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:
