Interact with African Penguins - The beautiful Boulders Beach is one of Cape Town’s most visited beaches and the only place in the world where you get close to African Penguins. In 1982 a couple of these little crowd-pleasers settled on the soft white sand between the large granite boulders that protect the beach from wind and large, stormy waves, and currently the population is estimated between 2,000 and 3,000 birds.
A world class winery by the sea - A unique farm in Noordhoek where vines are lazily nestled between mountains and ocean. Cool breezes from the sea make for a slow growing season, with a late harvest that results in a truly unique Sauvignon Blanc that is recognised across the globe for it’s rich minerality, structure and tone. Picnics on the lawn and evening wine tastings are both a great way to experience this stunning location.
5 star dining in a working harbour - Situated on the water’s edge in the picturesque harbour of Kalk Bay, this branch boasts exquisite views of the working harbour, False Bay and the Hottentots Mountain Range. Harbour House Kalk Bay specialises in corporate functions, tour groups and wedding receptions – offering world-class cuisine and wine, beautiful décor and friendly, professional service.
One of only a few left - The winding road that slithers along the Atlantic coastline leading to Kommetjie has been described as a snake like drive. This curving coastal carriageway leads to Slangkop (Snake head) Lighthouse which has been burning brightly since 1914, becoming fully automated in 1979. The tower's light shimmers 33 nautical miles out to sea from its 33 M circular construction.
Right in front of the hotel - Get out the boards and enjoy the break at one of Cape Town's favourite surf spots.
Cape Town's best setting for an intimate dinner - Enjoy a seafood feast overlooking the ocean after an exciting day on the beach. Our dinner menu was designed especially for The Last Word Long Beach in order to highlight the tranquility, beauty and freshness of its surrounds.

Last Word Management
I've been at Last Word Long Beach for over ten years now and worked in many different positions understanding all the different characteristics that make this 5 star beach house a place guests want to return to every time they are in Cape Town.
It's because of these guests and our team that we have been awarded 7th best hotel in Africa by Conde Nast Readers awards.
Come join us at the beach and we'll make sure you have the most relaxing getaway this city has to offer.
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.
