Hout Bay has been affectionately self styled “The Republic of Hout Bay” because it satisfies virtually every need of those who live there and those who visit it. This little fishing village with its unique combination of fishing harbour ambiance & country atmosphere, and its long sandy beach on an ocean inlet framed by mountains, is quite exceptionally beautiful. Hout Bay is close to all major tourist attractions and is positioned centrally to form the ideal base from which to visit all the Cape Peninsula attractions and even the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek Winelands. There are excellent facilities to pursue a very wide range of activities from the most adventurous to the most relaxing. Sunset Champagne Cruises to Cape Town’s Waterfront, Boat Trips to Seal Island in a glass bottomed boat and even Whale Watching. The list is virtually endless and for the less energetic it is simply a wonderful spot to relax, sip a glass of good South African wine and soak up the sun!
