Houw Hoek Hotel

There staff is beyond customer service, they are friendly, helpful and just amazing! The food is incredible!

It was amazing. There were views of the mountains with hiking trails, fun areas for the kids, friendly and helpful staff, and amazing food from the chefs.

Having driven past this little gem many times, we thought it was worth a punt and duly booked a Saturday night. We are glad we did… The Houw Hoek hotel is beautifully nestled under the mountains and boasts a spa; kids play area, Padel courts (the real reason we went!) and a few nice little shops where you can buy the necessities, get a cup of java and book the Padel courts. The room we stayed in (26) was just the right size and had a double bed as well a single bed in the unit. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great (not always the case). The room had a fireplace in it,which would be very welcome in winter, as well as the standard kettle, coffee, tea and more than enough milk! Saturday evening is famous for the “dinner dance” which comprises of a buffet (fish, lasagna, roasties, pork and beef with the requisite salads and a dance evening!! A myriad of desserts and a coffee bar make this a very pleasant dining occasion. There was a DJ and you can dance the night away. Price - R375 per person All in all the Houw Hoek hotel is well worth a visit.

The peaceful nature, green grass surrounded by the mountains was amazing. The cleanliness of the rooms made that wanted to stay in room for my holiday.This a beautiful holiday resort.

What an absolute joy it was staying at Houw Hoek Hotel. From the welcoming and lovely staff, to the fantastic facilities and food. Also, the view is breathtaking. I could probably write an entire review about the view alone. We were made to feel at home and everything was effortless. We had dinner there as well and the food was amazing. There was a slight wait, but that is to be expected with a dining room of that size PLUS a wedding that was happening in the other area. Good things require patience, and the food was definitely good! Upon leaving (a Sunday) I noticed my vehicle had a severe puncture and the hotel allowed me to leave my car there overnight so that I could go get it sorted on the Monday. The security guard even helped me with the change! It was an honour to stay at such a marvellous place. Thank you!

Our family all came together at the Houw Hoek Hotel to celebrate our Mother/Grand Mother's 82nd Birthday. The facilities are clean and well kept. Lots to do to keep every one busy (4years old to 84years old). Swimmingpools were a hit, as was the Paddle Courts. Breakfast buffet was lovely with lots of delicious options. 2 issues that management can possibly look into: - Dinner Services is VERY slow. Food was good, but waiting for more than an hour for food, when you have little ones at the table is not acceptable. I understand that they were busy... but still. - Towels are taken away every day to wash/dry. This means that you come back from Paddle or Pool to take a shower and there are no towels in your room. This can be avoided through not replacing towels everyday (which most hotels do these days) or having enough towels to replace when the rooms are being cleaned. Overall a good weekend break away. We will definitely visit again.
