Future Found Sanctuary in Hout Bay by Newmark

This is an experience like no other. Everything and everyone at this amazing Sanctuary embraces the idea of service as a way of spreading humanity and kindness. The facilities are outstanding and clearly luxurious, but they also feel like home. The spa, gym, and pool keep you busy enough, and then there is fantastic food, so the days dissolve into moments. The lucky few who can experience this place should - it really is a magnificent place that is managed with a lot of humanity.

Once or twice in a travellers lifetime they come across a place so special for such good value they hesitate as to whether they want to share it by writing a review. This is one of those places and I finally decided they deserved it so much I would write one. The house is designed with peace and tranquility in mind by someone with exquisite taste who has spared no expense. The staff could t have been more welcoming and the food was so good we cancelled all other dinner plans and enjoyed what was effectively our own private chef who produced truly outstanding food every meal, accompanied by a delicious and broad choice of wines all included in the price - amazing value ! The pool, spa, gym etc are all perfectly designed and you could easily spend a whole week here without leaving. If you want a once in a lifetime experience this is the place!

Future Found Sanctuary is the ideal place for travellers who wish to immerse themselves in nature and relax in beautiful surroundings that include a balance between stunning architecture, well-appointed rooms, luxurious finishes, and a world-class art collection. The property is one of a kind and sets the standard for five-star luxury in South Africa.

Amazing destination hotel. Staff were excellent and facilities too. Stunning scenery. Can't wait to go back. Absolutely loved it!!!!! Its a total gem. We had a brilliant time. A relaxing sanctuary. Would definitely recommend to friends and family..

Our last stop of our 3.5 week tour of the Western Cape was 2 nights in a room in the Villa Verte section of the hotel. It actually has 3 separate parts with the recent introduction of the 2 pod rooms in the forest (of which will try next time). Huge room in Villa Verte with a good sized balcony overlooking the forest below. Plenty of facilities on hand in the room with a great sized bathroom to boot. But this place is not about the room its about the whole experience and how it makes you feel that your watch is going bcakwards! Pool at the Villa Verte and pool at Maison Noir take you pick! Breakfast at either location if you want. Cup of coffee? just ask one of the butlers who will happily provide (Thanks Keith) Staying in for dinner than just let them know and they will offer you a menu choice and we did that at the communal table in Maison Noir. Glass of bubbly? Keith or Prosper will oblige. Great gym and the first one I have ever used on holiday. Steam room? Of course you can. Massage? Yep got that as well. How about a movie? Well you can book the cinema room and order fresh popcorn with your glass of fizz. What a place ! Big shout out to Andrew the manager for his friendly engaging chat and all the tips he gave us for our next trip (we are definitley doing the Karoo mate). 2 nights felt like a week and we dined out at La Colombe on the 2nd night. Definitley a haven to return to in 2026!

A flawless stay. The attentive, generous service was a standout part of the experience. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms spacious and comfortable and the chefs catered to every dietary need. I could not recommend more highly. My only regret is not staying longer!
