General Overview
Located in Hout Bay, a hidden gem seaside suburb from Cape Town, our lovely apartment has sea views and worderful mountain views, i.e. Chapmans Peak, Karbonkelberg and The Sentinel.
Walking distance to the beach, mall, supermarkts, shops and restaurants makes all very easy going.
Beach (450 m), Mall (350 m) and supermarkts (Woolworth 350 m, Pick & Pay 450 m and Checkers 550m) and lovely shops - all in walking distance.
Distance to:
Chapmans Peak Drive = 1,1 km
Table Mountain = 10 km
Hout Bay Harbour = 2,8 km
Camps Bay = 10 km
Llandudno Beach = 4 km
Constantia = 6 km
Victoria&Alfred Waterfront=16 km
Cape Town downtown = 20 km
Cape Town Airport = 31 km
With a rental car - what is quite affordable - you can get to all tourist attractions very easily - from Table mountain, to Roben Island, Chapmans Peak Drive, Constantia Wineries and so many others. Uber works well too. Great food and perfect wine everywhere. My list of suggestions for great restaurants is very long.🤩
Cycling, hiking and water sports - all in Hout Bay and neighborhood.
For the ones on remote work 100 Mbps/100 Mbps available.

The apartment is very well laid out and equipped. Cape Town offers everything you could dream of: the beach, the city, the countryside, vineyards, and great food. We didn't rent a car and used only Uber. Over ten days, it was ultimately cost-effective and more comfortable. -
Elza was a true pleasure to communicate with. Very quick to respond and cares about making sure all goes well. And it did indeed as her place is well located to visit not only Capetown but its surroundings. The view from the balcony on the bay is a big bonus. I strongly recommend anyone to exchange with Elza! Thanks Elza and happy travellings. -
We had an amazing time at Elza and Thomas’ place in Capetown! The flat hads everything you need for a perfect vacation, all cooking utensils and a “wow” view!!! It was perfectly clean and ready for us. Hout Bay is such a nice community and it was very easy to navigate to all attractions in Capetown and around, despite my initial concerns about driving “on the wrong side of the road”, we got used to it quickly. Lots of great supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Elza and Thomas were perfect hosts and gave us many tips on what to do around. We had met them before in person, and it was so easy to exchange with them. Thank you!! -
Elza's apartment has everything you could need, with beautiful views over the ocean. Close to supermarket and places to eat. Go for a scenic drive around Chapman's Peak to Simons Town to see the penguins, or a equally beautiful 30 minute scenic drive to Cape Town via Camps Bay which has a gorgeous beach. Thank you for exchanging with us! -
We had such a lovely time in Elza's apartment! What a great location, with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. Really breathtaking to wake up to every morning. The apartment itself is very comfortable and complete: it really has everything you need, also for a longer stay. We stay there almost two weeks with two toddlers and it worked out really well. Hout Bay is a lovely area, with lots to do for both kids and grown-ups. Walking distance to the beach, grocery shops and some nice restaurants. We felt very safe walking around at day time. The communication with Elza was also flawless and she helped a lot with good tips etc. Cape Town has been amazing and we cannot wait to return! -
Thank you for a wonderful exchange. We loved your apartment, it’s in a great area, and so easy to visit Interesting places nearby. We really appreciated all your suggestions and information, it was really helpful. Best of all we were able to meet you and are looking forward to welcoming you to Scotland next year. -
Thank you Muriel and Paul for choosing our place and taking good care of it. We are happy you came all the way from George to meet us in Knysna. It was fun! And of course, we are happy to know you had a good time in Hout Bay. Looking forward to seeing you again in Scotland next year or before that in Munich.

Thank you Elza for the wonderful 10-day stay in your comfy condo. We hardly wanted to leave! We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and all the little touches you've added that made us feel at home. The view from the balcony was so peaceful and green, and we were entertained by watching the cars going up and down Chapman's Peak Road in the distance. We drove it multiple times ourselves to visit the beaches and towns on the other side of the peninsula- sooo special! ( Oh, and we saw those "blue chickens" strolling by every evening, just as you said!) Thanks too for all your local tips - we did the seal boat tour and tried many of the restaurants you suggested - all great. We loved walking around the local working harbour - refreshing to feel that we were in a real community rather than simply a tourist town. We walked to the little mall and grocery stores and found the "Collective" harvest table restaurant which we went back to for several delicious lunches. You have a gem of a place! We look forward to seeing you two in Ottawa in July. -
Thank you so much Melanie and Graham! For accepting our place, enjoying and taking care of it. We are very happy to have met you both and are looking forward to seeing you again in beautiful Ottawa summer!
