Cape View Clifton

The four famous beaches of Clifton sit beneath one of Cape Town’s most desirable places to live and one of the most extensive areas in the world for real estates. With this in mind, it is not surprising that one of the Cape’s most beautiful properties is found here, although it still remains somewhat of a hidden gem, accessible only to those in the know.

Called Cape View Clifton, it was converted from a cherished family home into a series of suites and larger apartments, all of which look down the clifftops to the shimmering waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Cape View really is “beach house chic” with light, airy and spacious rooms with stacking doors that open on to private balconies that boast the same amazing views as the main house. The rooms come with all of the amenities one could wish for, as do the beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms. The pool deck is a gem of a spot to relax, with staff able to serve drinks and meals here, with the deck boasting such amazing views and seclusion that there is little need for many guest to venture down to the often crowded beaches. Despite the small nature of the property the breakfast is outstanding and a welcome start to busy days exploring the Cape. The staff are wonderfully dedicated and will do their utmost to ensure guests once for nothing throughout their stay, helping book restaurants, plan days out and reconfirm flights or onward transfers as the need arises.

With the beaches of Clifton mere steps away, the upmarket suburb of Camps Bay a short drive from the property and central Cape Town a few minutes by car, there couldn’t be anywhere better for enjoying amazing sea views and privacy but with the attractions of Cape Town just on your doorstep.
