Marlinspike Guestlodge
The accommodation is very nice, but we were no so lucky with the weather and not so lucky about the presence of so much people in Hout Bay - every restaurant was so full with queues in front of it. Next time we prefer not to come in main season.

Perched on a hill side overlooking the harbour, the marina, the bay and Chapmans Peak Drive, enjoy panoramic views of the bay surrounded by majestic mountains from every room in the house!
Description
Situated in Hout Bay, Cape Town, Marlinspike is one of the premier accommodation venues. We offer bed and breakfast accommodation in one of our six double guest rooms. Each of which has uninterrupted sea and mountain views as well as en suite bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, TV and use of the swimming pool. Two of the rooms can be combined into a family unit (ground floor). If you are a business traveller, or if you just want to stay in touch, there are phones in every room and we are one of the few Western Cape Guest Houses offering optional Broadband Wireless Internet access from all rooms as well as Conference and Office facilities. 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 omelette) with bacon, tomato and mushrooms. For relaxation, Hout Bay area is blessed with a number of beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, pubs, cinemas 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 and 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. If it’s wine that you came to enjoy, we are close to the Constantia Wine Route and within a 40 minute drive to Stellenbosch. You may choose to sample some wine from our fully stocked bar while you watch the whales who visit our bay almost every year. When you return, enjoy an evening drink in our cozy lounge and pub where we serve wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks. Our specialty is Foresters Bitter on tap which is freshly delivered from our local Mitchells Brewery. For those cold winter nights we have a large fire place - the perfect place to share the days events. 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.
