The view of the mountain from our balcony was amazing. The only criticism I have, was that the hot water ran out after one shower on our second day there ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin 17 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was good except food not up to standard ##### Kevin Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### JJH 31 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness #### Friendly and tidy mountain retreat Nominally clean and tidy. In need of a refurbishment. Staff friendly and helpful but service on the slow side ##### JJH Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Owen 9 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay with toddler over Easter. Stayed here for three nights over easter. Lovely location, lots of facilities, but could be in better condition (the childrens play room in particular seemed to have been abandoned). Nice walks nearby, good service, but clearly organised around large weekend wedding parties and not really organised for individuals staying during the week. Also, breakfast very expensive (possibly because they provide a massive buffet when there are few guests), netter to go across the road to the farm stop. ##### Owen ### 8/10 Good #### J 17 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Houw Hoek Hotel itself is lovely. But room 64 which I was given was far from the main hotel - above the service quarters and the garage where motorbikes were stored (and used from 6.30am) this meant that it was quite noisy. Breakfast was nice. WiFi was strong even during load shedding. It would have been lovely to have a map or layout of the premises in the room as I had no idea of all the facilities available. ##### J Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lost its charm The hotel suffers an identity crisis. It positions itself as holiday resort but is actually mode a conference/events centre. Very noisy and not so classy neighbours disturbed our afternoon rest as well as late night sleep. I pity anyone who thought they could relax there in the evening because there were two noisy disco booming functions till midnight. The old world charm is no longer for this destination. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Norman Antoinette 3 Dec 2021 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Pack clothes for just incase. We looked so forward staying at Houw Hoek Hotel, but my goodness it turned so cold in Elgin and unfortunately I did not pack for that freezing weather. The end result we came back home with the flu. EISH!!! Having breakfast I discovered that the dining room is long overdue for an upgrade. The area where the cook serves eggs is very dirty. Such a pity because it is a lovely place to visit ##### Norman Antoinette Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Noncedo 18 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Its am awesome place with excellent client service.

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Clinton 30 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Breakfast Our stay at the hotel was good. There are certain aspects that can be improved upon, namely; the pools need better upkeep, better play rooms for the children and more board games, the rooms could do with a microwave. The food at the restaurant was good even though we waited a lengthy period for it. The buffet breakfast is good, but it's the same thing everyday which starts to get boring. The area itself is somewhat boring so the hotel should make an effort to entertain the children. ##### Clinton Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KURT 2 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Service Excellence My wife and I took a break-away before the Christmas rush started. From the time of our arrival until we checked out, we were very impressed with the facilities, service and all that Houw Hoek Hotel has to offer. ##### KURT Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexia 8 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great venue.

The valley is beautiful and the walk/MTB route behind is really lovely. Staff are friendly and the food is good as is the coffee. I enjoyed my stay in an excellent 3 star establishment. I recommend it. ##### Michael ### 10/10 Excellent #### EW 12 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### EW Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHANTAL 22 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### CHANTAL Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pami 4 Jan 2025 ##### Pami Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cornelius 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Staff & service ##### Cornelius Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Yun hung 30 Jan 2024 Liked: Room comfort ##### Yun hung Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [H10 Casa Mimosa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-H10-Casa-Mimosa.h16045375.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterpark in Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Dubai-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d1079-twaterparkhotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Mont Rochelle Hotel & Vineyard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mont-Rochelle-Hotel-Vineyard.h11491984.Hotel-Information) > > [De Zalze Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-De-Zalze-Lodge.h1752930.Hotel-Information) > > [Chapter House Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Chapter-House-Boutique-Hotel.h3155222.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spier Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Spier-Hotel.h558209.Hotel-Information) > > [SantAnna Luxury Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Santanna-Luxury-Suites.h60094505.Hotel-Information) > > [Avondrood Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Avondrood-Guest-House.h12640404.Hotel-Information) > > [Jordan Wines Luxury Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Jordan-Wines-Luxury-Suites.h15153714.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Paris Les Halles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Novotel-Paris-Les-Halles.h24795.Hotel-Information) > > [Stellenbosch Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Stellenbosch-Manor.h38809147.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Venice-Resort-Spa.h8841989.Hotel-Information) > > [Boschendal Farm Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Boschendal-Farm-Estate.h15426059.Hotel-Information) > > [Franschhoek Country House and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Franschhoek-Country-House-And-Villas.h3190240.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Paris Montrouge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Paris-Montrouge.h1903376.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Vilamoura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilamoura-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Vilamoura.h4508056.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Franschhoek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Franschhoek.h1556523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bedlington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bedlington-Hotels.d6341322.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mont d'Or Franschhoek](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mont-DOr-Franschhoek.h17036842.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sans Souci](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gabicce-Mare-Hotels-Hotel-Sans-Souci.h5133554.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa by Dream Resorts ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Le-Franschhoek-Hotel-And-Spa.h2712978.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars ### Packages > [Shetland Islands Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shetland-Islands.d6051156.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Kaliningrad](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kaliningrad.dx1798)
