Activities and Attractions
The Beach House Guest House – Hout Bay is located between the dunes on the beach. Hout Bay nestled in the valley is protected by its surrounding majestic mountains. Centrally located, The Beach House Guest House and situated on the Argus Cycle Tour Route, thus offers the perfect base from which to explore the Cape Peninsula and all the tourist attractions on offer. Hout Bay beach perched on the side of the world famous spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive is less than 3 minutes walking distance from The Beach House Guest House.
As the morning sun appears over the mountain peaks and the air is scented with fresh sea breezes Hout Bay becomes alive. After you are woken up with “song “ by the abundant bird life you get spoiled with a stunning breakfast and freshly brewed coffee to kick start your day.
The Aqua Enthusiasts can experience our bay as one of the safest sailing venues in the world. It is the Centre for International Game Fishing Competitions also offering the whole gamut of aquatic sports including Boat Trips to Seal Island in a glass bottomed boat and even Whale Watching. On your return from one of your trips and adventures relax at one of the local restaurants with “Fish & chips” – the local delicatessen from Mariner’s Warf and The Look Out to mention but a couple.
The mountains guarding The Beach House Guest House provide incredible hiking, abseiling, horse riding and many more for the Active Holiday Maker.
The Beach House Guest House a mere 5 minutes driving distance from the world famous World of Bird is the perfect start of the day for our Nature Lovers or visit the Botanical Gardens at Kirstenbosch. Old Mutual Summer Sunset Concerts will keep you entertained during the summer season.
The Historical & Art Lover will be captured by the siting of our Interesting Architectural buildings, Hout Bay Manor, Fine View Military Road, Oakhurst Manor, Chapman’s Peak & Beach Hotel, Lichtenstein Castle, Kronedal Farm, Mariner’s Wharf, Constantia Nek Restaurant and some very old churches.
