The best moving company in Hout Bay

The seaside community of Hout Bay, or the Republic of Hout Bay as the locals call it lovingly, is one of Cape Town’s finest and is a must-see on any visit to South Africa. Hout Bay locals are enthusiastic advocates for their community. The sale of passports to visitors to the Republic of Hout Bay was launched in the 1980s as part of an effort to stimulate economic growth. It was associated with a fundraising effort organised by the Lions and Rotary Clubs.

Hout Bay was given its name by the Dutch East India Company, which established a colony in South Africa in 1652 to serve as a port of supplies for ships plying the trade routes between Asia and Europe. The bay was found by the Dutch while they searched for suitable lumber for the construction of their new colony at the base of Table Mountain. Beautiful woodland surrounded the entire bay, providing the Dutch with the ideal timber. This is how people first began settling in the area, and it contributed to the development of the name Houtbaai, which literally translates to “Wood Bay” in English.

Hout Bay lies 20 km south of Cape Town in a valley on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula. To the north, east, and west are mountains, and to the south is the Atlantic Ocean. Table Mountain National Park, which includes the Orangekloof Nature Reserve and the lower slopes of Table Mountain, forms its northern boundary. It is bounded to the north-west by the Oranjekloof, which is the reverse side of the Twelve Apostles. Along its western edge are the mountains Little Lion’s Head, Karbonkelberg, Kaptein’s Peak, and The Sentinel. The mountains of Vlakkenberg, Skoorsteenskopberg, and Constantiaberg form its eastern boundary. Carved into the slope, Chapman’s Peak Drive connects the town of Noordhoek with the rest of the journey to Cape Point.

The white sand beach in Hout Harbor’s protected bay is popular with visitors and locals alike. Hout Bay is home to a thriving fishing community that harvests seafood like tuna, snoek, and crayfish from one of the busiest harbours in the Western Cape. Many restaurants and the Hout Bay Yacht Club can be found on the waterfront.

The harbour is a popular hangout for Cape Fur Seals. The largest of the fur seal species, these animals are often spotted in the harbour. They have a velvety dark grey or brown fur, and you can find them swimming or just lounging around. Cape Fur Seals are naturally curious and sociable, so meeting one up close in the harbour shouldn’t come as much of a shock.

If you enjoy traditional fish and chips, you will love Fish on the Rocks. Hout Bay locals know this place as a fixture that has stood on the cliffs overlooking the water for generations. The brilliant yellow walls and cheery red roof of this building make it impossible to mistake for anything other than the home of the finest fish and chips to be found anywhere along the Atlantic coast. Newspaper clippings and major news articles are displayed prominently throughout this family-run business, and the staff takes great pride in their warm hospitality and making each customer feel like they are part of the family.

There are three routes to and from Hout Bay, all of which include crossing mountain passes. Passing between Judas Peak (one of the Twelve Apostles) and Little Lion’s Head, you will get to Llandudno and Camps Bay. This pass is called Suikerbossie, and it is infamous for being the most difficult hill on the Cape Argus Cycle Race course. The stretch of road known as Chapman’s Peak Drive connects Hout Bay and Noordhoek. Vlakkenberg is located on the western flank of Table Mountain, and from there, a road can be taken to the town of Constantia via the narrow pass of Constantia Nek.

We also offer moving services in Sea Point and Green Point.
