“Hout Bay Manor feels more like a well-kept secret than just a hotel; its slightly secluded location cultivates a uniquely peaceful atmosphere. The gardens are a definite highlight, and dining al fresco here is a must. From what I gathered, the staff truly aim to create a 'home away from home' feel which definitely elevates the experience.”
