Hottentots Mountain View Guest House  

Perched in Somerset West at the foothills of the Hottentots-Holland mountains, this luxury guesthouse sits at the start of the Cape Winelands. It’s a short 5‑minute drive to Helderberg Nature Reserve and nearby beaches, about 15 minutes to Stellenbosch, 25 minutes to Cape Town International Airport and roughly 45 minutes from Cape Town’s central sights.

Five individually decorated deluxe garden cottages ring a sunny outdoor pool amid palm and olive trees. Each cottage has an en‑suite bathroom, a private terrace with mountain and False Bay views, separate exterior entrance, minibar, LCD TV, desk and electric kettle. A roof terrace offers 180° vistas and quiet garden nooks for relaxing.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and lounge on the sunny deck. There’s a braai/barbecue area, on‑site restaurant, free self‑parking and transfer service on request. Practical touches include an elevator, laundry and dry‑cleaning, safe‑deposit boxes and complimentary wireless internet. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and unwind poolside in the garden.

A conference hall is available for meetings and events. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected during your stay.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 7:00–10:00 in the garden room or up on the roof terrace. Lunch, dinner or a traditional braai (barbecue) can be arranged on request, and the location makes it easy to explore nearby wine routes between meals.
