Overview

Resting at the foot of Lion’s Head in the secluded, ocean-facing enclave of Bantry Bay, this luxurious boutique hotel is perfect for discerning travellers seeking a quiet retreat just minutes away from Cape Town’s most beautiful beaches and the popular V&A Waterfront.

Savour spectacular Atlantic Ocean views over a breakfast of golden croissants and dark, aromatic coffee while planning your day. Spend the morning soaking up the sun on the award-winning beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, or stroll along the sociable Sea Point Promenade, stopping for people watching at a seaside café. Spend a secluded afternoon beside the hotel’s sparkling pool set in a manicured garden or explore the sights and sounds of the city on a day-tour. Capetonians love to salute the setting sun, and the coastline is studded with popular cocktail spots, not the least of which is your suite’s private patio or the hotel’s gorgeous terrace.

Bantry Bay is a perfect base from which to explore the rest of the Cape Peninsula. A scenic coastal road winds its way south past charming seaside towns and wild beaches to tip of the African continent at Cape Point.

Facilities

The secluded location of this 5-star boutique hotel is perfect for guests who want to combine the delights of Cape Town with a quiet, crowd-free retreat.

Relax and unwind from all the stresses of life with a visit to the hotel's mini-spa or with a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. Then, there's no better way to end of your day than with a cold drink at the bate before heading off to the restaurant to enjoy a decadent meal.

Dining

Begin the day with a sumptuous English breakfast on the sunny terrace while you take in the magnificent Atlantic Ocean views.
