Overview
Perched on the hillside in one of Cape Town’s most exclusive residential districts, Les Cascades de Bantry Bay is an elegant home-from-home. With Lion's Head, one of Cape Town’s formative mountains, towering above and the sweeping beaches and crashing waves of the Atlantic Seaboard below, this is a fabulous city spot.
Rooms are divided between the ‘main lodge’ and ‘villa’ below. The six spacious and sophisticated en-suite rooms in the Main Lodge are stunning, with private sundecks and two shared infinity swimming pools seeming to cascading down the steep hillside between the hotel levels. The Villa at properties lowest point has its own private pool and consists of four comfortable rooms radiating from a small central lounge/dining area. The décor is contemporary Balinese: dark stained wood, Indian slate terraces, black lined pools, lattice shutters, candle-filled lanterns, ivory parasols and earthy hues in the furnishings. Combined with comfortable colonial furniture, high quality contemporary art and distinctive object d’art, the lodge is a stylish and relaxed place to stay.
Luc and Els, the European owners of Les Cascades make hospitable hosts. Els is a fantastic chef and creates lavish meals. Sumptuous poolside breakfasts make a great start to a day exploring Cape Town, whilst sundowners and four-course dinners on the wide terrace afford good food to be enjoyed along with sweeping sea views. In winter, when warmth and intimacy are de rigueur, alfresco dining is swapped for cosy fireside suppers. The lively conversation and family welcome remain constant at all times.
