Hout Bay
is a picturesque fishing village and
is situated about 20 km from Cape Town City. The harbour
is an important market for fish and spiny lobster.
Close to the harbour is Marinas Wharf
with a great number of coffeeshops and fish restaurants. Trips
to view sundown and deep sea fishing charters are only
two of the many choices offered.
The view from
Chapman`s Peak over Hout Bay
is spectacular. This is one of the most spectacular coastal roads
in the world.
The green valley, with its oak trees,
is known for its horse breeders. Horseback riding and riding lessons are provided.
A big attraction in Hout Bay is World
of Birds. According to its brochure this is the
biggest bird park in South Africa with more than 500
different bird species. You can reach World
of Birds on foot within 10 minutes.
