History

The Mariner’s Wharf was the brain-child of Stanley Dorman, who launched the attraction in 1984. Opened as South Africa’s first harbour-front emporium, the wharf includes restaurants, shops and markets all designed according in a maritime theme. The Wharf also showcases the history of the charming Hout Bay fishing village, and attracts thousands of visitors to a day.

Advice for visitors

Spend some time wandering around the Mariner’s Wharf before dinner. Visit the market and check out the wharf’s fresh produce market and estate wine sales. You can even purchase wine in a fish-shaped bottle as a gift. Once you reach the restaurant, pop into the Crayclub Bar for pre-dinner drinks that come served in a complimentary souvenir glass. An early dinner in summer is the best bet at here, allowing you to dine on the outside deck and enjoy the panoramic harbour views. And remember, this restaurant specialises in seafood, and it is highly recommended that you sample the freshly caught fare for your meal.
