As you wend your way up Nettleton Road, the sea and mountain views grow ever more impressive. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean (and Cape Town’s best sunsets), 21 Nettleton cocoons you in discreet service, original art and thoughtful touches, like personalised Netflix account, an in-room iPad concierge service and reiki sessions at the pool.

Every suite is different and the Steinway Suite obviously has a grand piano. The boutique hotel is within easy reach of all Cape Town’s major city attractions such as Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and Clifton’s golden beaches. The guests-only restaurant and wine cellar offer up enticing pairings and all the rooms can be booked on an exclusive-use basis for family holidays.
