The Clarendon Fresnaye

Sophistication with world-class service

Cradled along the slopes of Lions Head, in the idyllic suburb of Fresnaye, it caters to families, honeymooners, and the exclusive traveler who wants to enjoy the best of Cape Town. A wonderful oasis of rich green lawns and sparkling swimming pools, set in a tranquil paradise against the backdrop of a mass of pink bougainvillea.

Our History

The Clarendon holds a rich history, having once been owned by the Earl of Clarendon, the Governor of The Cape, who played a significant role in the region’s development during his tenure. As a heritage building, this family-run boutique hotel boasts 16 luxurious bedrooms, each beautifully designed to reflect both comfort and elegance, and was established in 1996 by the present owner, who is dedicated to preserving its unique charm and character.

Rooms

The Clarendon Fresnaye features décor infused with traditional fabrics, thoughtfully designed to add a distinctive modern touch. Rich textiles in shades of opulent color create an inviting atmosphere, beautifully reflecting the vibrant accents of our exotic city and enhancing the overall experience of our guests.

Facilities

An opulent and expansive garden with two sparkling swimming pools. Within walking distance to the world-famous Clifton beaches, and Sea Point Promenade for strolling, swimming, or renting bikes and e-scooters. Just a 10-minute drive to hike Lion’s Head or Table Mountain. In-house babysitting and spa treatments are available upon request.

We stayed at the Clarendon Fresnaye and it was a wonderful experience! The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was so nice and accommodating and made us feel at home.
