Baie oulike plek!!!
Dirk& Madleien Mulder,Tanzania
We were very pleased with the spacious accommodation and my family from overseas loved the house. The beds were very comfortable and all amenities were more than adequate. We were very spoilt with everything available and I am sure we will be back for another holiday in the Cape. Anita and Gerrie you were wonderful, friendly and helpful and made us fell at home.

We enjoyed very much our stay in BushGlam, the location was perfect to visit both the Blyde River canyon and the Kruger. The accommodation was very nice and convenient. As the house is close to the village itself you will not only always hear those beautiful bush sounds. During the South African winter months the swimming pool turns quite cold because the nights cools it off quickly, although during daytime the weather is nice and warm with lots of sunshine. But again, we had a great stay. We would come again tomorrow if we could!

Great to have 2 separate housing spaces adjoined. The children enjoyed the games and toys. Great kitchen. Nice upper master bedroom. Overall a good and enjoyable stay.

Hi Anita & Gerrie Thank you for the lovely stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and must say that you are forced to relax in such environment which was must needed. We will definitely consider yourselves for our future travels

Bryan and family, France
This is a beautiful home and very very clean and well kept inside and out. We had everything we needed. Our stay there was perfect. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay around Kruger Park. The little town also is delightful. I would give our stay a five stars rating.
Ginette and friends, USA
Villa Tranquillity really was superb. The photos didn’t really do it justice. What a beautiful home! There was so much space, and every conceivable thing required was there for us to use. We really couldn’t fault it for comfort, warmth and such a homely feel. We had a brilliant time. Hout Bay was a peaceful and beautiful spot and really was an excellent location to explore from. The villa is near to everything you might need, but also secluded enough to relax in. Email communication has been excellent, and thus the booking very easy. As always there is some nervousness when dealing outside of a larger organisation but Lobecotours is good proof you can and should trust the smaller operators. Thank you 🙂

The house was absolutely beautiful! It was perfect for our family holiday! Loved every minute we spend in that amazing house! I definitely recommend everyone to go there if you have the possibility! It Will be worth your money!
Family Harleman, Netherlands
We had a lovely stay and it was a pleasure meeting you as well! I’m sure you’ll see us again in Hout Bay long before we meet in Hoedspruit though, we loved it there 🙂 We had a great experience with everything and I can really just give a thumbs up all the way! Thanks again for all your troubles! Hopefully we will be in for another run next year again.

It’s time for us to leave your stylish place :-(! Thank you very much again for having us here. We thoroughly enjoyed it, making use of everything from outside grill to pool. The kitchen is the best stocked one my wife and I have stayed in around the world (all the knives sharp, perfect utilities). And everything else, the baths and rooms just tastefully designed and decorated (starting virtually from the floor!). We are moving on into Timbavati but some other time will certainly come back to South Africa, then to Cape Town to see friends and – surely be in contact with you about some place to stay. Thanks again!

