Stay

Lagoon Beach Hotel

In Milnerton, close to Bloubergstrand, Lagoon Beach Hotel trades a City Bowl or Atlantic Seaboard location for direct beachfront access and one of the best-value Table Mountain views in the city.

Updated 8 August 2026 · Part of the Stay guide

Location

Milnerton sits north of the city across Table Bay, close to Bloubergstrand — which means rooms facing the water get a version of that famous wide Table Mountain panorama, at generally lower rates than equivalent views from the Atlantic Seaboard.

Style

More relaxed and less formal than the city's grand hotels, with direct beach access being the main draw. It suits travellers who want a beachfront stay without City Bowl or Camps Bay pricing.

Who it suits

Good for travellers with a rental car who don't mind a 20–30 minute drive into the city for sightseeing, in exchange for a genuine beachfront stay and that classic mountain view. Less convenient for those without a car who want to walk to restaurants and attractions.

Note: Amenities, room categories and current rates change over time — confirm current details directly with the hotel or your booking platform before reserving.
