The Hangklip Hotel, bathed in the two lighthouse beams from Cape Point and Cape Hangklip, is the perfect escape for stressed out City dwellers and tourists. At the end of a stretch of gravel road, it reminds of the adventure hotels on the Transkei Wild Coast. In Hangklip, silence and sand combine with colour and space to serve refreshment to body and soul

The Hotel is situated at the foot of the Hangklip

Hangklip is an isolated unspoiled stretch of paradise, just one hour's drive from Cape Town, at the end of the spectacular Clarence drive fringing False bay and backed by the majestic Kogelberg mountains

The Kogelberg biosphere, 'The heart of the Fynbos Kingdom' is rich in biological diversity - 1600 plant species can be found here of which 150 are endemic. It is steeped in history and archaeological evidence can still be seen of the Koisan strandlopers who fished from the rocky shores here. Centuries
later, Drosters - runaway slaves and outlaws - took refuge in caves carved
out by the sea. Local folklore has many tales of ship wrecks, pirates and cattle thieves too

The mountain assumed military significance as a sentinel guarding the Eastern stretch of False bay from the threat of U-boats during World War 2.
The hotel was built by John Pitt in 1939 and used by women of the
armed services manning the radar station against the mountain
