Local Attractions
Although
Hout Bay may be a small town, there are plenty of things to do in it. Furthermore it is the perfect spot between many different day trips. The Hout Bay fishing harbor and beach with its wonderful markets as well as the Bird Park down our road are great spots to start off your trip in Cape Town. Chapman's Peak Drive which is the gateway to many attractions such as Cape Point, Penguin Colonies and Noordhoek beach is only 5 minutes away from our guesthouse, where you can enjoy marvelous views of the Atlantic and
Table Mountain. Our guesthouse is only a short 20 minute drive into Cape Town, where Table Mountain,
Robben Island, V&A Waterfront and various museums are located! Another option is heading towards Constantia and all its winelands as well as the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens.
