21 Nettleton
Luxury
Overview
21 Nettleton provides an elevated boutique hotel experience, and that’s not just because of the commanding view. The secluded setting allows its guests to relax in comfort and luxury, whether that’s next to the pool, on the garden terrace or in one of the lounges. With the back opening onto the Table Mountain Nature Reserve, guests have exclusive access to the hiking trails up Lion’s Head, Signal Hill and Table Mountain.
In 2016, the house was carefully converted into a boutique hotel with five suites and a spectacular penthouse. Each room is individually appointed with bespoke art, antique furniture and luxurious soft furnishings – styled in a modern fashion. Closed to the public and accommodating only 12 guests, 21 Nettleton provides uninterrupted privacy and 5-star hotel service in a magnificent clifftop mansion, the epitome of elegance and luxury.
A striking, distinguishing feature of 21 Nettleton is the collection of hand-selected pieces owner Hugo has picked up during a lifetime of travels, providing glimpses into the myriad of cultures and people he has met. The art collection boasts over 150 pieces and predominantly focuses on iconic South African art, but also features unique pieces from Europe, China, India and the Middle East
The team at 21 Nettleton strives to create inspiring moments that form a life-long impression. Guests leave with memories of golden sunsets as the fading light catches the tops of the Twelve Apostles, the panoramic views of Clifton’s iconic beaches, outdoor massages under the wild strelitzia nestled in the giant granite boulders and unique garden dinners under the stars of the southern hemisphere, while sipping a fine South African vintage.
