About Yellowwood Forest Retreat

Escape to a peaceful forest retreat only 30 minutes from Cape Town, where three inviting cabins rest beneath the dramatic mountain slopes of Hout Bay. Surrounded by indigenous woodland, vibrant birdlife, flowing waterfalls, and picturesque walking trails, this quiet sanctuary feels far removed from the pace of everyday life.

Self-Catering Accommodation

Each cabin has been designed with comfort in mind and includes a fully equipped kitchen, a welcoming lounge with a fireplace, complimentary Wi-Fi, an outdoor dining area, a patio overlooking the gardens, and private braai facilities. Yellowwood Cabin, with its distinctive character, offers all the essentials for a relaxing stay close to nature.

Yellowwood Cabin features one bedroom with a king-size bed that may be arranged as twin beds if required. The en-suite bathroom is well appointed, while the open-plan kitchen, dining space, and lounge with a double-sided fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The deck includes a wood-fired hot tub, outdoor dining area, and braai facilities, making it an ideal space to unwind.

On-Site Facilities

Guests can enjoy access to a communal boma for evenings around the fire, as well as a shared laundry room that is equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer, and a spacious double-door freezer. Smoking is permitted in designated areas on the decks of each cabin, ensuring the comfort of all visitors.

Location & Attractions

The setting in Hout Bay combines natural splendour with lively village appeal. Guests may explore mountain trails, swim in the ocean, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of local restaurants, cafés, and pubs. Constantia’s celebrated wine estates lie just 10 minutes away, and the coastal road to Cape Town offers a scenic 25-minute drive.
