Things to Do When Staying at The Marlo

Your Sea Point guide to the best of Cape Town

Staying at The Marlo places you right in the heart of Sea Point — one of Cape Town’s most vibrant and well-positioned neighbourhoods. With ocean views, the promenade on your doorstep, and the city within easy reach, everything flows effortlessly from here.

Here’s how to make the most of your stay.


Start with the Ocean

One of the best parts of staying at The Marlo is how close you are to the Sea Point Promenade.

Start your morning with a coffee and a walk, a jog along the coast, or even a refreshing ocean dip. It’s simple, but it’s one of the most iconic Cape Town experiences.


Coffee, Brunch & Easy Mornings

Sea Point is known for its café culture — and you’re right in the middle of it.

Walk to:

  • Jarryd’s for a lively brunch
  • Arthur’s Mini Super for something more casual and quirky
  • Sonny & Irene or Pauline’s for something a little more refined

Or take a short drive to Camps Bay for breakfast with a full ocean view.


Beach Days, Your Way

From The Marlo, you’re minutes away from some of Cape Town’s best beaches:

  • Clifton – pristine and sheltered
  • Camps Bay – vibrant and social
  • Saunders Rock tidal pool – calm and scenic
  • Llandudno – quiet and wild

Whether it’s a full beach day or a quick sunset swim, it’s all within easy reach.


Rooftop Moments at Home

You don’t always need to go far.

The Marlo’s rooftop pool is the perfect place to unwind — whether it’s a quiet morning, an afternoon reset, or sunset drinks with ocean views.


Explore Cape Town’s Icons

When you’re ready to explore further:

  • Take the cable car up Table Mountain
  • Hike Lion’s Head for sunrise or sunset
  • Spend an afternoon at the V&A Waterfront
  • Drive Chapman’s Peak for unforgettable views

All easily accessible from your base at The Marlo.

 


Dining & Evenings

Evenings in Cape Town are all about good food and atmosphere.

Stay local in Sea Point or head out to:

  • The Bungalow for sunset dining
  • Kloof Street House for something more intimate
  • Bree Street for a mix of restaurants and bars

From relaxed dinners to lively nights out, there’s something for every mood.


Take a Day for the Winelands

If you have time, a wine day is a must.

  • Constantia (closest) for a relaxed half-day
  • Stellenbosch or Franschhoek for a full-day experience

Think long lunches, beautiful views, and some of the best wines in the world.
