Marlinspike Guest Lodge

Hout Bay is rich in beaches (towels supplied), mountain walks and bird life or visit the famous World of Birds or the historic cannons and old fort. For the more adventurous, you may choose a fishing trip or kayaking to fill your holiday.

We also have 3 markets. One every day at the waterfront, one every Sunday and one (covered) every Friday night and Saturday.

Just over the ‘nek’ (about 10 minutes drive) is the Constantia wine route offering some of the finest wines in the Cape and only 20 minutes drive will bring you to Table Mountain, the waterfront or the convention centre. Take the road over the famed Chapman’s Peak Drive to Cape Point (45 minutes) and then travel round the peninsula to visit the penguins at Boulders beach.
