This distinguished mansion oasis overlooking the sea in upscale Bantry Bay is a 15-minute drive west of Cape Town. Once the home of a shipping magnate, the Edwardian-style residence has been transformed into a gracious 13-room hotel. Most of the accommodations open onto private verandas with views of the sea. Adjacent to the main building lies a three-bedroom and a five-bedroom villa that both come with a private pool and a chef, large entertainment areas and complimentary wine tastings. Art and antiques decorate the parlor and library, while the whiskey bar is trimmed in rich leather and polished woods. Amenities at the hotel include a jewelry boutique, a gym, spa facilities, a heated freshwater lap pool, trendy BAR ROC and a formal dining room that serves delicious Cape and European cuisine.
