Houtkapperspoort Mountain Cottages

Room for everyone. Space to breathe. A mountain setting to remember.

Poplar Cottage is a spacious three-bedroom retreat in the heart of the Houtkapperspoort valley, comfortably sleeping up to six guests.

The three bedrooms offer a comfortable mix for families and groups, with the main bedroom featuring a Queen-size bed and peaceful valley views, a second bedroom with two single beds, and an upstairs Queen bedroom tucked beneath the cottage's charming sloped wooden ceiling.

There are two bathrooms, both fitted with showers, making the cottage practical for a group of six.

The generous double-volume lounge, with its high wooden beams and comfortable seating, creates a welcoming space to relax and spend time together.

The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, fridge-freezer and washing machine, with a bar counter that makes preparing meals feel more social.

Outside, the private garden and braai area at the back of the cottage provide the perfect setting for relaxed evenings, with a firepit and seating for gathering under the stars.

At the front, the patio overlooks the estate and surrounding mountains, a beautiful spot for morning coffee or simply taking a moment to enjoy the peaceful setting.

A 5KVa inverter powers the lights and plug circuits, helping to make your stay more comfortable during load-shedding.

Explore Cape Town by day, then come home to the peace of Poplar Cottage in the evening.

Winter settles differently at Houtkapperspoort.

Crisp mountain air, quiet garden paths, and views that make you slow down for a moment and take it all in. Some days are made for getting outside, even in the middle of winter.

We still have winter dates available for those looking for a quiet mountain escape this season.

Cape Town just got closer this summer.

With increased international flight capacity into Cape Town for the 2026/27 season and expanded services from airlines such as Virgin Atlantic, travelling to South Africa’s most iconic coastal city is becoming easier and more accessible during peak holiday months.

That means more opportunities to turn long-haul travel into a simple escape, from city skylines to mountain silence in under a day.

Book your summer stay at Houtkapperspoort Mountain Cottages .

For decades, travellers have driven over Constantia Nek into Hout Bay, unaware of the hidden retreat tucked into the mountains just beyond the pass.

Here, uniquely styled stone and timber cottages sit surrounded by indigenous flora and fauna, with uninterrupted views across the valley. Each space is designed for comfort, privacy, and a slower rhythm of living, where mornings feel unhurried and evenings stretch into stillness.

This is Cape Town, away from the noise.

Cold mornings, mountain views, and a fire crackling inside.

This cosy 2-bedroom cottage is the kind of place that makes winter stays feel slower and more restful , whether it’s a midweek escape or a quiet weekend away. Spend your mornings overlooking the vineyards and surrounding mountains, then settle in for the evening with a glass of w**e by the fireplace or a relaxed braai under the garden lights.

Recently renovated with modern comforts throughout, the cottage sleeps four and offers peaceful privacy on the north side of the estate.
