The Long Beach is a five star waterfront retreat right on the beach in the picturesque lobster-fishing village of Kommetjie, a short thirty-minute drive from Cape Town. It is truly a special place to stay, offering a rare and rewarding alternative, romantic hideaway.

Add to this the uninterrupted views across Hout Bay to Table Mountain, and you have the ultimate unspoilt paradise in which to walk, ride horses or surf.

The interior design incorporates tranquil blues and hand painted natural fabrics to echo the exquisite coastal setting. All rooms have air conditioning, heated towel rails, satellite TV and private safes.

There is an inviting pool and relaxing sun decks from which you can scan the ocean for whales, or you can catch your own lobster and request it for dinner. Included in the rates are lavish breakfasts, free drinks including bespoke wines and premium spirits, and an in-house chauffeur service is available to guests for restaurant transfers or tailored tours to the highlights of Cape Town.

The personalized hospitality from warm, genial hosts ensures guests enjoy the “freestylishness” synonymous with The Last Word.

Cape Town is the African riviera, undeniably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. There is more to see and do than any other place you can think of. And there’s a special way to make the most of it in one visit.

Amid the scenic beauty you will find the worlds premier land-based whale watching sites, great white cage diving, profusions of game fish, lobsters, top surfing spots, mountain climbing, the worlds most varied sightings of sea birds, pristine white beaches, signature golf courses, rare floral kingdoms, nature reserves, superb local wines, world class restaurants and shopping, pulsating nightlife, the township phenomenon, characterful local cultures, art and music, and hidden gems of comfort, peace and privacy all imparting an air of refreshing optimism.

But as a previous premier of the Cape Colony, Cecil John Rhodes once muttered, “so much to do, so little time”.

Now The Last Word offers savvy time conscious travellers the opportunity to discover so much more of the Cape in one visit. The diversity and closeness of our retreats – within a few hours drive of one another – allows guests to create a fusion of holiday experiences mixing and matching unrivalled settings with a variety of attractions and activities.

Imagine a few days enjoying magnificent mountain views amid tranquil gardens in the most exclusive suburb (The Constantia) then spending a few days right on an undiscovered beach (The Long Beach) to a few days wining and dining in the gourmet capital of South Africa (The Franschhoek) and find the real heartbeat of Cape Town.
