The Art Gallery Guest House - Thandekayo is situated in the quaint seaside village of Hout Bay, on the Atlantic seaboard of the Western Cape of South Africa.

The Republic of Hout Bay, as it is affectionately referred to by its residents, is a scenic twenty minute drive from Cape Town and only ten minutes from the magnificent Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

The guest house is located at the start of the garden and wine route, on the foothills of the amphitheater that guard the town in secure and scenic surrounds. From the balcony of the gallery guest house one enjoys a view over both the bay and mountains in this beautiful area of Southern Africa.

Thandekayo meaning "warm welcome" in Zulu offers 4 star luxury accommodation with five stylish African designed rooms, all en-suite. Photographs of Martin Osner and Koos van der Lende, two of South Africa's fine photographic artists are on exhibition throughout the guest house.

You are invited to enjoy a unique stay where African hospitality, art, wine and relaxation are the order of the day, in a seaside village that boasts immense beauty and character.
