Brightwater Lodge invites you to unwind in comfort and explore with ease. Located just minutes from Hout Bay’s beach and harbour, it’s the ideal base for discovering Cape Town’s coastline, mountain trails, and village charm—all from a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Situated between the majestic Table Mountain range and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, Brightwater Lodge offers an unforgettable stay in one of Cape Town’s most iconic seaside villages. This charming double-storey lodge blends warm hospitality with a prime location—just a five-minute stroll from the beach, Hout Bay Harbour, and an array of vibrant restaurants, boutique shops, and local attractions.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family holiday, or a base to explore the Cape Peninsula, Brightwater Lodge has something for everyone. Choose from two stylish self-catering apartments, a spacious family room, or one of our four comfortable double/twin en-suite rooms—all thoughtfully equipped with tea and coffee facilities and warm touches to make you feel at home.
Step outside and discover why Hout Bay is a gem on the Cape Peninsula: a coastal village with soul, framed by dramatic landscapes and connected by scenic drives to Cape Town’s finest beaches—Camps Bay, Llandudno, and Noordhoek—or down to Cape Point via Kommetjie and Simon’s Town.
With excellent transport links to Cape Town’s city centre and the Southern Suburbs, everything is within reach—yet nothing disturbs the tranquillity you’ll find here.
Brightwater Lodge is more than a place to stay. It’s your gateway to the best of Cape Town, with everything you need right on your doorstep.
