Hout Bay Manor

Hout Bay Manor is a boutique hotel on the slopes of Hout Bay, a valley between mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel is built around a restored manor house, with rooms that open onto a courtyard and pool. The restaurant serves breakfast, light lunches, and dinners, blending South African, European, and Asian influences.

From the hotel, you can walk to the Baviaanskloof hiking trail, which leads to a waterfall and forest. Chapman’s Peak Drive, a coastal road with views of the Atlantic, is a short drive away. The Hout Bay harbour offers boat trips to see seals and dolphins, and the valley is close to vineyards in the Constantia region.

The hotel’s location makes it a base for exploring Cape Town’s beaches, vineyards, and outdoor activities. Hout Bay beach is a short drive away, and the World of Birds sanctuary, with walk-through aviaries, is nearby. The hotel’s restaurant serves dishes inspired by local and international cuisines, with a focus on fresh ingredients.

The hotel offers rooms with en-suite bathrooms and views of the courtyard or garden. The pool area is shaded by trees, and the courtyard is a quiet place to sit after a day of exploring.
