Our stay at this beautiful cabin in Hout Bay was absolutely incredible! The place itself was stunning, peaceful, and the perfect spot for our anniversary getaway. The host was beyond amazing. She went out of her way to make everything extra special. Everything was thoughtful, from start to finish, and it truly made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend this place!
