Review & FAQ:
Hout Bay , a peninsular town located just south of the capital city of Cape Town, is a lovely little seaside area that is close enough to the big city for day trips and exploration in the metropolitan area, but far enough away that it is much quieter and peaceful. The village is surrounded by water and mountains, its coasts lined with sandy beaches, and there is pleasant weather in abundance. Visitors to Hout Bay can take a drive on Chapmans Peak Drive, a scenic road that leads through the mountains and will eventually find its way to Cape of Good Hope National Park, a rocky area at the very southern tip of the peninsula.
