Trevor and June were gracious hosts at this lovely guest house. They were very available to make sure we were comfortable and knowledgable about our visit to Hout Bay and the general area. The accomodations were very comfortable and we loved the pool at the end of each day. The view is stunning, the breakfasts divine and this is a... More

Trevor and his wife are the perfect hosts. Very laid back and down to earth. We had the family room and it was the most comfortable bed ever! Breakfasts were superb and leisurely and we loved Themba the dog! Trevor kindly arranged a tour for us to the shanty town that was most interesting.

This was our fifth trip to South Africa and the second time we have stayed in Hout Bay. Trevor and June are perfect hosts, always available without being too over-bearing. The accommodation is clean and homely and the home cooked breakfast is a pleasure especially given the view. During our stay my wife was taken ill from the affects of... More

A great start to our first trip to South Africa. Trevor and Julie were very helpful, booking restaurants and making recommendations. We had a lovely rustic room with private balcony overlooking the harbour. This is a great spot to explore the Cape, Cape Town and some wineries. Just beware the entrance to the Guesthouse is very steep.

We stayed in the Family Room (also called the blue room because of the blue paint on the walls and ceiling) which, if you are only 2 guests, was like a little suite with a small sofa in a separate area. The room has a great view from all windows towards Hout Bay and a small balcony with 2 chairs... More

This guest house is situated on a hill that is about a 5 minute drive to the beach. The top floor rooms have balconies that overlook the bay. The view from the pool and ground floor deck is just as breathtaking. Trevor and June are amazing hosts who were so hospitable and friendly. We enjoyed our morning chats with Trevor.... More

Could not have had a better stay! From the moment June and Trevor greeted us at the front gate they could not have been more lovely. Gorgeous rooms, great location with amazing views and more importantly the most delicious breakfast! I could not recommend Amblewood more.

We highly recommend this place if you want to visit Capetown, yet stay away from all the hustle of the centre. Friendly owners, generous breakfast, quietness and wonderful views, it's all in the programme.
