Overview

With decadent suites overlooking Cape Town’s sparkling Atlantic coastline, 21 Nettleton is an exclusive and luxurious hotel hideaway perched on the slopes of Lion’s Head peak. From its multiple storeys and generous balconies, you can enjoy panoramic views of the ocean, the Twelve Apostles mountain range, and the affluent Clifton neighbourhood – with its four beautiful beached - below. The hotel boasts the area’s largest private gardens and its manicured lawns invite you outside to soak up the warm African sun, or take a dip in the swimming pool.

While elegant grounds and beautiful views promise a tranquil stay, the opulent Italian-inspired interiors with high ceilings, a grand triple-volume staircase, and antique collectibles offer a romantic and captivating atmosphere.

Situated on the mountainside in the Cape Town suburb of Clifton, is the elegant mansion, 21 Nettleton. A mixture of Italian opulence and African colonialism. The expansive accommodation offers both breath taking mountain and sea views while one is surrounded by private and tranquil gardens.
