We travelled as a family of 5 with 3 active boys. The property is beautiful, with enough space for kids to run around, and we found a small reserve next to the property if you fancied a short walk during the day. The weather's been quite cold and rainy, so we have had plenty of indoor time - there isn't a tv. However, we managed quite well without one. Close to all the attractions in Hout Bay - fish & chip restaurants, on the myciti bus route, Chapmans Peak, etc. Good wifi, comfy beds, staff are on the property so they help with any issue, laundry service, clean property, and delicious breakfast every morning was an added bonus.

There is an informal settlement a few km away - it's next to the police station - but honestly, there were no safety issues here. We felt fine with our family. We were out late one night until after 11pm, and besides the poor street lighting- we felt absolutely safe in the area. We had plenty of blankets, but maybe add a heater in the bedrooms during the winter for added comfort.

Our hosts Silvia and Grant were very friendly and accommodating. The Waterland Lodge is a perfect place with nice garden views. Our lovely cottage with a spacy terrace was neat and well equipped. The Waterland Lodge is situated in a great safe neighbourhood with close proximity to many sightseeings, awesome beaches, shops, restaurants and nature attractions (by car). Each morning we were pampered with tasty breakfasts – provided in a picnic basket. The numerous recommendations and MUST SEES to visit were so special and exciting. We loved our stay and definitely would like to return asap. Thank you very much Silvia and Grant & Waterland Lodge team for your kind attention, helpful advice, especially making our wedding anniversary so memorable. “Hänsel and Gretel” - from Germany

The garden was exceptionally beautiful with all the water, mountains and all the places were one could sit and relax. The owners were very accommodating to our needs and could be contacted via Whatsapp. They granted us lots of privacy. The manager, cleaners, gardeners and even the dogs were also very pleasant. A special thank you to the sons who let is in late at night and Grant who arranged a wonderful breakfast basket for our first morning. We’d love to come again. Thank you for the marvelous stay.

The beds were too hard for us oldies.

The enitre place is amazing! They have lovely 6 dogs in the property who are absolutely adorable. They make the place lively. The whole setup is very beautiful and peaceful. The lodges are very nice and cozy. There is everything you will need in the kitchen too. Also the owners are very helpful and nice people to deal with. We loved everything about this place and would recommend everyone to stay here.

Well! Nothing to complain about. Our experience was wonderful.

A really beautiful location and an immaculately clean large bungalow style property that we had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks in as a family of 5. There is a great outdoor play area for children and private and shared outdoor spaces plus a nice pool. The cleaning and maintenance staff could not be nicer and the owners were really welcoming and even provided our boys with two boxes of toys to use

Absolutely nothing! It was a perfect family property

From the vibrant blossoms in the garden to the warm smiles of the people, everything in this place exudes an unparalleled charm. The river, winding gracefully through lush landscapes, dances with reflections of the sky, while the surrounding nature whispers the serene melodies of a forgotten paradise. This oasis, this little slice of heaven on Earth, beckons me with an irresistible allure. My soul yearns for more moments immersed in its tranquility, and I find myself counting the days until I can return to bask in its beauty once more.

Waterland Lodge exudes serenity and tranquility. Comfortable bed and luxurious linen, fully equipped kitchen. We had absolute privacy in our chalet even though it is attached to another, we did not hear a peep from next door.

The bathroom taps have a wonky orientation with the cold shower tap opening to the right while the hot tap opens to the left. This was more a source of entertainment rather than ire :). I also experienced a clogged shower drain however we were immediately assisted with that.

Gorgeous place for nature lovers ! Nestled between rocky mountains in the middle of a green oasis, the location is stunning. Big park and play ground for kids inside the premises. Pool also and deck overlooking the river. The bedroom is big and cosy, very quiet and relaxing night. It has all the necessary in the kitchen to stay for one week ! We felt home, the owner are super friendly ! thanks a lot ! Lot of hikes and trails around the lodge :)

Breakfast as an option payable would be a real plus

Unfortunately, We stayed short, only one night, but would book again and stay longer. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything you need for self-catering. Beautiful garden and easy access. We wanted something close to La Colombe, as we booked there that night, which is around the corner. Also, another nice place, La Parada, is around the corner.

Liked everything

Top staff, confort, breakfast, cleanliness. Absense of TV is strange, but it turned to be a good way to relax too.

I didn't have time to enjoi enough the facilities. If I had known it was this good, I would have programed more time at the place. Wifi not stable. Absense of AC good for health, but annoying in the afternoon, in the room we were.
