21 Nettleton Boutique Hotel & Luxury Residence

A much needed staycation with our 8month old son,celebrating Dads birthday. From arrival to exit, we were treated royally. Spacious well designed room.Tranquility & vast ocean views. Dirk, Alvhin & the rest of the team make your stay truly exceptional. Great food - breakfast is a treat & loads of space on the lawn to relax by the pool. Can’t wait to return.

Words are inadequate to describe this hotel but I’ll try! Tranquil, stunning, intimate, personal, full of character. The personal attention and dedication to service was at an extraordinarily high level. House Manager Nathan was on a mission to ensure our every need was taken care of. Sonny drove us wherever we needed to be - he was reliable, affable and a total delight. Sonny by name and disposition! And Chef Ronald went out of his way to cook us a private dinner which was out of this world. He also ensured our dietary requirements were met superbly. Tekee and Slendo also helped us at the hotel and we are grateful for all they did for us. The hotel is perched at the top of the hill overlooking the sea and conveniently located. Our room was luxurious, large, well maintained and had a view that was simply magnificent. The hotel feels like your staying in someone’s beautiful home, rather than a corporate hotel. The lounge area was chic, intimate and inviting. The garden has the best views and small pool where we relaxed listening to the sea and birds. A total delight. In summary, 21 Nettleton is the hotel to come to if you want tranquility, peace, rest, luxury and outstanding customer service. My wife and I can’t recommend it strongly enough.

21 Nettleton is pure magic. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from a small boutique hotel as I’ve never had such an experience before and there weren’t a ton of detailed reviews. I found 21 Nettleton on Instagram and couldn’t pass up staying in a place that looked so stunning in pictures. We stayed here for our honeymoon for 4 nights and I was truly blown away. With only 6 rooms (12 guests maximum) the intimacy is unmatched. The staff knows you well. They know what you like and how you like it after only 1 day of being there. The views are so beyond spectacular. My jaw was on the floor when we were given a tour on arrival. The 21 Nettleton team went above and beyond for us. After a nightmare travel experience we ended up arriving over 12 hours later than initially planned which was the day after our planned check in. 21 Nettleton moved our reservation back one day so we could still enjoy all 4 days that we paid for AND they upgraded us to the presidential suite on the top floor which is the most unbelievable room I’ve ever stayed in and probably will ever stay in. It’s massive (at least triple the size of my NYC apartment) with wrap around views of the entire coast. I genuinely couldn’t believe how kind and accommodating they were given our situation. The 21 Nettleton team truly takes care of you. We had a driver for every night we were there who waited on site for us to finish up dinner/drinks and would then take us wherever we wanted to go. Not to mention the car they provide is insanely luxurious. Our driver Sani was incredible, attentive, and so kind. We spent a lot of time with Nathan and Utti as well who were so personable and couldn’t do enough for us. We had a private dinner on our first night which was incredibly delicious. They paired the meal with a local Chardonnay which was phenomenal. Such a beautiful experience with such wonderful attention to detail. Thank you 21 Nettleton for making our honeymoon dreams come true. I rarely return to a place when I travel because there is so much of the world to see but I will be back to 21 Nettleton.

Our stay at 21 Nettleton was fantastic! The hotel offers a bespoke experience that is tailored to your needs, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time possible. We felt like royalty and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and personal touch on their next trip to Cape Town. Some details about our experience: On the check-in, we were greeted by the assistant manager and staff, who couldn't have been more welcoming. They were more than happy to help us with our luggage and even offered us a glass of prosecco as a complimentary welcome drink. The luxurious tone of the hotel was already setting in, and we couldn't wait to explore more. We had a quick tour of the property and were impressed by the complete privacy and exclusivity offered by the hotel. We decided not to leave the hotel on the first day, and instead explored the area around the swimming pool and the hotel itself. I spent some time working in the lounge area, which was a piece of art in itself. We spent the rest of the evening sipping cocktails at the pool grotto and enjoying the outdoor parlour area near the pool grotto. With bird calls and breaking waves forming the soothing backing track, we enjoyed in-house spa treatments. I also didn't forget to hydrate, as the hotel provided the bottles by "Yes definitely" brand, which is their water collaboration celebrating local artists. We ended the first day with sunset canapés and a romantic dinner with the seafood and wine selection curated by the in-house chef Ronald. We spent hours indulging the views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It was like a dream come true...

