MARLINSPIKE GUEST LODGE
Self Catering Accommodation
in Hout Bay, Cape Town,
Western Cape, South Africa
Perched on the side of the Karbonkelberg Mountain, you will enjoy magnificent
sea and mountain views from Marlinsipike. As the sun sets behind the Sentinel
Peak, enjoy a glass of fine South African wine as you view the flaming red
sunset colours of Chapmans Peak from the the expansive balcony or from your
comfortable lounge.
Close to the original fishing village, below you the boats chug in an out of the
harbour and drop their days catch for processing, or the yachts making their way
in to the Marina for a stop over in Hout Bay before they continue their journey.
As the evening descends, the lights of the town and harbour reflect on the water
as the seals bark in the bay.
Our 3-bedroomed apartment is fully secure and has its own entrance via an
external staircase. It has 2 bathrooms of which one has a bathtub. The main
bedroom has a queen size bed, en suite bathroom and access to the balcony. The
second and third rooms have twin ¾ beds (which can be pushed together) and share
a shower/toilet. There is a dining area, lounge and fully-equipped kitchen
fitted with a gas hob, microwave and fridge.
After enjoying a leisurely breakfast on the balcony, take a drive or walk to
soft, white sands of Hout Bay beach, visit one of the Hout Bay markets to buy
clothes and curios, or take a trip on one of the boats that leave regularly for
Duiker Island to view the seals, and sometimes whales or dolphins. If you enjoy
hiking there are many locals trails. You could also visit the famous World of
Birds or the battery of cannons that protected Hout Bay when sailing ships still
braved the waters of the Cape of Storms.
Over the Constantia Nek , within 15 minutes drive from Hout Bay is the
Constantia Valley with its many famous wine estates. Stop for lunch at the Groot Constantia restaurant or take a walk in Tokai forest. On your return you
can stop in at Kirstenbosch botanical gardens and enjoy an afternoon break below
beneath the shadow of Table Mountain.
Being conveniently placed between Cape Point and Cape Town, you can take
Chapmans Peak drive to Noordhoek with its endless beach. Then continue Simons
Town to see the famous penguins, and finally to Cape Point (Cape Town's Southern
tip) returning through the quaint village of Scarborough, past the Kommetjie
Lighthouse and home.
You may also choose to drive to Table mountain, the waterfront or the convention
centre, returning via one of the exquisite beaches at Clifton or Camps Bay where
you can enjoy an exotic seafood meal and enjoy the night life before returning
to the quiet of Hout Bay.
