A boutique property on Long Beach, 45 minutes from the center of Cape Town
Open-plan lounge/dining area, balcony, beach access through gardens
Six sumptuous suites and rooms, all with lovely beach views
Beach walks, whale watching, horse riding, excursions to local attractions
Long Beach Hotel is well placed to offer an exciting assortment of activities. The beach itself is perfect for walking, paddling, swimming, and horse rides. You can also explore the mountains on foot or by bike, via a number of trails. Whales may be sighted between July and November, so that’s the best time of year to visit for wildlife fans!
The fishing village of Kommetjie is well worth exploring, and many attractions in the area are just a drive away – Boulders Beach, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, and Table Mountain. Other places to visit include Chapman’s Peak (5km), Cape Point Vineyards Estate (6km), Fish Hoek Valley Museum (9km), Hout Bay Market (9km), and the wonderful World of Birds (13km).
Most travellers to this area, the Cape Peninsula, will transfer by road from Cape Town, having touched down at the Mother City’s international airport. Long Beach Hotel is set almost on the beach, which stretches for 8 kilometres with mountains providing a majestic backdrop. It is a modern building and offers free parking on site.
The interiors include an open-plan lounge and dining area – this space features comfortable sofas, armchairs, pouffes, and occasional tables, in a contemporary style.
The palette is sky blue and neutrals, with a few plants for vibrant greens. There are chic separate dining tables too, with upright chairs in white wicker. This space flows out onto a balcony with additional lounge and dining furniture. Here, guests can relax while gazing out across the sands and over the ocean. The hotel also has well-kept gardens, and a gate leads directly to the beach, with its landmark lighthouse.
** For families with children under the age of 6 years, we always request a first floor room or a room without a balcony for safety reasons. If you stay here with us, please ensure this is what you are given.**
