My partner and I had an amazing stay at Bluemarie’s Retreat. Jan and his wife were attentive, accommodating hosts that went above and beyond to make our stay special. The room we stayed in was modern, spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was 10/10. The location is also central and easy to navigate. Will definitely be back again!

Very beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable facilities in a location just above constantia village. Excellent continental breakfast plus complimentary hot drinks at any time. Reasonably priced honesty bar, paid on departure. Laundry service available. Great hosts, efficient but not formal. Appreciate the lifts to local restaurants and sights from their driver ( Pinto). We did not have a hire a car but the lifts provided were offered at a good price, as is uber if you are stuck. Jenn & jacques make you feel totally at home. One evening we did not feel like going out so we ordered in from a local restaurant. Very much appreciated to be able to do this. Special mention to the gorgeous gardens and pool.

The beds at this property are so soft and the rooms super spacious and comfortable, just what we needed after a very long flight with jet lag, and for a 5 night stay. The location is perfect for shopping, eateries and vineyards, which are all close by, and it has very easy motorway access to visit the waterfront (north) or the beaches (south and west). The swimming pool was inviting and off-road parking and security most welcomed. The lovely housemade washed and ironed my clothes too, such a treat. We would definitely stay here again.

    We enjoyed every single moment at Poseidon! It's a place of exceptional friendliness, comfort and hospitality! The location and view of Chapman's Drive and the entire bay are outstanding! The rooms are both stylish and cozy with a nice personal touch. The living room is really an invitation to both a quiet evening at the fireplace or a chat with other guests or the very interesting and friendly hosts. The breakfast was incredible!

    Great location to explore various highlights of Cape Town and surroundings. It is also an excellent place to just relax and enjoy the garden and views. Outstanding breakfast. Hout Bay has a fair amount of nice restaurants. We stayed for 5 nights and would come back again. Luis was a great host.

    The house is in a quiet, secluded location, but only a short stroll (or very short drive) from town. Our well equiped spacious room looked out onto a lovely green, hillside garden; plentiful birdsong and butterflies. We breakfasted and "sundowned" each day on a veranda directly outside our room. It was all delightful. Msrtin and Sue, the hosts, were charming, friendly and helpful in all things. We could not be more pleased we stayed at Hout Bay Hideaway and will do so again if/when we revisit the area.
