I know it’s easy to exaggerate reviews when you love it and had a great time, but 21 Nettleton is seriously the most incredible place I’ve stayed at in recent years. Never have I seen luxury blended with charm in this way. And since it’s super easy to write a few words that proves nothing I will therefore let the pictures do the talking. (Pictures are not edited!) Probably the best hotel in South Africa in 2025.

This was the final place we stayed on a month long trip starting in London through Spain and Tanzania. Cape Town and 21 Nettelton are amazing.

Ultimate Perfection We stayed at 21 Nettleton at the start of our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. PERFECT! The hotel itself is a mansion on the hill top with only 6 rooms, so you get ultimate privacy, attention to detail and peace. The staff are all fantastic, on hand for any little thing you need and nothing is too much trouble for them. The pool is lovely, with a small jumping ledge, if you like that sort of thing (I do!). Breakfast is a feast and the sundowners canapes are a wonderful addition. We also opted to have dinner one night, which you can arrange in advance, and it was absolutely worth every penny - they will basically cook whatever you want and we asked for a dinner centred around grilled crayfish. It was amazing. I review almost all of my stays, because I find them useful. And I have never found a place that truly deserves a 10/10, but 21 Nettleton definitely does. We will be returning and recommending it to everyone!

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.
