Compass House Boutique Hotel in 8005, open January – March, October.

Compass House sits on Kloof Road with direct Atlantic views and accommodates 20-150 guests across its rooms and event spaces, meaning you won't need to source external lodging for your entire party.

This 4.6-star boutique hotel handles logistics efficiently, ceremonies on the terrace, receptions in climate-controlled spaces, and guests sleeping upstairs eliminates vendor coordination headaches.

The location in Bantry Bay puts you 15 minutes from Cape Town's city center and close to scenic coastal drives for photography.

Wow, this boutique hotel is beautiful! All the staff were so lovely and friendly and Jarrod and Johan made us feel so welcome. The breakfast was excellent, the selection of fresh fruit was amazing and the cooked breakfast was delicious.
