CLIFTON FOURTH C L I F TON, AT L A N T IC SE A BOA R D

Coastal hideaway!

How to describe Clifton Fourth, the sublime beach bungalow situated right on Cape Town’s very best beach? Laid-back?

Check. Sophisticated? Check. Right on the beach? Check.

Central to city living? Check. Private? Check. Luxurious?

Double-check. Playful? Totally! When we kicked off our shoes as we walked in the front door it was like stepping onto the set of a glamorous island-style movie. Except it was all ours! The kids immediately scattered: the tweens some 10 steps away to muscle their way into the beach volleyball match that was happening on the white sands on our doorstep and to jump into the (frankly icy – judging by their shrieks) Atlantic waves, while the teens commandeered the absolutely fabulous media room. As they got stuck into trying out the retro vinyl options on the Technics 1200 turntable, my husband and I struck the pose we were to maintain for much of our holiday: prone on the loungers beside the heated pool, cocktail in hand and incredible beach views in front. Bliss!
