Rivendell | A Tranquil Retreat in the Heart of Hout Bay
Set in the lush, tree-lined suburb of Hout Bay, Rivendell is a premier holiday retreat that combines farmhouse charm with the ease and elegance of modern living. This spacious and beautifully maintained home offers the perfect escape for families or groups seeking comfort, style, and a connection to nature — all within easy reach of Cape Town’s coastline and scenic mountain ranges.
The home features five inviting bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to offer both comfort and privacy. On the top floor, you’ll find three of these bedrooms. The master suite is a peaceful haven with a king-size bed, air-conditioning, and a ceiling fan, all framed by breathtaking sea and mountain views. Its spacious en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower, bidet, and double vanity, creating a serene space to unwind. The second and third upstairs bedrooms are equally charming, each fitted with queen-size beds, air-conditioning, and their own private en-suite bathrooms.
On the ground floor are the two remaining bedrooms, which are interleading — ideal for families with children or close friends who wish to stay connected. The fourth bedroom features its own en-suite bathroom, while the fifth has access to a dedicated bathroom just steps away.
At the heart of Rivendell is a warm and welcoming kitchen, fully equipped with a gas hob, Nespresso machine, and breakfast bar — perfect for casual mornings or shared meals. A separate laundry room offers added convenience during longer stays. The open-plan dining area comfortably seats eight and is positioned to take in lovely mountain views, flowing seamlessly into the home’s outdoor spaces.
The living room is a comfortable retreat, centred around a wood-burning fireplace, making it ideal for cozy evenings in. A separate TV room provides additional space to relax, with comfortable seating and a mini-fridge for refreshments.
Step outside and you’ll find a beautifully landscaped garden and a sparkling swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers. There’s a wood-burning firepit for chilly evenings, as well as multiple BBQ options for outdoor entertaining. A ping pong table adds a playful touch, inviting guests of all ages to unwind and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Rivendell is equipped with an inverter to ensure lights, Wi-Fi, and entertainment systems remain operational during load shedding, providing peace of mind and uninterrupted comfort. Housekeeping is included from Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays), with additional service available on request. The home also features a comprehensive alarm system and a noise monitoring device, ensuring security and maintaining the tranquil ambiance of this peaceful residential area.
Families with children of all ages are warmly welcomed at Rivendell. While smoking is not permitted inside the home, guests are welcome to smoke in designated outdoor areas. As a courtesy to neighbors and to preserve the serene setting, guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum, particularly in the evenings.
Rivendell is more than just a holiday home — it’s a place to reconnect, recharge, and enjoy the best of Hout Bay living.
