Hout Bay Manor

Great location, wonderful decor, relaxing atmosphere. This was the second time I’ve stayed here and I would come back again.

We are quite familiar with the venue for breakfasts which are normally quite good but first time for dinner and a big thumbs down unfortunately. My PadThai was inedible and two who sampled it agreed with me that something was off. The Chef did come out to tender her apologies but in her view it was fine, which was very concerning indeed. The other food was at best average. Friendly staff seemed unsupervised and not very effective. The venue as ever is tranquil and lovely which salvaged an otherwise disappointing evening.

Service was dreadful. We had to ask for butter for the toast. Had to call the waitron for salt and pepper. Food all came at different times. The only nice thing was the coffee. One of us had scones, which was nice. Pity as the garden is a pleasant place to sit.

Had dinner here on New Year’s Eve.Food,service and ambience was absolutely dire. five years ago visited the same venue and enjoyed a live band.The food on this occasion was totally uninteresting and the main course of venison was tough and cold served on a cold plate. dauphinoise potatoes was advertised as an accompaniment with the venison nut did appear.The staff informed us that the Restaurant would have to close at 9pm and they could go and celebrate.Avery disappointing evening apart from the Food and Beverage manager who did her best,

Pleasant staff. Accommodation was quirky clean and interesting.

Dinner at restaurant was very disappointing. Possibly the worst meal I have had in South Africa.
