Art Gallery Guest House - Thandekayo

Art Gallery Guest House - Thandekayo is located in the quaint seaside village of Hout Bay. It is a scenic 20-minute drive from Cape Town, at the start of the Garden Route on the foothills of the amphitheatre that encircles the town.

Guests can enjoy breathtaking views over the bay and mountains that guard the village. We offer luxury accommodation in five stylish African designed rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Photographs of Martin Osner and Koos van der Lende, two of South Africas fine photographic artists, are on exhibition throughout the guest house.

The village of Hout Bay earned its name from the Afrikaans word Houtbaai meaning Wood Bay and was first made famous in 1652 for its supply of timber to the Dutch colony. Hout Bay has since transformed into a bustling little seaside fishing village whose beauty and charm is unforgettable. This region of South Africa is picturesque to the extreme with both ocean and mountain vistas that will take your breath away. The village is a very popular tourist destination and is loved not just for its scenery but also for the relaxed lifestyle with an emphasis on nature, sun, sea and sand. If you are a lover of wine, you have definitely come to the right place.
