If not, it is certainly amongst the Top 10. Halfway down the Cape Peninsula at Kommetjie, the Last Word looks out across Long Beach to Chapmans Peak, Hout Bay and then Table Mountain in the distance. Magnificent! This is an elegantly appointed small boutique hotel directly on the appropriately named long sandy beach and is the ideal retreat from the... More

I hesitate to write a review about this gem! Words do no justice to it. The beach is where your room stops. Surfers fill the sea in front of you. The beach is miles long and then there is the view of the mountains across the bay. The rooms are light and very good. breakfasts are prepared with feeling and... More

I was fortunate enough to have stayed at this property recently and just loved it! Its a small luxurious boutique style property, literally on the beach. One can see that it was someones beach home, that has been converted into a small hotel. The service is excellent & attentive, yet still giving you the space you need. One really does... More

The Last Word Group really knows how to make a holiday special. We decided that after Franschhoek we would like to see the sea so booked for just one night- that was a mistake we should have stayed longer. The staff were lovely and our room (ground floor) was perfect, even with a view of the back of Table mountain.... More

This boutique hotel has the most fantastic location on Long Beach in Kommetjie - you can practically fall onto the beach. The views from the upper suites are wonderful - across the beach and sea back towards Hout Bay. The rooms are well appointed and the staff offer warm hospitality. They went out of their way to make my husband... More

What a wonderful place! Tucked away off the coastal road south of Chapman's Peak, with a breathtaking vista back toward Hout Bay and mountains. The short steps from parked car, through reception area and onto the balcony open up one of the finest ocean and mountain views we’ve ever enjoyed. Over the 3-4 days of our stay, we never came...

The Last Word Long Beach is a very cozy BnB, with lovely views and outdoor seating on the water. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The rooms are very nice but I think the common area could be a bit nicer for the price. I still highly recommend due to the overall experience.
