Hout Bay Manor

Hout Bay Manor, built in 1871 by Jacob Trautmann, is an enchanting Cape Colonial gem tucked into the hills of Hout Bay—steeped in history and restored to refined elegance. Its 19 individually decorated en-suite rooms, spread across the Sotho (garden and terrace), Xhosa (mountain-facing), and Zulu (tea garden and heated pool) wings, each exude a unique African-chic style with thoughtful touches and quality furnishings.

Guests are greeted by tranquil surrounds—think lush gardens and a sparkling outdoor pool—and can ease into the day with a lavish breakfast buffet served until 11 AM, or linger longer with their popular brunch offering until 2:30 PM. Afternoon delights include a relaxing visit to the spa, exploring the on-site library, or sipping a drink in the elegant Pure restaurant and tea garden, a charming hexagonal dining area under mature trees.

This boutique haven is quietly set back from the main road yet remains within walking distance of shops, the beach, and Hout Bay harbour, blending peaceful seclusion with unbeatable convenience. Attentive service consistently earns praise, with guests highlighting the “helpful and friendly staff,” “amazing décor,” and “gorgeous property” .

Beyond the property, the team can organize memorable excursions—think sunset cruises, Seal Island trips, or scenic drives—to complement your tranquil stay.
