A stylish Simonstown luxury self-catering escape set high on Whytes Way, overlooking the sparkling waters of False Bay — where sunrises glow across the bay and firepit evenings linger long after sunset.
Mountain Hideout at Whytes Way is a beautifully designed, multi-level retreat for families, couples, remote workers and small groups. With panoramic sea views, peaceful rocky nooks, an inverter for load-shedding and private spaces across two levels, it delivers comfort, calm and true Cape Town magic.
