The Last Word is the most intimate experience you will find. Underpinning the pleasures in our sanctuaries are three very important values we hold dearly which are kindness, character and generosity. The smiles on the faces of our family members and their attention to guests’ well-being shows the kindness we have become known for. The interiors reflect a distinctive character of understated elegance while the positioning of each hotel offers different and unique surrounds. The generosity is abundant everything we do particularly in the exceptionally large rooms, the wholesome breakfasts, complimentary wireless internet, beverages and in-room mini-bars.

Rooms
The Elegant Suites are the epitome of what the Last Word stands for, classic elegance and decadent comfort cocooned in the sanctuary of an inordinately large room. There are two, one upstairs and one on ground level, both around 95m² or 1000 square feet in size and both with a separate lounge area for that extra relaxation. Room 5 has its own private patio which accesses the pool area and garden while room 8 overlooks the famous Constantia garden. Extra beds can be added for kids at an extra cost in this room class.
The four Superior Rooms are all on the ground floor and each has access to its own private patio which then leads on to the swimming pool and gardens. The rooms are generous and average at 45m² or 484 square feet in size. Each with its own character and nuances, no two are the same, but all are luxurious, and the perfect base from which to explore Cape Town. Bathrooms are large and have both a bath and separate shower.
There are two Pool Suites at Last Word Constantia and each has its own semi-private dipping pool and patio area. Although not interleading, the Pools Suites do share a common entrance and therefore could be used for a travelling family if required. Each Pool Suite has a bedroom area and a separate lounge area, each one with its own TV. The Pool Suites are 75m² or 800 square feet and have more than enough space should you wish to have a private romantic dinner on the patio around your pool. Extra beds can be added for kids at an extra cost in this room class.
The Family Suite consists of two rooms alongside each other, a parents room and a kids room, each with its own en-suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower. Off the parents room is a family lounge with TV and Nintendo Wii for the kids. At more than 100m², the entire family can stay comfortably without being on top of each other and as the suite is charged at a normal suite rate, in essence, the kids stay for free.

One of the great botanic gardens of the world.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is acclaimed as one of the great botanic gardens of the world. Few gardens can match the sheer grandeur of the setting of Kirstenbosch, against the eastern slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain. Home to a wide selection of indigenous plants, some are found only in South Africa.
Recognised as one of the top restaurants in the world.
This is one of South Africa’s most iconic and internationally acclaimed fine dining establishments.

Just 5 minutes from Last Word Constantia
Located in the beautiful Constantia Valley, with the spectacular icon of Table Mountain as its backdrop, and close proximity to tourist attractions and the airport, Steenberg Estate is a must-visit destination with a must-play golf course. When you arrive at the gates and drive past the vineyards and ancient oaks, you are entering a world that goes well beyond golf. Even if you’re spending just a few hours here, you can be sure that our aim is to make those hours memorable.
A natural wonder
Table Mountain, which is home to the richest, yet smallest floral kingdom on earth, was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2011. Whether it is covered in a blanket of moody clouds or showing off against a crisp cloudless blue sky, Table Mountain is always spectacular. Cape Town locals are pretty fond of the mountain that looms over their city, and with good reason!
Last Word Management
We have many guests who regard our property as their 'second home' in Cape Town.
It starts from the warm, genuine welcome from the heart that creates a 'home away from home feeling' that keeps our guests returning year after year.
This is because as a team we develop unique personal relationships with our many guests.
When our guests depart we all engage in hugs and fond farewells.
Let me take you by the hand,
Last word staff
Our mission simply: To make people happy. In lockdown we found a new purpose; To fill serene sanctuaries with kindness and lovely people. This is cosy living rather than hurried existence, a slowed down experience that emphasises personal happiness. And right in the middle of this purpose we forged our our singular core value - kindness – the very essence of heart candy and the seat of inner happiness. However, compassion is hard to come by in the real world. It’s often confined to close family or great friendship, rarely dished out in bucket loads by hotels. It is a rather elusive quality.
We realised that if we employed the right people (and we do), who showed amplified levels of kindness, with commensurate trust and confidence, the image of our brand would become hauntingly elusive.
We could become known as lovely people who look after lovely people and because lovely people attract one another this could form part of a self-sustaining alchemy, autocatalytic in that the combination of sanctuary, kindness and lovely people propels itself.
