About the host
Hosted by Hanna & Sebastian

Do you love South Africa?
We certainly do. Though we have travelled throughout the world, nowhere draws us in like South Africa, so much so that we set up our second home here in 2025. The friendly people, the food and wine, the wildlife and nature are unlike anywhere else on earth; South Africa has everything that we love, in abundance. Originally we are from Germany. When we are not in Hout Bay, we rent our home out to others, so that they too can have that experience we cherish so much.

Why they chose this property
Hout Bay, including Scott Estate, is a blend of natural beauty, coastal charm, and a relaxed yet vibrant lifestyle. The area offers diverse property options, from family houses to secluded forest homes, and convenient access to amenities and other parts of Cape Town. Scott Estate, in particular, is known for its exclusive boutique lifestyle and stunning vistas, while Hout Bay as a whole provides a safe and accommodating environment for individuals and families, with a strong community spirit. Enjoying your morning coffee at Sentinel Cafe with others from the community if one our favorite moments of the day!
