Area Info

Often lovingly referred to as "the Republic of Hout Bay" by locals, this charming suburb owes the nickname to its limited access points—there are only three routes into the area. Located just 20 minutes from Cape Town's city centre, Hout Bay offers a distinct, timeless beauty that draws both residents and visitors alike. When staying in Hout Bay, visitors become immersed in the town's unique atmosphere, making for a truly enjoyable and unforgettable South African experience.

Originally a fishing village, Hout Bay has managed to preserve its blend of a working fishing harbour and a laid-back, rural vibe, despite ongoing development. Its expansive, sandy beach stretches across a bay surrounded by mountains, creating a stunning natural setting. Locals flock to the area on weekends to enjoy delicious fish and chips and catch sight of the resident Cape seals that call the harbour home.

There are three scenic routes connecting Hout Bay to Cape Town. Chapman's Peak, although a toll road, is renowned for its breathtaking views and is a must-see drive. Another option takes you over Suikerbossie Hill to Llandudno and other Atlantic beaches, all set beneath the iconic Twelve Apostles mountain range. Lastly, the road that links to the Constantia Wine Route, over Constantia Nek, offers stunning views of False Bay and leads into the picturesque Constantia Valley.