‘n Heerlike, goed geleë, puik gastehuis! Mooi, moderne afwerkings en goed toegeruste huis. Vriendelike ontvangs by gastehuis met ingeligte info omtrent die omgewing! Heerlike verblyf!
Family Rousseau, South Africa
Everything was in perfect condition to enjoy unforgettable holidays. Very spacious and modern apartment. I can recommend this lovely and safe apartment. Anita & Gerrie were very nice, reliable und uncomplicated hosts. Thank you very much for your warm welcome!
Sebastian Lesch, Germany
It was nice meeting you too at the Gables, and I must say we had a very good time in Hout Bay. The house was perfect for the family: it was bright, it offered plenty of space and we felt just like home. Your presence and explanations upon arrival were also much appreciated. I have already advised one of my colleagues to get in touch with you for his planned holidays in Cape Town. All the best for the future !
Family Lys, France
My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bushglam, so much so that we had to ask to stay another day because we couldn’t bear to leave! We absolutely loved the house and the furnishings make it something really special. The bathrooms are gorgeous and it was lovely to have such a huge shower – a real treat. The kitchen was also fabulous. The house is in a great area and we loved the Hat and Creek which was within walking distance, there is so much to do in the area so you’ll never be bored. We loved Bushglam so much and would go back there in a heartbeat – I have recommended it to all my friends and family in SA and the UK. Anita and Gerrie seem very helpful and friendly and if you send an email, there is always a very prompt response.Thank you for a wonderful stay – I am hoping to return there one day as we had such a good time.
Family Savage, UK
The accommodation was brilliant thank you, we really enjoyed our stay!!It just went by too quickly! The service from all of you was great thank you, we would certainly come back if the opportunity arises.
Family Liebenberg, South Africa
We had a wonderful time at BushGlam and we were sad to leave for home after the ten-day stay. The house is situated on the quiet edge of the tranquil Hoedspruit. Fine restaurants, nice shops and a little further a Spar supermarket are close by. We’ve found the house exactly as we’d seen on the internet site and it felt like home straight away. All descriptions and photo’s are accurate, so it’s not necessary to repeat this. The folder with house rules and things to do was very useful. We practically used it as a checklist and have done almost everything, never a dull moment and every activity was a great success. Once tired of all the activities we enjoyed the comfort of BushGlam, especially the large pool. The greater area around Hoedspruit is packed with beautiful scenery, wonderful areas to visit and joyful and interesting activities. Off course the safari opportunities are excellent with all the game reserves and parks all around Hoedspruit. We like to go somewhere else on every holiday, but we are not ready with South Africa and the Hoedspruit area yet. BushGlam has been a perfect home base and we certainly would like to return.
Family Roos, Netherlands
Thank you very much – we thought bush glam was just perfect! Clean, well managed and gorgeous with everything we needed! Thank you very very much, we will be back.
Gia, South Africa
We really enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped, it gives you a sense of security that you do not get everywhere, and the bed in the main bedroom is glorious. We all were able to get the rest that we urgently needed. Hout Bay is beautiful. Anita & Gerrie are lovely people who went out of their ways to accommodate us. Thank you for your help and the professional manner in which you handle our accommodation. Everything was exactly as you said it would be.

Awesome place, thought of everything, enjoyed every minute, especially the outdoors – cosy, warm, felt right at home.

Wayne & Susan, South Africa
We had a wonderful time at the Gables. We’ve rented quite a few holiday homes over the years and found the Gables to be a very well equipped home with plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses etc. Also the kitchen appliances were first class. Ours and our friends experience overall was excellent and we would not hesitate to come back to the Gables again. Anita and Gerrie were extremely helpful and answered any queries that we had immediately. Again thank you both for everything. We would definitely use Lobecotours again if we were travelling to the area.
Family Mahoney and friends, UK
The Gables is a wonderful place to stay. We had many memorable nights dining together, sitting out and staring at the marvellous african night sky. Nevertheless, it was a pity we couldn’t use the pool and jacuzzi as it was winter. Hopefully we’ll be back in the near future for another holiday! Cheers!!!! It was great to see both of you and your kind hospitality coupled with your efficient assistance during our stay. Indeed we are humbled by the kindness of all the people that we met and we hope both of you have a lovely time in the african paradise. On behalf of my group, I’d like to say a big thank you. Ayoba!
Md Osman & Friends, Singapore
We enjoyed our stay at BushGlam. The property is very neat and comfortable with everything close at hand. We will definitely go back during summertime to enjoy the pool and outdoors as well.
Fam. van der Merwe, South Africa
Beautiful house, all luxury comforts one wishes, we enjoyed the pool and all luxury. Experienced Anita & Gerrie as being very helpful, adequate professional approach, great service!
Family Peppenster, The Netherlands
Na een verblijf in diverse landen in Zuid Afrika zijn we de laatste week neergestreken in BushGlam in Hoedspruit. Een schitterend huis voorzien van alle comfort en faciliteiten, ruime slaapkamers en twee badkamers. Een heerlijk en gezellig verblijf, zowel binnen als buiten. Heel centraal gelegen in een van de mooiste delen van Zuid Afrika, dichtbij het beroemde Krugerpark, de Blyde River Canyon en Panorama route. Snel en gemakkelijk bereikbaar vanuit Johannesburg. Kortom, een prima luxe uitvalbasis voor een ontspannen en bijzondere vakantie. Zeer aan te bevelen!

