Set amid the refined, gracious hills of Hout Bay lies Hout Bay Manor, a sparkling, hidden gem of luxury and indulgence. Built in 1871 by Jacob Trautmann, it was originally known as the Royal Hotel and was popular as a romantic location for honeymooners. This unexpected isle of charm and grace, created in the traditional Cape Colonial Style, has been completely restored, recapturing the tranquility and allure of a bygone era.
