Twenty minutes' easy drive from downtown Cape Town, among the yellow wood, palms, wild olives, lemon trees and proteas of the lower slopes of Tierboskloof, the HoutBay Hideaway is a luxury retreat overlooking the historic fishing harbour discovered originally by woodcutters.
Private, spacious, carpeted apartments, with extra-large beds and cosy armchairs, many genuine antiques and original oil paintings, snug in winter with open fires and underfloor heating. Mountain and sea views through tall, wooden-framed bay windows.
Each apartment has access to the rocks and grottoes of the wild, climbing garden, the vine-shaded verandah, the barbecue area, saltwater swimming pool, and even a secluded, fully functional Victorian open-air bathtub under the trees in the garden.
