Location. Looks unsafe to walk the neighbourhood. Nobody home to receive me.

Fabulous stay with D & J. The best breakfasts! Good company from the hosts if you want it, but also you can have your own space if you prefer. It's eclectic, but very stylish. Clearly they have an eye for presentation and culture. Their care for the guests was top notch - they lent me a teapot and a yoga mat when they saw my morning routine.
Great location - close to Cape Town and all that it offers, but away from it all.
Superb.

We spent three nights at Poseidon Guest House and it was an absolute bliss, truly like a home away from home. The hosts are incredibly warm and welcoming, making you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.
The patio and terrace offer breathtaking views over the harbour and the beach. Each morning you wake up to a delicious breakfast, with a choice between a yoghurt bowl, a classic English breakfast, or lovely pancakes, along with homemade bread and various drink options.
The entire house is beautifully decorated with great attention to detail and the property feels very safe and well protected. Everything is spotlessly clean and tidy also with daily room cleaning service. It’s also a great starting point if you want to explore not only Hout Bay, but the surrounding areas as well.
Thank you for a lovely time.

This place is all about the view and its dear, kind, welcoming hosts, Janni & Danie. The world needs more of these two warm treasures.
We drove Chapmans Peak Drive to get to Hout Bay and the views once at Poseidon are equally impressive. Every room, sofa, table, chair, sunlounger has THE view! You won’t be disappointed.
Our bedroom was large, bright and airy. Huge comfy double bed, with a view. Patio with furniture and the view! Large bathroom with plenty of towels. GREAT coffee/tea facilities (proper tea bags and a cafetière) milk in the fridge. Strong WiFi
Breakfast - Fresh home baked bread, fruit, eggs, bacon etc cooked to order and served with morning smiles and enthusiasm by our hosts.
I understand why guests return year after year and hope we can too. 5 ⭐️’s all the way!

Our room was comfortably large and well equipped (the mini fridge and smart inverter aircon impressed us by making no sound at all!) and absolutely quiet. Did not hear the neighbouring room either - very well built house!
The pool was welcome in the afternoon, the view exceptional.
We would come back for the breakfast alone (daily home-baked bread and THE most delicious pancakes and other options too).
First and foremost because the guest house is owner run and managed and Danie and Janni are such forthcoming, lovely and fun hosts, this guest house stands out like few others.
We highly recommend a stay here and will certainly be back.

The property was beautiful. The view was incredible, it was safe and secure and the breakfast was divine!
The hosts went above and beyond to help us when they found out we were unwell.
The resident dogs were so cute and friendly as well and put a smile on our faces each time we saw them.
If you need any washing done, the hosts are happy to do it for you however it is at an extra cost.
The water pressure in the shower was good, shampoo and body wash were provided however no conditioner.
Would 100% recommend staying here.
There was no PowerPoint in the bathroom.
Recommend getting dark coloured face washers for female guests to use to remove make up. We’ve seen this at other hotels throughout the world and it’s a great idea and helps minimise damaging white face washers/towels.
Would love it if conditioner was available also.

The hosts are great! They welcome you into their ‘home’.
It immediately feels relaxed and comfortable.
The rooms were clean, with fresh towels everyday.
Breakfast choice was simple but the fruit bowl was sensational.
There was nowhere to walk to but views from up the hill made helped. Think that’s more typical of Hout Bay rather than guesthouse.

Absolutely loved our stay here! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was next-level — warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming (the kind that makes you instantly relax and forget where you left your keys).
The breakfasts were fantastic — generous, delicious, and clearly made with care. Honestly, worth getting out of bed for… and that’s saying something. We absolute loved our post breakfast chats with the hosts as well! Add to that the superb view, which made mornings feel like a postcard and evenings feel a bit magical.
The host was incredibly friendly and attentive without ever being intrusive — the perfect balance. And a special mention for the host’s pets and their equally lovely animal friends: friendly, well-behaved, and an unexpected bonus that made the stay even more joyful.
Overall, this Airbnb felt less like a rental and more like being welcomed into a beautiful home. Would happily stay again and recommend it without hesitation — 10/10, no notes.

This was one of the best hotel stays we've ever had! Danie and Janni were so incredibly welcoming and friendly, we felt right at home and so well taken care of. Would have come for the breakfasts alone, they were absolutely divine! Overall, just a gorgeous atmosphere, incredible view and lovely company, couldn't recommend more.

This place is fantastic! The rooms were very comfortable and well appointed, stylishly decorated, the breakfasts were delicious and plentiful and it is run by two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. I hope my travels take me back to the area soon so that I can stay at this absolute gem of a B&B again.

We spent almost three weeks at Poseidon Guest House back in February and it was great. Danie and Janie are lovely hosts and made sure we were well taken care of during the entire stay. They provided recommendations, assisted with travel arrangements, fed us incredible breakfast every morning, joined us for the occasional glass of wine on their beautiful terrace and much more.
The guest house is located in Hangberg, with a stunning view over Hout Bay. A car is recommended to reach the town center and beach. Free parking is available. From Hout Bay, it's also just a short car ride to Camps Bay/Cape Town, Constantia winelands and Noordhoek via the famous Chapman's Peak Drive.
The rooms are very charming and comfortable, all with balconies/terraces and a nice view of the garden/pool and/or Hout Bay. There's a mini fridge available to store drinks and snacks. Common areas of the house, both indoor and outdoor, are beautifully decorated and very stylish, inviting guests to hang out and relax.
All in all: a great place to both chill and explore the area. Thank you Danie and Janie, we will be back!

The View was Amazing. I felt Safe.. the Breakfast was Amazing. I could not complain about anything...
Danie and Janie was so accomodating and were amazing Hosts.
You have to pass through the informal settelment to get to the House. So walking around from the House is a no no. You would need to drive out of the area park and then walk around. We felt safe... and the Hosts assured us its safe.
