Our hosts Gerard and Erica could not have been kinder - and Gerard's Gin and Tonics were fabulous. Brightwater Lodge is a few minutes... More

The location of Brightwater Lodge is perfect for accessing the beach without having to use a car. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and everything was just right. Good value for money in Hout Bay.

We found this property and booked online. This was a weekend and I'd had difficulty finding a vacancy in Cape Town after calling around to several places - so we searched for vacancies online and found Brightwater. We stayed 2 nights. The place is really nice and clean; great sitting room downstairs, clean nice furnishings, small fridge in the room.... More

Our stay was only for a few hours but the owners have been very nice and helpful and the house is very bright due to many windows and glas walls. We had a cosy, big room and enjoyed the freshly made breakfast in the morning.

Very nice place to stay during our trip to Houtbay. The owners Erica and Gerard make you feel like you're staying in their private home, with a very cozy atmosphere and a very nice breakfast. The place is close to the harbour, only a few minutes walk. If you need a dark room to sleep in, be sure they don't... More

Our family booked 4 rooms at the lodge for a one night stay. The rooms were lovely and the reception was very friendly and warm. The owners were able to provide information about sightseeing in and around Hout Bay. We really enjoyed staying there and will do so again.
