In my Kafka server.properties I had advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092. This only allow access via localhost. Once I changed it to my machine's IP address everything worked fine.

Try updating kafka config as shown below 

$ nano config/server.properties

uncomment listeners and paste the following

listeners=PLAINTEXT://<local-ip>:9092

save file & restart kafka.

Hope this helps!

If I understand right, you question can be re-phrased as "How can I access my host machine withing my docker container".

As i wrote in another answer, you can set gateway when starting your container, create some kind of proxy to access your Kafka or take the host ip from container.
