Good breakfast, lovely clean room and nice place to relax, well presented and car parking on site as well. We will return. The beds and bed linen are wonderful, we both slept very well. The pool is kept really clean and has nice loungers for relaxing.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights. Nice location, excellent accommodation, well presented and secure. We only had breakfast whilst there, which was very nice, and of good quality. We have no problem recommending Hottentots View as a place to stay.

Our two weeks stay was really wonderful. Every day it was a little bit like coming home. A wonderful, secure and peaceful place to be. Warm hospitality, a lot of valuable advices and a lot of more things you normally don't expect. We come back - for sure !

We stayed in Hottentot's view when visiting Cape Town and the WInelands and as a family of 5 were looking for adjoining rooms. The rooms were very clean and bright , breakfast was excellent, Josianne very friendly and the kids enjoyed the swimming pool.
