After reading all the reviews, me and my wife couldn't wait to spend 4 nights in this B&B! Our first impressions upon arrival were good: a nice spacious room with a comfortable bed and beautiful view. However in the following days our initial positive impression was tempered by a few events all concerning the service (not the room or place... More

I've been meaning to write a review of Le Marais since our stay in March 2011, and here it is (belatedly). We booked out the whole of Le Marais for family and friends to stay in prior to our wedding. As we'd stayed here before, my fiance and I thought it would be a great, quiet base to relax prior... More

I stayed here a couple of nights just to get out of the city for a bit. Hassle-free, stylish, clean, and comfortable, this place is located in a safe, secure neighborhood close to all Hout Bay offers. There is a quality grocery store right down the lane, and gas nearby. I stayed in one of the cheaper rooms, but it... More

I came to South Africa for the first time last week and every part of our trip was better than the previous one! "The Icing On The Cake" was "le Marais Guest House in Hout Bay" where friendlier, warmer and more pleasant stay can not be found anywhere. From The wonderful Hosts Patrice and Stevie to the staff everyone was... More

I stayed at Le Marais on a long Business trip in 2011 and was lucky enough to sample more than just one room in this charming establishment. I found the standard of accomodation and hospitality more than met my somewhat demanding expectations. It's situated in a quiet and safe corner of Hout Bay within walking distance of a few useful...

It was for us a absolut fantastic stay – we loved the interiors, service & atmosphere of the “Le Marais” Guesthouse. Breakfast was delicious, loved the cosy lounge & fire! We’re happy to have discovered such a lovely place to stay in such a gorgeous town. We are already planning to return next year!

Accommodation: The bed was extremely comfortable, our room was spacious and very well maintained, the main house was inviting, the pool was solar heated (our baby loved it), the back patio was great for star gazing. Food: Patrice made scrambled eggs from his grandmother's recipe that was transcendental, fresh, healthy and delicious Hospitality: This is where Le Marais shined, Patrice... More

This place was a real find - we know cape town well but it was nice to stay in Houts Bay on the outskirts in a quieter area for once that offers its own restaurants and beach etc. The rooms are very spacious and tastefully decorated we were in the apartment which was well kitted out and exceedingly practical with...
