Company info

Dirk Engelmann and Patrick Gott are your hosts at the CUBE Guest House: “Before taking our Golden Retriever Paul and moving from Hamburg to Cape Town in 2011, we have fallen in love with South Africa on numerous vacation trips within the last years. By opening the CUBE Guest House, a dream has come true.” In his “first” career, Dirk was working in the hotel sector and later as a marketing manager in the telecommunication business. Patrick was a directing manager in the entertainment sector and raising experience in catering, event management and marketing. During those times, both got passionate about good service and hospitality.

Neighborhood info

The five star Guest House is situated in an elevated residential area of Hout Bay with breathtaking views onto the mountain range and the sea. If you rather prefer the country side than the centre of Cape Town, Hout Bay is the perfect place: surrounded by green hillsides, Hout Bay is nestled in a valley opening out into a picturesque bay and small fishing port. Thanks to the central location, within a few minutes you can reach the city centre, Table Mountain, stunning sandy beaches, beautifully situated golf courses as well as Cape Town’s wine region. Furthermore, Hout Bay is the starting point for the famous corniche Chapman’s Peak Drive, which leads you right to the Cape of Good Hope.
