Time and time again the Mother City is recognised for its beauty. Travel + Leisure recently announced two Cape Town hotels on its annual world’s best new hotels’ list. In a statement, Travel + Leisure said: ‘This year, our guide to the essential openings (and reopenings) of the past year took us to 32 countries in pursuit of the unforgettable.
Camissa House, Cape Town
In the neighbourhood of Oranjezicht, you’ll find this tranquil 8-room boutique hotel. It’s no surprise this hotel landed a place on the ‘It List’. With Table Mountain as a backdrop and sweeping views of the city, this idyllic hotel is every bit luxurious as it is beautiful. With pops of colour throughout, an ode to the Cape Floral Kingdom and an array of delectable eats and thirst-quenching drinks, Camissa House embodies all things Cape Town. It’s proximity to the bustling V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay and Clifton beaches and the bustling City Bowl makes it a firm favourite with travellers. Guests will be made to feel at home with access to facilities like a reading and TV room, a glass atrium, a rooftop bar and many more nooks and crannies.
Lekkerwater Beach Lodge, De Hoop, South Africa
Natural Selection’s Lekkerwater Beach Lodge at De Hoop, in De Hoop Nature Reserve is seaside paradise. This solar-powered beach lodge has seven cabins situated under 250 metres from the ocean. Not only do us humans love this spot but between June and October, hundreds of southern right whales swim into the shallows to calve. De Hoop is a marine protected area and so there is an abundance of oceanic animals that frequent these waters. Guests spend their days either relaxing in a wood-fired hot tub, swimming in the sea or dipping in pool, exploring the many rockpools or they can have a braai on the beach. It’s no wonder this incredible destination was ranked among the world’s best.