Great accommodation in Hout Bay. The hosts were extremely accommodating. The house was lovely and very close to the beach. Thanks, it was a great holiday in Hout Bay!
Family Gray, South Africa
We have spent five wonderful days at BushGlam. The house is beautiful furnished, very comfortable and we really felt at home! Hoedspruit has got nice shops and very nice restaurants, we especially enjoyed the food at The Hat and Creek. The morning game drive at the Thornybush Reserve was fantastic and really worth it getting up so early!
Eva and Jean- Pierre, Switserland
Convenient, fully equipped and fantastic service. The property was very spacious and had all the facilities you could imagine. The wood burner was superb on the cold winter nights and the pool was even warm enough for a mid-winter swim. Anita and Gerrie were so helpful it was amazing, they couldn’t do enough to help and were so responsive. The location of the house was superb and we were able to walk to the beach and shops/cafes in town. Highly recommended!
Family Johnson, UK
Wonderful accommodation! Really was coming home for the past week !
Family Chetty & Lewis, Canada
Very Nice and pleasant house very well furnished. The garden with the pool are really amazing. We spent 4 Lovely days there. We recommend.
Family Loic, South Africa
Having never been to South Africa before I found this house on the internet and booked it for the days prior to and after my wedding in Cape Town via Anita (as well as car hire) and I absolutely adored the house. Anita was very helpful via email, quickly to respond to any queries without making me feel like I was nagging and met us at the house providing so much useful information about the area and things to do etc. It is in a safe, beautiful area and I highly recommend the Gables – close access to a little shopping area and walking distance to buy your food supplies! Will definitely book it again when we go back to Cape Town. The house was for a few friends, family and ourselves and everyone was very pleased with it including my 18month old niece who had a massive box of toys to play with. The accommodation was exactly as it looks in the picture and met with our expectations, so many places never look as good as they do on the internet.
Lara Gaibie, UK
The accommodation was fantastic. Very modern, clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend. We unfortunately didn’t see any animals from the garden, but I am assured and seen photo evidence that animals do come. Anita & Gerrie have been fantastic and always helpful. I would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay. Our holiday unfortunately ends tomorrow. We will definitely recommend BushGlam to friends.
Family Cartmell, UK / Angola
Got back to work and straight into it. Thanks for everything and the Blyde river boat trip was great and will recommend to my friends as well as staying at Bushglam. Thanks so much for all your input towards our fantastic stay.
Paul and family, South Africa
Cette maison est magnifique très accueillante et confortable. Nous n hesiterons pas à y retourner lors d un prochain séjour.
Stephanie Robbe, France
We had the most wonderful stay at BushGlam, and would recommend it to anyone at any time. The house is absolutely equipped with everything and in the most beautiful surroundings. (Just a pity mom decided to book a holiday in winter and an 11 year old had to watch the swimming pool… Nope he did try it out and loved it) Anita, your suggestions to what to do was most helpful and we enjoyed our activities as we had an opportunity to pre-book for most of the activities. Tshukudu was fantastic and will go back any time. All and all a most enjoyable holiday as the accommodation was home away from home and town and area well worth a visit.
Family Celliers, South Africa
Thank you so much again for everything. We truly had the holiday of a lifetime and have come away with lasting memories. Hopefully we’ll see you again in the future. The accommodation was better than we had expected. The pictures do not do it justice. Everything was clean and tidy and well decorated. Whilst we didn’t use the cooking facilities in BushGlam or Chapman’s Peak as there were some fantastic restaurants within walking distance, it was nice to know we had the luxury of eating in if we chose to. The beds were incredibly comfy and we got a good nights sleep so it meant we were well rested for the tours the next day. The TV was a godsend to Gavin who enjoys watching the sport so having that in the accommodation meant I could do my own thing whilst he kept up to date on the sporting news. Both BushGlam and Chapman’s Peak are well situated and have all the amenities you would want close by. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back to either in the future! Cannot fault the service you have provided. You continually went above and beyond to make sure our experience was first class. The accommodation was amazing and it is credit to you both on the wonderful job you do to make people’s holidays memorable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to friends and family and I really hope to use Lobecotours again in the future. Take care and thank you again!
Lindsey & Gavin, UK
We are now back in Finland. We were very pleased to your work which was very professional and helpful. We really liked the house which was very good and gave us base for a week. Many thanks for the owners too. All of us liked it very much. Special thanks for the kitchen with gas oven and stove which were excellent for cooking which we did and enjoyed. Only thing you could highlight more is the splashpool. We were not sure if that could be used for swimming and playing with children but could easily. That was exceeding our expectations. So everything was fine. All the best for both of you and your work.
Leinonen and Immanen families, Finland
The house is fantastic. We felt very safe and enjoyed the secluded feel of the property. It is very comfortable; very well equipped, the gardens are very well maintained and the pool is great. It is also very child friendly – our son loved all the toys! We found Hout Bay the perfect base from which to explore Cape Town and the house’s location in Hout Bay and proximity to the shops was very useful.
Alistair Macleod-Smith, UK
We have returned to good old Europe and are glad, that the sun is also shining here! It has been a great pleasure for us staying at BushGlam again and even longer than last time. We enjoyed every minute at your beautiful home, it’s so comfortable. A home away from home! Marilize takes care of everything and Thandi is doing a good job! Thank you also for your kind hospitality. We will let you know, if our holiday plans will lead us to South Africa again. All the best for both of you and kind regards from sunny Switzerland.
Eva and Jean-Pierre, Switserland
Het huis was erg gezellig, comfortabel en heeft veel charme. Uitermate geschikt voor gezinnen met kleine kinderen, aangezien er volop speelgoed was, zowel binnen als buiten. Je hoeft nauwelijks op te letten, want de tuin is goed omheind. Het huis geeft ook een heel veilig gevoel. Het contact met jullie, Anita en Gerrie verliep helemaal naar wens. Jullie hebben een heel passend huis aangeboden en ook de autohuur geregeld. Erg prettig allemaal. Wij komen heel graag weer eens bij jullie terug!!

