ALTA BAY
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
in Higgovale, Cape Town,
Western Cape, South Africa
Alta Bay, located in Higgovale, the most up-market suburb of the City Bowl,
is set high on the slopes of Table Mountain, with beautiful views over Table Bay
and the City, yet only 2 km away from most of Cape Town's attractions including
the Waterfront, beaches and within walking distance of Kloof Street with its
many restaurants and coffee shops. Surrounded by a lush native garden, Alta Bay
combines understated luxury and urban chic with a laid-back and retreat
atmosphere.
Alta Bay, previously a 5-star boutique hotel has recently been converted into a
4-star B&B with 4 large luxury units. Each unit has a separate entrance, a
private outside terrace and still offers all the 5-star facilities. This Tuscan
house is built on separate levels with a great sense of space and light
throughout and is designed in a contemporary style with bespoke furniture
handcrafted locally.
The Loft (70 m) and the Bay Suite (42 m) offer spectacular views of the sea and
city while the Garden Room (28 m²) and the Fountain Room (32 m²) below have the
benefit of the shaded lush garden. The Loft has a bedroom on the mezzanine
floor, a bathroom with bath & shower and a sleeper couch which can accommodate a
3rd adult or 2 children.
