Information about the area

Hout Bay is a fishing village with a working harbour. The Hout Bay beach consists of a large stretch of white sand ideal for sun batheing. A number of charter companies also operate out of this harbour offering trips to Seal Island in a glass bottomed boat, as well as fishing and sailing adventures. There are horse riding trails with many stables in the area. A day visit to the renowned “World of birds” will keep the children well occupied. The village borders on the Table Mountain National Park where one can go on wonderful hikes. If you prefer site seeing from a vehicle a drive along Chapmans Peak to Noordhoek is unforgettable.
