Johannesburg & Gauteng , South Africa
Located in one of Johannesburg's most exclusive suburbs and situated on an enclosed private estate, The Westcliff benefits from its hillside setting with cascading, sculpted gardens and magnificent views. Elegant rooms and suites evoke a bygone era of leisure and refinement in one of the world's most vibrant cities.
All of The Westcliff's 115 spacious bedrooms are individually furnished and provided with fully-appointed, luxurious en suite bathrooms. The rooms offer total privacy and most have private balconies with spectacular views overlooking the zoological gardens or one of the estate's charming cobbled courtyards.
The Westcliff has gained an enviable reputation for its cuisine in La Belle Terrasse, offering a relaxed atmosphere and superb service. Afternoon tea in the conservatory or a sundowner in the fashionable Polo Lounge is a must. Cool off in one of the two heated swimming pools or, for total relaxation, visit the new Botanica Spa Suites for a variety of indulgent body treatments. The manicured gardens of the Westcliff offer a sanctuary within which to relax and enjoy its hillside views.
October to May is the best time to visit the Cape. Game viewing is better during the drier months of April to September. The wildflower season is generally from mid August to mid September. The whale watching season runs from June to November.
