Sandra & Barry
Our property was built originally as a large FAMILY home - there was an element in the original design to eventually convert into a tourist property--- the large mountainside garden has magnificent views of the valley & mountains in the distance.- its proximity to the wonderful seaside village of Hout Bay which is known for its ease of pace & being very central to the entire region of the mother city Cape Town - The conversion to a guesthouse with a feel of a home --- makes it easy to promote the "Home away from home" feel that we offer and share with travelers from all of the corners of the world.
Both my wife Sandra & I have always enjoyed the open minded views of most travelers and after many years in the commercial rat race of business and a long period of planning our "Tourist Venture" establishment, finds us in an enjoyable and rewarding space.
The name HOUT BAY means WOOD BAY, which the Dutch called it not long after landing in the CAPE of GOOD HOPE in 1652 -- they sent wagons to fell the big trees growing in the valley to build houses & indeed a part of the Castle that was established to protect the developing half way house between Europe & the Middle East.The fishing village that developed along side the numerous small holdings in the valley is still very much a part of the peaceful environment that was created back then.
