One word can sum up this marvellous property - Wow! After many trips to South Africa & over 18 different hotels, we finally stumbled across The Long Beach. The setting is simply stunning, so much so that all our plans of exploring the city & the Cape were put on hold to simply sit & stare at the amazing view.... more

A stunningly beautiful spot , right on the beach, made even nicer by the kindness and personal service of the people who work there. So many unexpected and wonderful touches, a selection of complimentary beverages always available in the room and the dining room, heated floors, fresh flowers, slippers and robe, and always smiles and great advice on what to... more

It couldnt really be as beautiful as it is on the web/in the brochure is what we were thinking as we were travelling to our first destination in South Africa, The Long Beach...but guess what....it was! A truly remarkable setting, standing on the terrace looking out towards the ocean with Table Mountain etc in the distance we were stunned. We... more

We arrived in Cape Town after travelling for close to 20 hours and were welcomed to Long Beach with such warmth. The Manager, Haylee, was amused by our request for tea rather than a declicious glass of wine and we understood why after tasting copious amounts of their very generous (and inclusive) not-so mini bar wine. We had never been... more

The Long Beach proudly displays their award for South Africa's leading beach hotel - and they deserve it! The location is exquisite. We literally walked out of a secure gate onto the beach. This stay was a treat for my 10-year old boys and they loved it. The staff were fantastic and made the boys feel special and welcome as... more

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon in June 2009 while exploring the cape area. Excellent quality and well run boutique property. Not sure whether to describe it as a hotel or a guest house. It is just a big house that all the guests share – but the owners don’t live there, so it doesn’t have that “guest... more

We stayed at the long beach after we stayed at the Franschhoek where we had an absolute wonderful experience. Nothing was wrong with this place, but our expectations were high after we had such great service from another last world hotel. Everything was average...the manager did not even bother showing us the features of the room, the breakfast was good... more

The Long Beach - situated on the edge of the beach at Kommetjie was a fabulous choice on our recent trip to the Western Cape. Our bedroom was beautifully appointed with an enormous bathroom and the views were of waves, surfers, whales and mountains towards Hout Bay. The scenery was stunning, the location was quiet and relaxing and the staff... more

We stayed at the Long Beach for 2 nights and had an wonderful, relaxing stay. The rooms are huge and beautifully decorated. A fully stocked bar and above average tea and coffee service in the room are all included in the rate. You walk out of your patio doors and can walk straight out onto the most beautiful beach. Breakfast... more

My husband and I stayed at The Long Beach for 4 nights in August. We are experienced travellers, selected this hotel very carefully, and booked months in advance. The hotel has a beautiful location and nice rooms, but it was a frustrating experience that has turned us off to The Last Word Resorts. Here are the things that their website... more

Management response from
TheLastWordRetreats, Management

With reference to the comments posted by Drer below regarding their stay at The Long Beach we are deeply concerned at the perception the The Last Word is in any way unconcerned about its guests and that it may have misled them either in correspondence or on its website. Here are the facts as raised by Drer - All 6...
