Thanks for the heads-up. I was just about to book a hotel at Hout Bay.

Just curious, what makes it a dump?

Availability at the hotels in Bantry Bay seems very limited (most nights I´m in CPT the hotels are fully booked)

How about Colona Castle / the area around it? Seems to be close to the ocean, reasonable prices (incl. internet and full breakfast), but again no idea what the area is like...
