bay means you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the attractions of Cape Town close by and the slower pace of a coastal village when you return to your accommodation.

The Hout Bay Hideaway is situated approximately 20 minutes from central Cape Town, while Hout Bay beach is only a short walk away. The location also makes it convenient to explore the Cape Peninsula, including the scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive, Hout Bay harbour and the many restaurants, markets and outdoor activities in the area.

After a day exploring Cape Town, guests can return to the Hideaway, take a swim, relax on a private veranda or simply enjoy the views and peaceful garden surroundings.
