Just a few minutes from Camps Bay it enjoys one of the world's most beautiful settings and boasts uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean. You may even spot a few whales! Admire the vistas from the Leopard Bar - the perfect place to unwind before dinner at the Azure Restaurant, which serves delicious international fare with a South African slant! The hotel also has a small cinema, an amazing spa (including an outdoor mountain gazebo!) - or you can enjoy the local fauna and flora with hiking trails.
