A peaceful, close-knit retirement village in the heart of Hout Bay — where you or your loved one will feel safe, at home, and part of a real community.
The Spinney isn't just a place to live — it's a place to belong. The land beneath your feet was once the Spinney Dairy Farm, generously donated to the Hout Bay community to create a place where people could retire with dignity and independence. Since 1990, The Spinney has been governed under Sectional Title rules and the Retired Persons Act — 39 units strong, resident-led, and built on the belief that every person's expertise and contribution matters.
With solar panels on the garage roofs keeping levies low, dedicated gardeners who've cared for the grounds for over 20 years, and a Social Centre buzzing with morning walks, art classes, bridge, pub quizzes and movie nights — there's always something to do, or the perfect quiet corner to do nothing at all.
The question families ask most: "Will my loved one be safe?" Here's how we answer it — every single day.
The Spinney is protected by Deep Blue Security around the clock, with multiple layers of access control.
Registered nurses visit daily, and emergency support is a button-press away.
Every resident's personal expertise and contribution is valued here. Your voice matters, your skills matter, and you're never alone unless you choose to be.

Moving to The Spinney was the best decision we made. We have our own space, beautiful gardens right outside, and wonderful neighbours. We feel completely safe and at home.
My mother was reluctant at first, but within a month she was happier than she'd been in years. She walks to the shops, joins the tea mornings, and says she finally feels like she belongs somewhere.
The staff know everyone by name. The gardens are gorgeous. And being five minutes from the beach — well, that's the cherry on top. I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Gardens, walkways, and mountain views — this is everyday life at The Spinney.
Spacious, light-filled units with everything you need — and nothing you don't.
Bright, spacious apartments with open-plan living, available on ground and first floor. Levies are kept low thanks to solar panels installed on the garage roofs, and each unit has its own electricity meter.
Sought-after north-facing cottagees with generous space for family visits, a guest room, or a dedicated study. Same low levies, individual meter, and private garage — plus extra room to spread out.
