Hout Bay Manor

Hout Bay Manor Overview

The Hout Bay Manor has been offering accommodation in Hout Bay for nearly 140 years . A recent 18 month restoration and redecoration by famed South African interior designers Cécile and Boyd transformed Hout Bay Manor into one of Cape Town’s leading African accommodation experiences. And it now offers true African luxury and gracious hospitality.

The vibrant colours of South Africa are wonderfully expressed throughout The Hout Bay Manor. Often interior designers shy away from the big, “messy” colours of Africa. They choose single African items to add to a distinctly European room and then declare the room to be “African”. But not here. Alive with adventure and expression the décor incorporates the richness of the Cape and South African tribal culture in a splendid tribute.

The colonial Cape Dutch architecture is reflected in the rooms in the oversized antiqued clothes bureau and scatter cushions capture the local flora, the Cape Fynbos (“Fine Bush”). Add in African bead work, wonderful chandeliers and splashes of colourful expression. The Xhosa room, the Zulu room and the Sotho rooms – all have beadwork and décor that enhance the experience being happy on holiday in Africa.

Hout Bay Manor has recently added the Inzolo Wellness Suite where guests can indulge in a massage, facial or many other pampering therapy. Some of the treatments offered are – the ‘Hydra Boost Facial’, ‘For Men Only Facial’, which includes acupressure, manicures, pedicures or ‘Total Pureness’ which is an exfoliation and body polish. The creams, oils and lotions used have been blended from local plants which are selected for their unique healing and soothing benefits. Treatments include full day packages as well as 60 or 90 minutes beauty and body treatments lasting up to 120 minutes.