Sensational service in stunning location with breathtaking views overlooking Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard. This exclusive Hotel is just a quick walk away from the beaches of Clifton. The food was yummy, the staff super friendly; I would go back in a heartbeat.

We stayed at 21 Nettleton for 4 nights at the very start of our honeymoon and it was the most incredible place we have ever and probably will ever stay! Could not recommend 21 Nettleton any more highly. We actually weren't really sure what to expect as there are so few reviews online so we couldn't really get a sense of what the place is like - after staying there I think this is just a reflection of the fact there are only 6 rooms rather than a reflection on the hotel. It isn't your standard 'hotel' experience as there is no formal restaurant or lobby area so you communicate with the butlers via an iPad in your room. This is in no way a negative, the staff are always available and you get the sense that there is no request that they would say no to. For breakfast they set up a table for you either outside on the terrace or inside depending on the weather, at whatever time you like, you just agree with them via the iPad or in person. They serve drinks and canapes at sunset, timing of which they agree with you in advance depending on what your plans are. All of the staff are amazing and so friendly, for example we had a car delivered to the hotel and as the driveway is quite small up a VERY steep drive they suggested they turn the car around for us so we didn't have to reverse, before we had even thought about it. They are really helpful with suggestions and helping you to plan your trip - we were planning a drive to Cape Point and were just thinking about how we'd schedule the day when one of the managers asked us our plans and instantly planned our whole day out for us and booked us an amazing restaurant for lunch. Breakfast was delicious and all the room service options for lunch were great. The chef made us a tapas style dinner on the first night which we had agreed in advance, and this was also excellent. The location is totally spectacular - you could not ask for better views. It's also an ideal location for exploring Cape Town and the surrounding area - you are a 10/15 minute drive from everything. You can get an uber into town for restaurants and the waterfront in 10 minutes, but you can also get up to Table Mountain, Camps Bay, Hout Bay, and Champmans peak super easily as it is on that side of Cape Town. To be balanced in my review I've tried to think of a downside - the only one I can think of would be if you had mobility issues it would probably not be ideal as there are a lot of steps up to the hotel, but this wasn't an issue for us. All in all an amazing stay - we have already recommended the hotel to another couple we met later on in our trip, and will recommend it to anyone looking for places to stay in cape town. We would not hesitate in booking to come back!

From the second I walked in I was taken aback by the eclectic beauty of the hotel itself. One could tell that every piece of furniture, art work and sculpture was hand picked and thoroughly thought through. The view of this location is breathtaking, overlooking the entire Atlantic seaboard. The suit was so perfectly equipped that I could live in it, which I basically did for my entire stay. Very romantic layout and a stunning veranda with your own private view of the ocean. What impressed me the most was the service. The most friendliest staff with whom we could talk to via an iPad, received upon arrival. This was such a great touch. They were literally at our service at every point of our stay. They went out of their way to make it the most peaceful vacation. Also, compliments to the chefs, my favourite was the delicious breakfast overlooking the exquisite view. I will definitely be back!

Spent a night here with my partner and it was breathtaking. The service was sublime and friendly, the views are stunning, the amenities super well-kept (sauna, pool, etc) and the breakfast was amazing. Would definitely go back & recommend anyone who is visiting Cape Town to pay 22 Nettleton a visit!

Myself and my partner had the most amazing 2 days at 21 Nettleton The location is absolutely perfect, close enough to the many exquisite beaches, restaurants and the V&A Waterfront. However, funnily enough during our 2 night stay - we ended up not leaving the beautiful hotel at all as the exceptional service of the staff, the attention to detail in operations and the amazing massages one can get IN YOUR ROOM. Some of our highlights were: The staff friendliness & helpfulness The pool, even in winter was just perfect The sauna and steam room The views of the Atlantic Seaboard Dinner Breakfast was out of this world too I cannot wait for my next visit to this exceptional hotel Next time it'll have to be for longer, though :)
