Hout Bay, otherwise fondly known by locals as ‘The Republic of Hout Bay’, is one of Cape Town’s most diversely beautiful coastal suburbs.

With the Sentinel mountain protectively watching over it from one side and Chapman’s Peak Drive thrilling visitors on the other, it’s no wonder that Hout Bay is a beautifully exciting, yet still tranquil part of the Mother City.

Here, where the sea meets sky and land, there is plenty to see and do and Hout Bay has something to offer every traveller, young and old alike!

In this post, we highlight some fun things for our guests to do in Hout Bay:
