An historic family-run boutique hotel on the slopes of Lions Head
Clarendon Fresnaye
The Clarendon Fresnaye, nestled along the scenic slopes of Lion’s Head, offers a perfect blend of luxury and family-friendly amenities in one of Cape Town’s most desirable suburbs.
This historic boutique hotel, once the residence of the Earl of Clarendon, provides a serene retreat that combines rich heritage with modern comforts. Its 16 beautifully appointed rooms are designed to accommodate families seeking a comfortable and memorable stay.
Families will find plenty to do both on the property and in the surrounding area. The hotel’s expansive gardens, lush with blooming bougainvillea, provide a safe space for children to play, while the two sparkling swimming pools offer hours of fun and relaxation. Parents can take advantage of in-house babysitting services, allowing for a worry-free evening out or a rejuvenating spa treatment.
The Clarendon Fresnaye is ideally located for exploring Cape Town’s top attractions. Just a short stroll away are the famous Clifton beaches and the Sea Point Promenade, perfect for family walks, bike rides, or even a refreshing dip in the ocean. A short drive brings you to the iconic Table Mountain, where families can hike or take the cable car to enjoy breathtaking views.
