Stay at Cape Town's latest city beach house
Cape Clifton is a designer den built into the cliffs above Cape Town's with uninterrupted views of the Twelve Apostles mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. It's a short stroll from the trendy Clifton 4th beach and a stone's throw from the cocktail bars of Camps Bay. The owners have created the perfect base from which to explore Cape Town's magic. Pack a towel and lots of sun cream and head down to Clifton 2nd beach or a short drive to Llandudno which is more secluded and our favourite beach, although more exposed when the wind gets up. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to cafes and restaurants, so get in touch and we'll send you our top tips. If you're feeling fit then take on one of the Table Mountain hikes or the more leisurely little sister, Lion's Head. Otherwise take a drive down the peninsula to Kalk Bay, wave at the penguins at Boulders and be sure to take a pit stop at the Food Barn on your way home for lunch.
