Welcome to Marlinspike Guest Lodge! Situated in Hout Bay, Cape Town, Marlinspike is one of the premier accommodation venues.

Marlinspike Guest Lodge has spectacular, uninterrupted sea and mountain views from every room. We overlook Hout Bay, the yacht marina, the fishing harbour, Chapman's Peak and Hout Bay beach from every bedroom!

We offer bed and breakfast accommodation in one of our six double guest rooms. Each of which has an en suite bathroom, tea and coffee facilities, TV, telephone, wireless broadband internet access and use of the swimming pool. Two of the rooms can be combined into a family unit (ground floor)

Children are welcome (under parent’s strict control of course as the pool is not covered and the balconies are not ‘children friendly’) and while the indoor areas and rooms are non smoking you may take a puff in our beautiful indigenous garden with a variety of fynbos which is unique to this part of the world.

Start the day with fresh fruit salad, cereal, toast, fruit juice and coffee or tea or if you prefer a hot South African breakfast, with eggs of your choice (fried, boiled, poached, scrambled or omelet) with bacon, tomato and mushrooms.

Relax and Enjoy Hout Bay, Cape Town and the Peninsula

For relaxation, Hout Bay area is blessed with a number of beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, pubs and shopping areas. There are also mountain walks, boat rides, sailing, deep sea fishing, diving and horse riding.

Many of Cape Town's most memorable sights are right on our doorstep such as the world of Birds and Seal Island. If you are fortunate to visit in season, you can watch the Whales while you enjoy an evening drink in the balcony outside your room. We are en route to Cape Point Nature reserve and Boulders Beach in Simonstown (where you'll find the penguins).

Cape Town central is only 20 minutes by car where you may visit Table Mountain, the Waterfront, the Castle and Robben Island not to mention the many restaurants and cultural events that take place there all year round.

If you are here for a conference, where better to relax – away from the bustle of the city but an easy drive in to the Cape Town Convention Centre after a hearty breakfast.

If it’s wine that you came to enjoy, we are only 5km from the Constantia Wine Route and within a 40 minute drive to Stellenbosch.

When you return, enjoy an evening drink in our cozy lounge and pub where we serve wine, beer (including local draft on tap), spirits and soft drinks.

Dinner is served on request. We are famous for our seafood platter which includes fresh cape rock lobster, mussels (in season), prawns, calamari and line fish. Alternatively you may choose a succulent South African steak, lamb and ostrich. We are also within 1km of two of the Cape’s finest seafood restaurants as well as a steak house and an Italian restaurant.
