Hout Bay's best guest house 2026

CUBE Guest House
Highlight: Award-winning boutique guest house with a solar-heated pool, mountain & ocean views and personal host service
About CUBE Guest House
You are not just booking a room here, you are checking into one of five individually designed suites, each framing its own view of the mountains and the ocean. Every space has been thought through down to the last detail, so from the moment you arrive you feel the difference that award-winning modern design makes.
Mornings start at the solar-heated pool, where a homemade breakfast is served with the water shimmering and the peaks rising behind you. What truly sets CUBE apart is the personal touch: host Dirk hands you a complimentary local guest smartphone, plans your trip around what you actually want to see, and looks after the practical things too, with secure parking, free WiFi, Nespresso and Netflix in every suite.
The location does the rest. You are only minutes from Hout Bay beach, the working harbour and the famous Chapman's Peak drive, while central Cape Town is roughly 20 minutes away, putting the whole city comfortably within reach of your base.

The guest house holds multiple TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice awards, and the host's insider knowledge of Hout Bay and the Cape turns a simple stay into a genuine Cape Town experience, with personal tips and travel planning that no booking platform can match."
