Welcome to The Tarragon

A self-catering retreat that blends with the mountain

Nestled in the beautiful Hout Bay valley, surrounded by natural forests and landscapes, The Tarragon offers a unique and unforgettable escape. Our cottages boast uninterrupted views of the valley below and the mountains behind — a self-catering paradise that guests return to again and again.

All four available cottages sit within the private, landscaped Tarragona estate, sharing a large swimming pool and a proper Cape braai area, yet each is fully self-contained and utterly your own.
