Hout Bay – and Shaun Bloch focuses on two unique destinations – Ye Olde Artifact Cove & Shipwreck Shoppe and the Hout Bay Trading Store, featured on this week’s Sanlam Arts Round Up.
Listen to the Sanlam Arts Round Up on Fine Music Radio FMR 101.3fm every Friday at 17h30
Shaun provides some background to Mariner’s Wharf, the location of Ye Olde Artifact Cove & Shipwreck Shoppe. Mariner’s Wharf was opened in 1984 and the restaurant decor has a very nautical theme – you could be dining on an ocean liner. The ‘Shipwreck Shop’ as it’s often referred to is a treasure chest of more than 20 000 nautical memorabilia. You are transported back in time. This is a unique location that is certainly worth a visit.
Then across from the harbour and into the village is the Mainstream Mall, which is the location for the Hout Bay Trading Store, which houses a wide selection of South African Antiques. The building itself is an old cottage dating back to 1896 when it was the shop of Dorman & Son. Stanley Dorman, a descendent of this immigrant family to South Africa is the man behind these developments in the harbour and village.
Ye Olde Artifact Cove & Shipwreck Shoppe and the Hout Bay Trading Store provide at least two unique reasons for heading down south!
