The Last Word Long Beach

Great location on Long Beach. Innovative, excellent cuisine. Friendly, attentive staff and well appointed large rooms. Lots of surfers right outside our room on the beach. Surfers called it the best place in the Cape Town area. Nice view of Table Mountain in the distance. Stayed three nights. Tours arranged by Last Word were wineries one day, including a visit to the oldest winery in South Africa, Groot Constancia, and horseback riding in the lowlands and along Long Beach. Thanks for a wonderful, relaxing stay!

We recently stayed at Last Word Long Beach for 3 nights and all we can say is that we want to go back again. Location is superb and accommodation spotless and extremely comfortable. Service is professional and very kind and food delicious. Definitely a place we strongly recommend.

The food was equally unforgettable, prepared with such love and care that each meal felt like a warm, personal gesture. Every dish was a delicious celebration of flavors, perfectly complementing the natural beauty around us. In the evenings, there was the sweetest touch—a thoughtful turndown service complete with bedtime stories about the animals in the bush. These little stories, left beside the bed, were a charming way to end each day and made me feel even closer to the incredible wildlife around us. The watering hole, situated right in front of you, gives the exhilarating illusion that nothing separates you from the wild. Of course, safety was always assured, but the closeness to nature was thrilling. When I first arrived, 15 elephants were gathered at the watering hole, right there before my eyes. And then there’s the hide—a unique experience that can’t be adequately described, only lived. Nestled close to the watering hole, it allows you to observe the elephants up close as they pass by for a drink. One particularly curious elephant even extended its trunk into the hide to take a whiff of us, which was absolutely exhilarating. Tataum, Jaco, Damian, John, Sam and Jodi thank you again for the best time!!

Last Word Long Beach is a hidden gem!!!!!!!!! From when you first check-in, your incredible experience begins with a warm welcome and a cold drink. The setting is sublime with amazing ocean views and also fantastic views across towards Chapmans Peak and Hout Bay. The rooms ae tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable and there's nothing quite like opening the shutter blinds in the morning and seeing the incredible views. The staff are attentive, helpful and friendly and will always go the extra mile to assist you. The meals are delicious and the portions generous! You can walk from the hotel to the beach and the walk along the beach is so special. We love this place and cannot wait to go back again!!!

Everything was average and not wat we expected. The breakfast was good but nothing special. The dinner is included and was very average. The fish dishes were also very average. The beach and location is nice. I would not go back there as it was rather expensive and very average. If you run such an establishment the attention to details from the staff and manager (we did not see one!) are key, and unfortunately failed to impress.

Perfection at its best. My husband and I spent 3 wonderful days at The Last Word and only wish we had booked for longer. As soon as we walked through the door we felt so relaxed. The place is stunning. Attention to detail is exceptional and the staff are so friendly, professional, warm and welcoming. The food and drinks are delicious too. As for the views (from all the rooms) well that takes your breath away. Beautiful white sand, aqua blue ocean staring back at you. If you are looking for that place look no further. One day we will return to this piece of heaven. To all the staff “a very sincere thank you” you are all doing a fantastic job.
