Ocean vistas and refined luxury from a Clifton cliffside perch
About this hotel
Perched in Cape Town's exclusive Clifton district, the 21 Nettleton Boutique Hotel & Luxury Residence presents an adults-only sanctuary where the ocean takes center stage.

As the golden hour approaches, the terrace transforms into an idyllic setting for a sundowner, with the sky ablaze in hues of orange and pink over the Atlantic.

This boutique hotel crafts an experience where every moment is framed by the majestic ocean, from morning light to the tranquil night.

Why guests love itSeeking a few days of hush between road trips, a couple in their fifties chose 21 Nettleton in Clifton for its adults-only policy. Their favourite moment came each evening on the public balcony, glass from the bar in hand, as the sea below shifted from blue to silver. Mornings were slow and private. Having private parking made exploring the Atlantic coast by car easy. Dining options on site are limited, so food-focused travelers will be eating out most nights.
