Located right on the beach in the picturesque lobster-fishing village of Kommetjie, a short 30 minute drive from Cape Town. The eight kilometres of finewhite powdered sand set against a backdrop of the most stunning sea views offers Cape Town’s most romantic hideaway. (images 4 & above)

The Last Word Bishopscourt is situated in what is arguably Cape Town's most beautiful and prestigious suburb, so close to Table Mountain, you'll want to reach out and touch it. (images 1 & 6)

he Cape Town peninsula and the adjoining Cape winelands offer a beautiful variety of leafy suburbs, glorious beachfronts and vine-filled valleys, dominated by stunning chains of mountains and most notably the iconic flat topped peak of Table Mountain. It is therefore not surprising that discerning visitors to Cape Province will look well outside of Cape Town city centre in search of that elusive and relaxing boutique Cape retreat. It will be unlikely that they will find a better choice than the aptly named “Last Word” collection of 5 star sanctuaries.

Rarely has the termboutique beenmore appropriate as each of the four hotels only offer between five and nine oversized rooms and suites all with private patios or terraces. Unlike larger hotels this promotes a more engaging experience for each guest and the owners are keen to extend genuine home-spun hospitality, charm and local knowledge so that the maximum enjoyment is achieved.

By combining stays in two or more of the hotels it is possible in just one visit to discover the rich variety of the area. Imagine a few days enjoying magnificent mountain views amid tranquil gardens in Cape Town’s most exclusive suburbs Constantia and Bishopscourt, ultimate relaxation and romance on the beach front at Long Beach, or simply a couple of nights wining and dining in South Africa’s gourmet capital Franschhoek.

Situated in the Cape’s oldest and most beautiful wine valley, The Last Word Constantia is close to seven of South Africa’s top wine estates and many internationally celebrated restaurants. (images 3 & 5)
