Hotels in Margate: prices and the best time to book
Margate is a coastal town on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, known for its golden sandy beaches and water sports. It is a popular holiday spot on the Indian Ocean, with surfing, a crocodile farm nearby and a nature reserve. Accommodation ranges from budget guesthouses and B&Bs to beachfront apartments and hotels with an ocean view. This list holds 657 properties. Below you will find the dates when rates drop, prices by standard and specific addresses with prices.
When booking in Margate costs the least
The season in Margate runs the opposite way to Europe, as this is the southern hemisphere. It is dearest and busiest in the middle of the southern summer, in December and January, during the school holidays, when South Africans head to the coast and rates run several times higher than off-peak. It stays warm for a long stretch, from September to April, a good time for the beach without the biggest crowds. The cheapest is the southern winter, from June to August, when it is cooler. Across the week the lowest rates are on Tuesday, while weekends, especially Saturday, are dearer. For December and January and for weekends it pays to book well ahead.
What a night costs by standard
Accommodation is broad and affordable: plenty of budget guesthouses and B&Bs, beachfront apartments, mid-range hotels and a few properties with an ocean view. Indicative nightly rates for two:
| Property standard | Indicative price per night (from) |
|---|---|
| Budget guesthouse or B&B | from approx. R600 |
| 3-star hotel | from approx. R900 |
| Beachfront apartment | from approx. R1,350 |
| Beach lodge or 4-star hotel | from approx. R1,500 |
| Higher-end resort | from approx. R2,450 |
Indicative rates for a double room, clearly higher in December and January and on weekends. Prices in South African rand. In the southern winter and mid-week the same properties can be cheaper, and you can check the real amount for your dates in the search above.
Where to stay in Margate
Life in the resort centres on the main Margate beach, close to the promenade, restaurants and surf schools, and this is where most hotels and apartments with an ocean view stand. Families with children favour the quieter Ramsgate and Uvongo beaches, a little further along the coast, with gentler water. It is cheaper a little away from the seafront. Neighbouring Southbroom is a quieter spot for those seeking peace. A rental car is the handiest way to get around, as it lets you cover the whole coast and reach the attractions out of town, and local taxis and minibuses also run. Remember they drive on the left.
Which Margate stay fits whom
- Families. Families with children favour the quieter Ramsgate and Uvongo beaches and properties with an ocean view and a pool, like Margate Beach Lodge. The Riverbend crocodile farm nearby is a full-day attraction.
- Surfers and the active. Those who come for the waves choose a stay by the main Margate beach, near surf schools and gear hire, and the trails in the Skyline Nature Reserve.
- Couples. For a romantic break, apartments and beach lodges with an ocean view are the pick, like Wailana Beach Lodge, with dinner overlooking the Indian Ocean.
- Higher standard. For a quiet stay with a sea view, resorts and beachfront lodges are recommended, like First Group La Cote D'Azur.
- On a budget. Budget guesthouses and B&Bs a little away from the beach are the cheapest, like Mlawu Guest House or Swallows Nest, a good base without a high price.
