Vacation Rental Description
Nenya is a spacious farmhouse style guesthouse with more than a hint of Victoriana about it, overlooking the beautiful Disa River Valley. Nenya enjoys superb mountain views; a beautiful lavender walk in its exotic garden and is conveniently situated just 3 kms from Hout Bay village and the ocean. Its peaceful surroundings make for a truly relaxing holiday, whether guests spend their day by the pool, walking along the beach, or taking an in-house massage after a hard day sightseeing or shopping.
A full European style breakfast is on offer which can be taken on the verandah in good weather. Local ingredients are always used where possible, hams, salamis and cheeses, with fynbos honeys and preserves, or guests can indulge themselves in the hot bakery items which are different each day as are the selection of teas on offer.
I can arrange car hire or airport pick up (R250) ahead of your trip to allow you to experience everything the Cape has to offer and to ensure a stress free holiday from the moment you arrive or guests can combine their visit to Nenya with a golf package and play on one of the many fine courses within easy reach. I am also happy to book one of the many day or half day trips in and around the Cape including shark cage dives for the adrenalin junkies!
Area Description
Nestled comfortably between the Karbonkelberg and Skoorsteenkop Mountains lies the still active fishing village of Hout Bay 20 minutes drive from Cape Town. The trip along the stunning coastline in either direction makes the journey between Cape Town and Hout Bay a memorable experience or along one of the world's best ocean drives, Chapmans Peak - you may even be lucky enough to spot a whale or two!
Hout Bay offers all the necessities for a South African holiday to remember. With seal tours, yachting, enchanting mountain walks, horse trails, a wide range of restaurants, Sunday craftmarket and sunset strolls along the beach.
The famous Constantia wine farms and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, where visitors can enjoy a Sunday concert and picnic are just a short scenic drive away, along with Cape Town's famous beaches of Clifton, Camps Bay and Llandudno.
Here are just a few favourite things to do - there are many others!

Cape Point and the penguins at Boulders Beach…
Perhaps with lunch at ‘Cape to Cuba' in Kalk Bay or the Brass Bell (service is slow but right on the ocean). Kalk Bay is a quirky place full of arty, junky, antiquey shops. Drive on round to Simonstown an old naval town with the British influence still in place.
