    Peaceful area that makes you feel as if you're in the middle of the forest, yet you're in a residential area. It's close to so many amenities, yet you feel like you're getting away from the city life, but can go back there within mere minutes if...

    Everything was beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay pity we could only book for 2 days. The jacuzzi was our favourite you just need to add wood and keep lid up for faster and warmer results. I would definitely this place and go...

Find yourself only 30 mins away from the city yet feel like you're totally away from it all and off the beaten track. 3 beautiful cabins in an Indigenous forest at the foothills of a mountain - nature all around
I am curious and keep my finger on the pulse in all things wellness, food, design & travel I find travelling inspirational & make time to explore new destinations regularly. I'm fun & outgoing but make time for yoga and exercise. Love the outdoors & we are lucky to have nature every way you turn in Cape Town...running in the mountains & cold plunging in the ocean. Basically love life!
Hout Bay is so diverse and like a microcosm of South Africa. There's something for everyone here.. Hikes in the mountains, cold plunging in the ocean, restaurants, cafes, pubs. You can find everything you need here but it still has a village feel Wine farms of Constantia are 10 mins over the hill and town is a beautiful 25min scenic coastal drive away
