Pure Guest House

Tucked into Hout Bay in Cape Town, this stylish guesthouse sits near Llandudno Beach and within easy reach of World of Birds, Sandy Bay Beach and the Hout Bay Museum. It’s a coastal base with easy access to beach walks and local sights.

Pure Guest House mixes high-class design with a natural, joyful vibe. Only six individually decorated rooms mean a boutique feel; many rooms have private balconies or patios, minibars, espresso makers and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. The property runs on solar heating and even heats the pool with solar energy.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and spa tub, curl up by the lobby fireplace or browse the on-site library. Staff help arrange tours and transfers. Practical extras include an elevator, laundry and concierge services—plus a tour desk to plan hikes and excursions.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Limited on-site parking is available.

A complimentary full breakfast is served daily and the on-site restaurant focuses on fresh, wholesome fare using regional fruits, vegetables and selected local meats. Staff can also point you to the best local dining spots.
