Hout Bay Manor in Hout Bay, Cape Peninsula
TGCSA Stars: 5 Stars
The Hout Bay Manor, built in 1871, is renowned as one of Cape Town’s most graceful landmarks. The beautifully restored Hout Bay Manor offers 20 individually designed en suite rooms and a sophisticated fine dining restaurant named ‘Pure’.
Hout Bay Manor, protected by century old oak trees, was built from stone (600mm thick walls) and in traditional Cape Colonial style by Jacob
Trautmann on an unspoilt piece of land, which had previously been part of the Kronendal Estate.
2006 saw the start of an 18 month refurbishment that was completed in October 2007 to recapture the charm and beauty of this original home, in a
vibrant African culture style. The hotel officially reopened on 26 October 2007. The breathtaking restyled Pavilion is now a contemporary fine dining
restaurant, named ‘Pure’, under the auspices of German born Executive Chef Alexander Mueller.
Hout Bay Manor has preserved the history and heritage while infusing the interiors with Zulu and Xhosa chic décor to celebrate the vibrant pulse of
South Africa.
The owners love for Africa, its people and culture is reflected in the bold colours and superior fabrics, complemented by exquisite unique pieces that
have been used to create ‘a jewellery box of gems’ to offset the mellow ambience of the original interiors by renowned South African interior
designers, Cécile and Boyd’s.
On the ground level guests find an opulent open plan lounge and bar area, a tribute to style, Zulu and Xhosa grace. A designer marble bar offers guests the opportunity to interact with fellow travellers or spend quiet time reading a great novel from the library. Select a fine Cape wine from the
extensive handpicked wine collection or relax by the cosy fireplace.The Inzolo Wellness Suite complements the existing architecture, feel,
relaxing ambience and unique interior décor the Manor has become renowned for. Its philosophy has always been to nurture the senses and to promote the rejuvenating, healing energy of Africa in the picturesque setting of Hout Bay.
Indulge yourself with our menu of massage, facials and other pampering therapies in our Inzolo Wellness Suite. Some of the treatments offered are –
the ‘Hydra Boost Facial’, ‘For Men Only Facial’, which includes acupressure, manicures, pedicures, ‘Total Pureness’ exfoliation and body polish and the ‘Fragrant Relaxation’ – a unique blend of pure essential massage oils for specific individual needs.
The Hout Bay Manor has redefined the essence of hospitality and is a tribute to old and new – this is unsurpassed luxury living at its best.
