The Last Word Long Beach is right on the beach in the picturesque lobster-fishing village of Kommetjie behind Table Mountain, a short 30-minute drive from Cape Town. The eight kilometres of fine white powdered sand set against a backdrop of the most stunning sea views offers Cape Town’s most romantic hideaway, one of just a handful of places where the sea is on your doorstep.

It is an unspoilt paradise in which to walk, ride horses, surf or simply laze in the sun. Silvery sands tickle your toes. Cool sea breezes caress your cheeks. From the inviting pool or your private deck, you can watch whales frolic a hundred meters offshore and in season, you can catch your own lobster and request it for dinner. Service is characterful, generous and personally brushed by innate kindness.

The five-star intimate hotel has six ultra-luxurious rooms all with stylishly comfortable interiors, a private patio, a separate bath and shower, and a separate lounge area.  Each spectacularly appointed room faces the sea – as do the bathrooms! The interior design incorporates tranquil blues, hand painted fabrics with splashes of colour that complement the exquisite coastal setting.