Great. really nice place with lots of homely details and extras that made it a very easy and relaxing place.
Posy, James, Sam and Finn, South Africa
We loved the penthouse. It’s beautiful, nice and clean and situated at a lovely place in the centre of Hout Bay. Super is also the parking place for the car in the garage. We reward it with a 10. Great experience with Anita en Gerrie. Lovely people, very hospitable and great service.
Family Reijnders, Netherlands
Lovely place to stay, very well equipped, we had a good time!
Stracke, Germany
My wife and I have stayed in a number of apartments in Hout Bay over the past few years most of which were significantly more expensive than the Chapman’s Peak Penthouse. The comfort, spaciousness and brightness leave it head and shoulders above the others that we have rented. The cleaner, who came every week, left the flat immaculate. The flat is extremely well equipped and the wifi is the fastest we have experienced in South Africa. The security is also excellent. There are roughly 10 restaurants within two minutes walk covering just about every ethnicity. Anita was a very pleasant and attentive hostess. We spent a month here and would strongly recommend it to anyone.
Alan Kemp, Scotland
Great stay, very nice pool and Jacuzzi, had a blast though the weather a bit cool, great BBQ. Enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thx again!
Graham & Gabrielle, UK
We absolutely loved the house with all the space planned in a way that it encouraged both togetherness and a lot of space to find your own place of peace and rest. We fell in love South Africa! Hout Bay is huge beautifully located surrounded by all these beautiful mountains, the beach and the blue bay. The short distance to Cape Town for shopping and proximity to Chapman’s Peak to tour the way down to Cape Point means that there is so much within easy reach to experience. Everything has worked perfectly, from booking to communication both before we travelled from Sweden until we were on location in South Africa. Management was present in a very good and balanced way. Friendly, service-oriented and gave good, clear information. We want to thank for giving us the opportunity to rent this home. Because we felt we did not rented a house! We came to a home where we immediately felt at home in. It was worth much more than to rent a house. A place with love and a big heart!
Family Fleetwood, Sweden
5 nachten verbleven wij met ons gezin (5 pers) in Hout Bay. Het appartement geeft veel daglicht en is modern en sfeervol ingericht. Na een drukke dag voelt het als thuis komen en dat is met kinderen dan toch erg belangrijk. Goede bedden, mooie badkamers en een geriefelijke keuken. Ook de aanwezigheid van de wasmachine en droogrek was welkom naar onze reis vanaf het Kruger park. Cape Town was onze eind bestemming en vanuit Hout Bay is het goed te doen om allerlei activiteiten in deze bijzondere stad te ondernemen. Op loopafstand van ons appartement is het strand, restaurants en winkels. Bij mooi weer is het lekker zitten op de balkon om zo al de bedrijvigheid op straat gaarde te slaan. In afgesloten parkeergarage onder het complex is een ruime parkeerplaats. Gerrie en Anita staan altijd voor je klaar als dat nodig is. Gerrie en Anita hebben ons erg goed geholpen met advies bij het samenstellen van onze vakantie.

