The Guest House is situated in an elevated residential area providing breathtaking views onto the mountain range and the sea. Be served with our fresh and home-made breakfast on one of our terraces or enjoy relaxing moments underneath palmtrees next to the heated swimming pool in our large garden area. Our modern and comfortably furnished house provides an open, amicable atmosphere to guarantee an entirely relaxing stay. Surrounded by green hillsides, Hout Bay is nestled in a valley opening out into a picturesque bay and small fishing port. Thanks to the central location, within a few minutes you can reach the city centre, stunning sandy beaches, beautifully situated golf courses as well as the Cape Town’s Wine Region. Furthermore, Hout Bay is the starting point for the famous corniches Chapman’s Peak Drive, which leads you right to the Cape of Good Hope.

I had a wonderful time at the Cube guest House. Dirk is a fantastic host. The place is located in a splendid area near the beaches. The rooms are clean and spacious, the breakfast is delicious, the place is very pleasant. You feel relaxed the first second your enter the house. Everything was perfect! Thank you Dirk. I hope to see you soon.

Cube Guesthouse was an incredible experience; I'll be brief in my review because in these cases, words don't do justice – you have to experience it. The manager and staff are super professional, guiding you with care and attention from the first booking contact throughout your stay. The location is excellent, perched on a hill above Hout Bay, convenient for accessing services and close to Cape Town. Our room was very clean, tastefully furnished, equipped with all necessary amenities, and had a spectacular view – truly deserving of its 4-star rating. The common spaces and garden provide a relaxing atmosphere and are well-maintained. The breakfast is rich with high-quality, healthy ingredients, offering a wide selection, with attention to personal preferences and requests.

First time at the Cape, stayed for five nights and wow, were we in for a treat! Premised and room meticulously maintained, warm-hearted reception (we even got a sensational breakfast upon arrival early in the morning after our flight). Tako is so attentive and good-natured with an abundance of positive energy that made our stay extra special. Location of the guest house is amazing, we were close to everything in the cape region. The support for all the activities we wanted to complete was out of this world, it is clear that the cube team knows what they’re doing and that any recommendation comes from years of personal experience and feedback on site and not from some arbitrary and outdated travel guide. This is traveling at its best, a clear recommendation, we will be back soon!

We had a fantastic stay in the Cube Guesthouse. The room was super clean, the house, garden and pool area very beautifully maintained and the host was very friendly, helpful and attentive. An excellent breakfast was served every morning at the pool. We will definitely come back.

In November of 2022 we traveled to Cape town for a wedding and stayed at The Cube. Dirk was incredibly helpful from the beginning of our plan. He responded quickly to all my questions and concerns and made our reservations so easy to complete. From providing transport to and from the airport, to assisting in excursion recommendations and event purchases, no detail of our trip was too small. His customer service was the reason we chose to stay at the Cube. The home is lovely. Each room is private and beautifully maintained. We were met every morning with a delicious breakfast, and the hospitality of Taku, the onsite manager. Fantastic staff meeting every need. We loved every minute of our stay. Great location. Safe. Easy transportation to surrounding areas. We can't wait to return to Cape Town and wouldn't stay anywhere else. Kathryn

A lovely two nights spent at the Cube. Dirk and Patrick were incredibly helpful whilst organising our stay and providing recommendations. Once there, Taku was a fantastic host and he and his family looked after us so well… their breakfasts were amazing! Would highly recommend.

We spent a week at The Cube in the hospitality of Dirk, Patrick, Paul and one of the staff members, Taku. Besides the beautiful view from the Guest House itself, and convenient location (a 20 Minute drive down the 12 Apostles Route to Camps Bay), we were looked after with a delicious healthy breakfast each morning to set the day right and hosts with the most! We were contacted in advance about restaurants (which were all booked and arranged for us); available tours (again, on direction of which one we liked it was booked for us) and rental car links. Highly recommend!
