From the moment we walked in to the dining room we knew that we had found something rare and exquisite. The decor was awe inspiring and the atmosphere was that of a long lost palace secret room that we had stumbled upon. We were firstlyescorted to the bar to enjoy our pre-dinner cocktail which was served promptly and went down... More

Firstly, this hotel is situated in the fishing coastal village of Hout Bay, which is a few kms away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But not so far away from places of interest so as a tourist you can still visit the waterfront, the scenic Chapman's peak drive, the dire all the way to Cape Point etc.... More

Smallish hotel, old manor style Cape homestead that has been meticulously renovated to five star standards The rooms are thoughtfully done, albeit the standard rooms a little smaller than one would expect Lots and lots of attention to small details like hats on the recliners at the pool area and great attentive service all round The restaurants are very good...

My husband and I stayed at Hout Bay Manor Hotel for the last two weeks. We had a fantastic time. The second you walk in, everything from the bar, to the hallway, is laid out to perfection. Very artistic, warm and instantly makes you feel at home. In addition to the esthetics of the hotel, the restaurant’s food is excellent... More

Stayed for one night for a party in the area. Was extremely impressed with the overall feel of the hotel. Very good, personalised service. Rooms were quirkily but tastefully decorated, as was the rest of the hotel. I could have spent the night in the bar (but alas were expected elswhere) as it's a gem of a room. Will have... More

Many things an be overlooked when the service and environment are right. Fortunately this is one hotel where everything is great, the service is excellent and atmosphere is warm and welcoming. What really makes this hotel stand out for me is the unexpected extras that you just don't get at a commercial hotel. The hand written welcome card, the greeting... More

Myself and two colleagues stayed at the Hout Bay Manor for 6 nights, using the hotel as a base for our meetings around the western cape. Arriving at the hotel in the evening, we were made very welcome by all the staff. The hotel has style, charm and a very old Africa feel to it. My room was great and... More

This was our third stay at The Hout Bay Manor where we are made to feel like remembered and treasured guests. The boutique hotel decor is exquisite (a mixture of colonial styling meets vibrant joyful African art and colours), as is the warmth, professionalism and friendliness of the staff. The food is always excellent and beautifully presented, the wine list... More
