UPDATE: The Airbnb listing for 21 Nettleton has been updated, with prices starting from R130 000 a night…
In Cape Town, saying you live on Nettleton Road brings with it massive bragging rights.
It features consistently on lists of South Africa’s most expensive streets and suburbs, and is lined with properties that sometimes hit the market for upwards of R100 million.
But hey, maybe you just want to live like a king for a short-term stay in Clifton, in which case the Airbnb listing for 21 Nettleton may be of interest.
You’ll have to fork out a cool R130 000 a night, and there’s a two-night minimum stay.
But hey, for us dreamers, money is no object:
A waterfall cascading past boulders into the pool sets a soothing soundtrack at this boutique hotel perched high above Clifton Bay.
Read on a lounger set against the lush hillside while your chef and butler work the kitchen, then walk a winding red-carpet staircase past statues and oil paintings to your suite for tea or cocktails.
A driver can whisk you to Clifton or Camps Bay beaches in minutes.
Pretty nice, right?
There are six double en-suite bedrooms, and as you may have guessed from the description above, the rental comes with housekeeping, airport transfers, a chef, a butler, and a driver.
All Airbnb Luxe bookings also come with start-to-finish trip planning, a 300+ point inspection to make sure the property is in pristine condition, and on-trip care, for any question, at any hour.
Some more snaps of the interior:
There’s a 100% chance I’m pretending to play a Billy Joel tune whilst sat at that piano.
OK, the look around was fun, but let’s get back in touch with reality.
