Wolwekrantz Guest Cottage is situated in Hout Bay, up a mountain road, off the beaten track.
The romantic setting of our large property provides magnificent views of the Bay, the mountains which surround it, the harbour and the beach. In Hout Bay, everything is close and accessible. The quiet, picturesque beach is only 1km from our house, as are the variety of shops and restaurants.
Hout Bay is within easy reach of Cape Town's tourist attractions: we are 20 minutes from the V and A Waterfront, the City and Table Mountain Cable Car. A scenic route will take you to Cape Point and the penguins at Boulders in less than an hour and the Winelands are within easy access too.
Wolwekrantz tells of the history of the area, of a time, when leopards were mistaken for wolves. The cottage has loads of character, enhanced by natural stone, wood and terracotta. The open-plan lounge/dining room has comfortable sofas and Oregon pine furniture. It has large wooden windows which let in the view. The area adjoins a well-equipped kitchen with microwave, hob, coffee machine, kettle, toaster and fridge. For guests who come in the cooler months, there's an open log fireplace in the lounge.
The cottage sleeps four: the main bedroom has a queen-size double bed, built-in cupboards and an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. Like the lounge, it has large windows and a great view.
From the lounge, a wooden staircase leads to the second cozy attic bedroom, which children love. It has two single beds. There is a second bathroom downstairs with a shower and a separate toilet.
From Wolwekrantz you can walk up the mountain and enjoy a panoramic views, even as far as Cape Point.
If you prefer to relax , you can lounge by the pool in our magnificent garden, where a mountain stream feeds shaded ponds. Or enjoy the peace of our secluded, shady garden where you can braai, or simply watch the squirrels play in the oaks.
A bonus for our European guests is that host, Jacqui, speaks fluent German and Dutch and some French and is a registered tour guide for the Cape Town area.
