Chapmans Peak Beach Hotel

There was secure free parking. We had a nice view and balcony looking out at Hout Bay. The complimentary breakfast was very nice each day. The room was large and the tub a nice extra feature. Its a historic hotel with interesting photos. The bed was comfortable. Good fish restaurants nearby. Its right on the road to Chapmans Peak Drive.

The location was a bit farther from Cape Town than we may have preferred, but is right on the water at Hout Bay. The pool was unheated in May. It was many steps up to get to it, not quite like it is seen in the photos.

The Hotel is perfectly sited for a commanding view of the beach looking across from the southeast, enjoyment of beautiful sunsets from hotel balconies, close proximity to beach bars and nearby international cuisine restaurants, and for short drives or walks to shops and markets. I have stayed at Hout Bay several times before but never at a finer location. The interior restaurant, bar and lounge areas have the paneled oak charm of a Victorian gentlemen's club and the elevated outside veranda area is a favorite place to pass an afternoon observing the local scene. Gated guest parking assures the safety of both you and your vehicle. The staff is very helpful and accomodating. Breakfast is cooked to order. Conveniently close to the airport, 35-45 minutes depending upon traffic conditions.

The restaurant menu is rather limited and somewhat pricey compared to nearby restaurants such as The Beach Bar and The Dunes Beach Restaurant, both across the street and within easy walking distance. Dario's Cafe, a few minutes' walk away on the same side of the street, serves fine Italian cuisine at quite reasonable prices. Dario's wife is from Italy and runs the kitchen.

The location was excellent. The room was nice and clean and spacious and the fact that there was a restaurant/bar on the ground floor was a real benefit, meaning you didn’t have to go ‘out’ every night

Most of the staff were wonderful, however I felt the breakfast staff were not particularly engaged

One of the most amazing views and locations of any hotel rooms in Cape Town. Went for a run on the beach in the morning - lovely.
