Hout Bay is often called the Heart of the Cape, a 20 minute drive from the Cape Town city centre, almost
halfway between Cape Town and Cape Point. Houtbaai was named by the Dutch explorers, which literally
translated means Wood Bay. The timber was used to help build Cape Town. Hout Bay was then divided up
into two farms the Kronendal and Moddergat. Over time the farms were divided up however today Hout Bay
still enjoys a rural atmosphere with several equestrian estates and small holdings. Hout Bay has become
very popular as a seaside resort town with its unique location at the start of the Atlantic Seaboard and yet still
only thirty minutes drive from most of Cape Towns top attractions. Hout Bay is recognised as one of South
Africa’s leading destinations for local tourists and has become a popular place for international tourists to
base their South African holiday. A growing bed and breakfast industry supports the demand from
holidaymakers.  Hout Bay real estate now includes holiday accommodation, family homes ranging from
apartments to seaview properties in security estates.
