We recently attended a wedding in the area and booked in at the Houw Hoek Inn .We spent one night there and felt well taken care of. Being one of the oldest Inn's in South Africa you get a feeling of what it must have been like to be a traveler in the early days of the Cape colony. The... More

We had both been to Houw Hoek as children for afternoon visits, but this was the first time either of us had stayed over. What an amazing experience. The weather was terrible when we got there which meant that it was perfect Houw Hoek Inn weather. We spent the evening (the last night of our two week holiday) in the... More

I expected a South African Travelodge but HH surprised positively. We had a family room. Slept 5 easily. It was clean and comfortable, if unspectacular. The "hotel"(?) itself was good....

This classic "one of the oldest pubs in SA" is everything one could wish for. Worn out timber steps, low beams, log fires, great bar counter and barmen! Good stop for a publunch, inside for bad weather and beautiful outdoor gardens and tables for summer. Food is very good, service excellent.

My husband and I booked for a one night stay at the Houw Hoek Inn on a Saturday night so as to participate in the dinner/dance offered by the establishment.

We watched a local rugby game and had drinks before preparing for a night of dinner and dance. The location is stunning with... More

My daughter and I took three beautiful Bolivian ladies to this cosy Inn to enjoy a hearty lunch. They were in awe as we drove to this Inn along the N2 over the pictureque Sir Lowry's Pass!
