Just 10 minutes’ drive from the city centre, overlooking one of South Africa’s most pristine stretches of coastline, The Bay combines the personal service and charm of a country hotel with the sophistication and efficiency of an international resort property. The 77 elegant bedrooms and suites offer spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, Table Mountain or the craggy Twelve Apostles. Many have a balcony and all feature a private entrance lobby, air-conditioning and en-suite bathroom. The cuisine of the highly-regarded Tides Restaurant is fresh, simple and modern, and snacks and refreshments can also be enjoyed at the poolside Espresso bar, the lounge, the ‘Sandy B’ beach-style bar or Traders bar/lounge, or by means of the 24-hour room service. No children under 12 years.
