Phantom Acres

Phantom Acres is located in an amphitheatre formed by the back of Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles and the Constantiaberg mountains. Facing north, it captures the sunshine and has lovely views.

The large swimming pool is on the doorstep while the garden has many shady trees to relax under with a book. The house comprises three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and comfortable twin beds. There is a large upstairs lounge opening onto the sun deck with uninterrupted forest views.

The well-appointed yellowwood kitchen with a dishwasher, washing machine, oven and microwave,is downstairs with easy access to outdoor living areas. An indoor braai doubles as a cosy winter fireplace in the enclosed dining patio off the kitchen. Large sliding doors open out to the pool area.

The Orangekloof Cottage is ideal for smaller families and is open-plan. It has a queen-size bed, large double bunk beds, a kitchenette and a cosy lounge. The view from here is breathtaking.Honeymoon couples will enjoy the Yellowwood Cabin, which is tucked away in the trees. It has a secluded deck and a glass-roof bedroom.

We have steps leading to all our units.

Lovely little veranda for breakfast.<div>Location is closer to Constantia Nek than Houtbaai.</div><div>Value for money, do not expect more than you bargained for.</div><div><br /></div>"

  • "A home away from home"

    18 February 2011

    "We were so happy here. We stayed for almost two weeks in February of this year, and it was wonderful. The cabin we stayed in was idyllic and well-equipped. The Hout Bay location was perfect. Far enough away from Cape Town to be peaceful, but close enough to fully explore the region. The people at Phantom Acres were thoughtful and kind. I can't recommend it strongly enough."

Please thank Comfort for washing my car, it was a wonderful surprise and excellent gesture. You made us feel so welcome and comfortable. We never expected the cabin to be so well equipped. It is a very romantic setting and just what we both needed. A truly awesome getaway. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Gordon and Laura Hale"
