Where to stay in Hout Bay

Accommodation is largely in rental properties or guest houses, although the rather exclusive Tintswalo Atlantic lies along Chapman’s Peak Drive down by the water. Non-residents may reserve a table for evening drinks and the waterside location is quite spectacular. Hout Bay is located in an area of magnificent Cape floral kingdom beauty and presents a fascinating window into how diverse communities can interact.
