21 Nettleton Boutique Hotel & Luxury Residence

My fiancé and I stayed for 7 nights at 21 Nettleton and were completely blown away by every aspect of our experience. Perched atop Clifton, the hotel offers some of the most breathtaking views in Cape Town—uninterrupted vistas of Clifton Beach, Camps Bay, and the Twelve Apostles that take your breath away. The butler service is truly outstanding: requests made via the in-room iPad are handled promptly, and having a direct WhatsApp contact made it easy to get help even when we were out exploring. Staff went above and beyond—they remembered our preferences, like swapping all regular cokes in the complimentary minibar for Coke Zero after noticing our repeated orders. Special shoutout to the concierge team, especially Nathan—he arranged everything from private massages and yoga sessions to a personalized hiking tour, all delivered with top-tier quality. And let’s not forget the chef’s signature homemade berry crumble—it was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had, rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. This place isn’t just a stay—it’s an unforgettable experience.

Ellerman House

Staying at Ellerman House for the third time only deepened my admiration for this remarkable place. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in a rare blend of refined luxury and heartfelt warmth. The service is consistently exceptional—attentive without being intrusive, professional yet genuinely friendly. Our room was breathtaking, with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean that truly need to be seen to be believed. Elegant furnishings, stunning artwork throughout, and an incredibly comfortable bed made for the perfect night's sleep. The bathroom was spacious and beautifully designed, with thoughtfully chosen toiletries. Every detail was considered—from the well-stocked minibar to the guest pantry, which offers fresh-baked treats and snacks 24/7. Breakfast on the veranda is pure joy, setting the tone for a perfect day. Cocktail hour is magical: expertly crafted drinks paired with exquisite canapés, an experience worth remembering. I found a little nook just outside the study—a sunny spot by a gentle fountain with cozy outdoor seating—where I’d love to spend hours. The gym offers jaw-dropping views, and though I didn’t visit the spa this time, I’m already looking forward to returning for another unforgettable massage. The on-site art gallery is world-class, showcasing a beautifully curated collection of South African contemporary art. The wine gallery is both an architectural gem and a tribute to local winemaking—absolutely must-see. During our stay, my partner had to leave unexpectedly due to a family emergency. The staff’s compassion and support were deeply touching—especially Marilie, whose empathy and kindness meant more than words can express. That level of humanity is what sets Ellerman apart. Dinner was as impeccable as always, paired with outstanding South African wines. Though I don’t recall the waiter’s name, he was charming and attentive. In an industry where genuine hospitality is rare, Ellerman House stands as a shining example of how it should be done. I work in a five-star hotel myself, and honestly, every property should take inspiration from this one. Can’t wait to come back.
