Hout Bay Manor

Set amid the hills overlooking the bay lies Hout Bay Manor, a sparkling, hidden gem of luxury and indulgence. It’s a five-star hotel, originally built in the traditional Cape Colonial Style: it’s been lovingly restored but not without some outlandish yet sophisticated additions: we’re talking wooden African cherubs, dressed veranda chairs in Regency stripes and brass swimming pool handrails. The restaurant, called ‘Eat’ is a delight for so many of the senses. Choose from three menus of classic dishes to dine in the mirrored conservatory surrounded by African objets d’art.
