Last Word Long Beach: Elegant Suite

The Last Word’s “beyond boutique” family of hotels epitomises the ultimate escape: comfort, exclusivity, tranquillity, space and sumptuousness, beautiful settings, with awe-inspiring views – and not least of all the often elusive factor that makes a luxury stay feel like home: warm hospitality.

Last Word Long Beach looks over the long white-sand beach that links Noordhoek and Kommetjie on Cape Town’s southern peninsula. It offers what seaside dreams are made of – surfing, SUPing, morning dips in the ocean, exhilarating horse-riding along the beach, sunset strolls and glorious ocean views are what it’s all about here.

The six rooms and suites boast sparkling sea views with the hypnotic sound of the waves lulling you to sleep. Hosts Fanie and Jackie will help you make the most of the idyllic beach lifestyle: hiring wetsuits and boards, sharing the natural beauty of the peninsula, serving a seafood feast in the ocean-facing dining room, or a romantic dinner on the balcony of your suite.
