Hout Bay View Boutique Hotel

Perched on the slopes of Scott Estate, Hout Bay View is a relaxed boutique guest house built around its biggest asset: the view. A sunny terrace with a pool and hot tub looks out over the valley, the bay and the surrounding mountains, making it a lovely spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

Rooms are comfortable and unfussy, and the elevated setting gives the whole place a quiet, away-from-it-all feel while the village and beach remain a short drive downhill.

It does not reach the design polish or the personal, host-led service you get at CUBE, and the hillside location means you’ll want a car. But for the view, the pool and the price, it is an easy-going option worth considering.
