Many people are unaware of the fascinating wealth of memories and information of Hout Bay’s past, to be found in the charming cottage Museum, hidden away in a fynbos garden setting on Andrews Road, just off Main Road behind the Shell Garage.

The Museum is beautifully laid out and one can spend many happy hours finding out where Hout Bay came from and how it grew from a few farms and a Fort, into a thriving fishing village.
