Cultural & Historical interest
The name "Hout Bay"derives from the lush forests that once graced the slopes of the mountains. Dutch founding father, Jan van Riebeeck, recorded in his diary that the magnifiencet forests were "the finest in the world"and called the settlement t'Hout baaitjien which means "the small wooded bay". The village played a strategic role in the battle for occupation of the Cape sea route by the French, the Dutch and the English and the ruins of some of the forts and batteries, built in the 1700s, are still standing, complete with cannon.
