Welcoming and accommodating family who ALL (adults and children!) took efforts to make us feel at home. Amazing to stay in the cob house during an incessant Capetonian downpour - it's as solid as any modern house, but somehow more 'earthy'. Muizenberg is also a perfect location from which to access Cape Town.

We stayed here in January 2012 for two nights and had a brilliant time. The accommodation is beautiful and kept clean and in top condition. It kept cool despite the hot weather and was a peaceful haven for us, nice and quiet in the evenings and at night. The location is great, close to the beach and cafes etc and... More

We visited Samhitakasha Cob House in December and stayed there for 3 nights. We found the room really special, both in its outer form and in its interior. All very carefully crafted and designed to the highest standards of organic construction. Our hosts were very friendly and hospitable and made our stay very enjoyable. Only the overall location could be... More

A very unique natural room with lots of space. The bed is ‘very’ comfortable and stylishly made of re-claimed wood. It was interesting to read and view the house construction - of which is decorated in its own distinctive way. Staying here will reduce your carbon footprint as they re-use waste water and use organic materials across the board. Great... More

If you stay here be sure to read about the house’s construction. At the Cob House, you are basically renting a room and a bath with an outside entrance.... More

Not only did they fully accomodate us with everything we needed. ie. daily breakfast, organic shampoo and conditioner, information about the area, airport transport, and a day trip to cape point. They made us feel like we were friends of the family. For 2 females in their twenties it was great! To be honest i think it would be great... More

I didn't want to leave. Before I even met Simric and his wonderful family, he answered my emails and many questions thoughtfully and with much helpful detail. I was travelling solo. Simric came out late in the evening to collect me at the Cape Town airport. Yes, there is a cost for the service , but it was extremely reasonable!... More

The Cob House is indeed a unique and special place. I was attracted to this guest house by the philosophy behind it and when I arrived I was not let down at all. The room is very spacious and with the afternoon sun shining through the windows, the space feels so calm and serene. I love the colours, the beautiful... More

Warm welcome, serene atmosphere, separate entrance, perfect location for beach lovers, very very comfortable bed and the breakfast is just perfect ! The owners are lovely and an infinite wealth of information ! I also used and recommend the transfer from/to the airport via the owner.
