The Long Beach...A rare find on the beach: The Long Beach is a five star waterfront retreat right on the beach in the picturesque lobster-fishing village of Kommetjie, a short thirty-minute drive from Cape Town. It is truly a special place to stay, offering a rare and rewarding alternative, romantic hideaway. Long Beach itself is eight kilometers of fine, white powdered sand, so pristine it alone will leave you breathless. Add to this the uninterrupted views across Hout Bay to Table Mountain, and you have the ultimate unspoilt paradise in which to walk, ride horses or surf. The Long Beach has six ultra luxurious suites all with stylishly comfortable interiors and private patios. Each spectacularly appointed room faces the sea – as do the bathrooms! The interior design incorporates tranquil blues and hand painted natural fabrics to echo the exquisite coastal setting. All rooms have air conditioning, heated towel rails, satellite TV and private safes.

There is an inviting pool and relaxing sun decks from which you can scan the ocean for whales, or you can catch your own lobster and request it for dinner. Included in the rates are lavish breakfasts, free drinks including bespoke wines and premium spirits, and an in-house chauffeur service is available to guests for restaurant transfers or tailored tours to the highlights of Cape Town.
