Pros: accomodation and breakfast 11/10. One of the best I've ever experienced in South Africa. Great security and they cater for fully halaal. The beds were big and comfortable. Cons: our air didn't work in the heat of Summer (35deg). Not enough swimming pools and they are surprisingly small. Bar fridge in the rooms were small and only limited dstv channels. Only heated pool is at the spa and available when doing a treatment.

We stayed at the Houw Hoek hotel for one night. We had great service and their cocktails were amazing! We left early the next morning, before breakfast times, and the kitchen prepared a breakfast for the road! Thank you for going the extra mile!

It was amazing. There were views of the mountains with hiking trails, fun areas for the kids, friendly and helpful staff, and amazing food from the chefs.

We booked for a mid-week family break and found Houw Hoek well-situated for day excursions, It also provided very comfortable accommodation, very good breakfasts and an interesting menu for evening meals. It also provides many other facilities which unfortunately we did not have time to use on this trip

Having driven past this little gem many times, we thought it was worth a punt and duly booked a Saturday night. We are glad we did… The Houw Hoek hotel is beautifully nestled under the mountains and boasts a spa; kids play area, Padel courts (the real reason we went!) and a few nice little shops where you can buy the necessities, get a cup of java and book the Padel courts. The room we stayed in (26) was just the right size and had a double bed as well a single bed in the unit. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great (not always the case). The room had a fireplace in it,which would be very welcome in winter, as well as the standard kettle, coffee, tea and more than enough milk! Saturday evening is famous for the “dinner dance” which comprises of a buffet (fish, lasagna, roasties, pork and beef with the requisite salads and a dance evening!! A myriad of desserts and a coffee bar make this a very pleasant dining occasion. There was a DJ and you can dance the night away. Price - R375 per person All in all the Houw Hoek hotel is well worth a visit.
