9Telegraph expert rating
Right beside Cape Town’s penguin colony, this nine-room B&B offers direct access to one of the city’s prettiest beaches and best places to swim. Inside it is luxuriously appointed, with a relaxed atmosphere, and the view across the ocean to the bay’s mountainous embrace is a show-stopper.
