Hout Bay

Hout Bay is only 20 minutes from the heart of Cape Town, but both locals and tourists adore it for its distinct and timeless beauty. Visitors who stay in Hout Bay become a part of the town's palpable energy, which makes a trip to South Africa even more enjoyable and memorable. Hout Bay used to be a fishing community and has, despite growth, managed to preserve its distinctive blend of fishing harbour and rural environment. Its large, sandy beach, which views a bay surrounded by mountains, is truly breathtaking. Capetonians swarm here on the weekends to eat the local fish and chips and see the resident Cape seal that lives in the harbour.
