Brightwater Lodge

Nestled in Hout Bay, Cape Town, Brightwater Lodge is a romantic bed & breakfast minutes from Hout Bay Museum and Sandy Bay Beach. Bay Harbour Market is within walking distance and the property sits about 14 km from Cape Town city centre, close to World of Birds and the Constantiaberg slopes.

The intimate property has just six guestrooms with in-room refrigerators, flat-screen/digital TVs, kitchenettes and coffee/tea makers. Expect a laid-back, romantic vibe with a garden, lounge and a small library — simple comforts with local character.

Take in the garden views, fire up the barbecue grills, or use tour and ticket assistance to plan Hout Bay adventures. On-site perks include a bar and lounge, free parking and guest services like laundry, ironing and safe-deposit boxes.

Free internet access, newspaper and baggage storage make stays straightforward, and on-site parking is available for guests travelling by car.

As a bed & breakfast, mornings start with breakfast on-site and a relaxed lounge/bar for evening drinks. For local flavor, popular nearby spots include Woodcutters Arms, Mojo's Restaurant & Tapas Bar, RT's Pub & Grill and the Bay Harbour Market.
