The Hangklip Hotel Restaurant & Bar

This isn't a polished resort. She's an icon! It is a much-loved 1952 hotel with history in its walls, simple accommodation and one extraordinary setting. Come for the mountain, the ocean and the quiet — stay for the food, fires, music and people.

A laid-back coastal stay in Pringle Bay with live music, great food, and a vibrant local atmosphere.

Welcome to The Hangklip Hotel — a place where mountain views, ocean air, and good company come together.

Set beneath the iconic Hangklip mountain in Pringle Bay, Western Cape, our hotel has been part of the local community since 1952. Today, it’s known not just as a place to stay, but as a place to gather — where locals and travellers meet over shared tables, live music, and relaxed coastal living.

Where Food, Music & Community Meet

Our restaurant and bar in Pringle Bay are at the heart of it all.

By day, it’s a laid-back space to enjoy a meal, a drink, and the surrounding natural beauty. By night, it comes alive — with live music, laughter, and an energy that turns moments into memories.

Whether you’re joining us for a long lunch, sunset drinks, or a lively evening, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere that’s easy to settle into and hard to leave.
