Set in a tranquil valley and surrounded by mountains and sea, the village of Hout Bay offers a restful and increasingly popular destination. Situated at the begining of the wine and Garden routes; 20 minutes drive from Cape Town City Centre; only 10 minutes from the Kirstenbosch Gardens; and 1km to the beach and centre of Hout Bay.

Thandekayo meaning "warm welcome" to our home, is a luxury 4 star guest house. Thirst for light, open space and modernity in combination with an African feeling, is what you feel when you enter the Guest House or one of the 6 individually designed rooms each with their own private deck / terrence. The Thandekayo lounge leads out on to the large balcony. The view from here stretches from Chapmans' Peak to the Back of Table Mountain. Overlook the Bay of Hout Bay, the beautifully landscaped garden or relax on one of the deckchairs at the secluded pool (heated) area. The house displays a modest collection of contemporary art. A full or continental breakfast is served in the Thandekayo breakfast area. Or enjoy your breakfast on the large balcony while watching the sun rise from behind the Mountains.

We hope that when people come to stay with us, they will say: "we feel at home, we feel good". That is what we want. So it should not only look good, but most particularly feel good around you too. Our aim is to give everyone a memorable stay at Thandekayo Guest House.
