A place where time slows down, views stretch endlessly, and every detail is designed to delight the senses? Must be 21 Nettleton. But don’t just take our word for it. The stories shared by our guests, whether seasoned travellers, honeymooners, art lovers or explorers, paint a picture far more powerful than any brochure could.
This is what they say. This is 21 Nettleton through their eyes.
Real Guest Experiences That Tell the Story
From heartfelt testimonials to glowing online reviews, one theme stands out: 21 Nettleton feels like a dream.
On TripAdvisor, words like “magical” and “exceptional” are often used to describe guests’ experiences. One review reads, “I wouldn’t call this a boutique hotel, more like a super high-end serviced villa with exceptional and personalised service, which was right up my alley as I love more intimate and smaller hotels!”
Another guest wrote, “The hotel offers a super tailor-made stay and makes you feel at home. Staff is super caring and helpful, and facilities are comfortable, clean and beautiful. Best hotel we could have chosen during our stay in Cape Town.”
The combination of world-class hospitality, elegant interiors, and natural beauty creates something unforgettable. Whether our guests are sipping sundowners on the terrace or watching the clouds roll over Table Mountain from their private suite, the reviews all echo the same sentiment: this place stays with you.
The Service That Sets 21 Nettleton Apart
At the heart of every review is the service.
It’s personal, attentive, and completely tailored to you. Our team doesn’t simply give guests recommendations; they craft bespoke experiences. We’ll arrange private chefs, curated art tours and even last-minute reservations at Cape Town’s finest restaurants. Our concierge team brings luxury service to life.
One guest shared, “We loved every bit of our stay here. The staff were friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure our comfort.”
This level of care transforms a stay into something deeper, that’s something truly memorable. It’s not just about comfort, it’s about connection. That’s the 21 Nettleton way.
What Guests Can’t Stop Talking About
Let’s talk about the view.
Some of our favourite remarks about the views included:
“The property, the team, the views. This place and the people are incredible.”
“The location was perfect and the views were nothing short of spectacular with all the Clifton beaches in sight. We loved the fact that we could hear the ocean while lying by the pool.”
“We stayed for 5 nights at the apartment of the 21 Nettleton and were overwhelmed by the stunning views and beauty of the apartment and hotel.”
The sweeping, panoramic Atlantic views are a recurring star in nearly every 21 Nettleton review. Guests are mesmerised when waking up to golden light pouring in over the ocean and when lulled to sleep by the sound of waves crashing far below.
And then there’s the design:
Thoughtfully curated interiors that blend classic elegance with bold, contemporary flair. Every suite is unique. Every artwork has a story.
A recent guest shared her perspective, “Inside is sumptuously furnished giving a feel that this has been created with real passion for design rather than hotel formulaic perfunctory. The eclectic design embraces traditional and modern and I was fascinated by the fact every time I entered a room I noticed something else.”
Guests frequently comment on the stunning art collection, luxurious bedding, and the feeling of our space, inside and out.
Many guests also mention how much time they spent simply being at the villa.
Reading by the pool. Watching the sun melt into the sea. Enjoying a private yoga class on the lawn. As one guest said, “We had plans to explore the city but found ourselves not wanting to leave the villa.”
And the best part? You don’t have to. Our Private Villa experience is perfect for longer stays, offering complete exclusivity with all the indulgent amenities.
