Where every moment is crafted with meaning.
There are places you visit, and then there are places that stay with you. 21 Nettleton truly belongs to the latter. Nestled between mountain and sea in the heart of Clifton, Cape Town, this private residence redefines luxury hospitality through its rare combination of intimacy, art, and personalised care.
Here, every stay becomes a story: a collection of 21 Nettleton experiences designed exclusively for our guests. From bespoke dining and curated art encounters to wellness rituals and cultural discovery, each moment is thoughtfully composed to reflect who you are and how you wish to travel.
This is not a hotel stay, but an immersion into the art of curated luxury.
Private Cliffside Dining
At 21 Nettleton, dining is transformed into an experience of place and emotion. Guests can enjoy private cliffside dinners overlooking the Atlantic, surrounded by candlelight and the sound of waves below. Each menu is tailored to personal preference, celebrating Cape Town’s seasonal produce and culinary artistry.
Every meal becomes a memory, set against the backdrop of ocean, art, and soft coastal air.
Art & Design Immersion
A defining feature of 21 Nettleton’s unique offerings is its art collection — more than 150 hand-selected works gathered by owner Hugo from across the world. From South African masters to rare pieces from Europe, China, and India, the collection reflects a lifetime of travel and discovery.
Every room tells a visual story, where heritage meets contemporary expression, and art becomes a daily companion.
Personal Wellness Rituals
Balance is central to the 21 Nettleton experience. Wellness here is deeply personal, from open-air massages beside the pool grotto to guided yoga or Pilates sessions overlooking the Atlantic.
Each element of your stay is designed to nourish mind and body, transforming rest into renewal.
Exclusive Guided Excursions
Adventure and elegance meet in 21 Nettleton’s curated excursions. Guests can embark on private yacht charters along the Atlantic seaboard, take scenic helicopter flights over the Cape Peninsula, or join a personal guide for a sunrise hike on Lion’s Head.
Every experience is planned with precision and passion, allowing guests to experience Cape Town as only insiders do.
Cultural Encounters & Creative Access
Cape Town’s creative scene thrives on intimacy and inspiration, and 21 Nettleton opens the door to its inner circle. Guests may enjoy private gallery previews, designer meet-and-greets, or evenings spent discovering the work of local artisans and musicians.