Het verblijf in Hout Bay was fantastisch. Een smaakvol en lekker ruim appartement met alle gemakken van nu. Geen zin om te koken? Geen probleem, in de omgeving zijn leuke eetgelegenheid en in de ochtend kun je gezellig ontbijten bij de Italiaan. Helaas was onze vakantie zo snel voorbij, maar terugkomen, willen wij zeker in de toekomst doen.
Njo en Meilan Gouw, The Netherlands
The villa was truly beautiful in an amazingly serene setting; we loved the large lawn, the river and of course the swimming pool. Everyone was more than satisfied with the amenities. It was also very apparent that the owners had gone to a huge amount of trouble to ensure that the entire place was welcoming, comfortable and easy to use. We trust we left their home exactly as they left it for us. Anita & Gerrie are true professionals. Working through them was an absolute pleasure; nothing was too much trouble it seemed. They handled everything, from the initial booking, through the various payments, arrangements and directions to the final inspection with friendly professionalism. Would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a holiday villa in Hout Bay. Well done and thank you ladies!
Family Jefferies, Australia
Thank you so much for your help in arranging our accommodation at The Gables. We absolutely loved the house and it was perfect in every way. The location in the heart of Hout Bay could not have been better with great restaurants and all amenities on our doorstep. The overall decor and bedrooms were great whilst the fireplace was especially welcoming after a long days exploring Cape Town and the beautiful surrounds. Having a modern kitchen with all the necessary appliances (including the washing machine and dryer) really helped make our stay as comfortable as possible. We look forward to our next adventure to Cape Town and will definitely be in touch!
Family Cooper, South Africa
Dear Anita and Gerrie, we had a great holiday and the house was really comfortable and met all our needs. It had all we needed in order to have a blissful time. The service that we received from you was excellent with prompt feedback from you as required. We will definitely recommend the house to friends and family should accommodation be required in Hout Bay :).Thanks again for assisting in making our holiday experience a great one 🙂

Everything we were promised and more. Beach Place was centrally located in enchanting Hout Bay. Beach Place was spotlessly clean, safe and well equipped with all the necessities required for a fantastic stay. We highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back again and again. Our experience with Anita & Gerrie was straightforward, professional, honest and very likeable. Had the pleasure of meeting them and they came across as very sincere and trustworthy. As stated earlier, we would highly recommend Lobecotours for all your travel needs. Thank you very much Anita & Gerrie for a wonderful stay in Hout Bay. Hope to use your facilities again soon.

We spent a great week at The Gables. The house is comfortable, well equipped, very spacious and have all amenities nearby (supermarket at 2min by foot). Anita and Gerrie briefed us on everything we needed to know to have a good stay in this beautiful house and some tips to visit the city. We highly recommend this location.

Many thanks, all arrived back safe and sound. We had a wonderful holiday and that is in no small way attributable to your lovely accommodation (especially the fire:)
