Cape View Clifton is a four-storey, family-owned hotel that clings to the hills on Cape Town Atlantic coast, boasting the most phenomenal views in town with uninterrupted, heart-stopping panoramas of Camps Bay white beach backed by the Twelve Apostles mountain range. The property, which balances between a luxury guesthouse and a small-scale boutique hotel, has 9 accommodations, with 3 deluxe rooms, 2 junior suites and 4 apartments. Interiors are light and airy with an eclectic mix of contemporary and Colonial African style, although it are the unsurpassed sea and mountain views that will take your breath away. The apartments have private outdoor decks with jacuzzis and BBQ facilities. If you prefer not to dine out every night, the staff will be glad to offer you a delicious simple homemade meal served informally on the pool deck.
