Sea Five Boutique Hotel

Sea Five brings a dose of design-led glamour to Camps Bay, Cape Town’s most famous beach suburb, with contemporary interiors, a pool and the Twelve Apostles as a backdrop. You are moments from the sand, the palm-lined promenade and Camps Bay’s buzzing restaurant and sundowner scene.

It is a stylish pick for travellers who want to be at the centre of the Atlantic-seaboard beach life.

Of all the alternatives it is closest to CUBE on design, but the setting is livelier and pricier than CUBE’s intimate five-suite calm above Hout Bay, and it doesn’t include the complimentary guest smartphone or the personal, host-led travel planning that make CUBE feel so effortlessly looked after.
