The Claremont Boutique Hotel
In 1928, English entrepreneur Frederick Henry Dumas Man commissioned Magdalena Gertrude Sauer, one of South Africa’s first female architects, to design a Cape Town residence that blended European refinement with Cape heritage. The result was “The Andros”, a stately Cape Dutch Revival manor whose gables, sash windows, and timber floors reflected the spirit of its time.Nearly a century later, this residence has been reimagined as The Claremont Boutique Hotel, a 15-room hideaway in the leafy suburb of Claremont. Now part of the Sabi Sabi Collection, it carries forward a legacy of heritage, authenticity, and warm South African hospitality. Importantly, it also marks the Collection’s first expansion beyond the bushveld, extending its philosophy of place and empathy from the Sabi Sabi Lodges in the Kruger area to Cape Town. Perfectly positioned beneath the famed Table Mountain, and close to the Constantia Winelands and the vibrant Atlantic Seaboard, The Claremont creates a seamless city-and-safari journey.

The basics
Why, when, and where.
Why
Cape Town, often referred to as the “Mother City” of South Africa, is renowned for it's breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant lifestyle. Commanded by the iconic Table Mountain, the city offers award-winning wineries, colourful neighbourhoods such as Bo-Kaap, and a wealth of adventure activities, including hiking, shark cage diving, and encounters with seals, whales, and African penguins. With beautiful beaches, a lively waterfront, and a thriving culinary scene, Cape Town is one of the world’s most captivating destinations.
When
Cape Town can be enjoyed year-round
- Summer (mid-December to February): Warm and sunny, the famous south-easterly “Cape Doctor” wind can be strong. Peak tourist season is mid-December to early January.
- Autumn (March–May): Still warm, with calmer winds in April and spectacular sunsets, this is ideal for sightseeing and photography.
- Winter (June–August): The wet season brings sunny days alternating with light rain. Whale watching along the coast is at its best from June to November.
- Spring (September–November): Mild temperatures, blooming wildflowers, and continued whale-spotting opportunities make this a particularly delightful time to visit.
Where
Cultural Highlights
- Bo-Kaap: Famous for its brightly coloured houses and the Bo-Kaap Museum, which explores the history of the Cape Malay community.
- V&A Waterfront: A bustling harbour offering restaurants, shops, craft markets, the Two Oceans Aquarium, and ferries to Robben Island.
Natural Wonders:
- Table Mountain National Park: Visitors can reach the summit by cableway or hike to enjoy panoramic views over the city, waterfront, Robben Island, and the Cape Peninsula.
- Cape Peninsula Route: Highlights include Boulders Beach (African penguins), Cape Point, and the Cape of Good Hope.
Wine and Culinary Experiences
- Cape Winelands: Stellenbosch, Constantia, Franschhoek, Paarl, Tulbagh, and Wellington offer renowned wineries and gourmet dining in historic towns and farm estates.
Nearby Adventures
- Hermanus: Famous for southern right whale watching (June–November) and a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, abseiling, treetop tours, and quad biking. Shark cage diving is available nearby in Gansbaai.
