The Westcliff

The Westcliff is a charming luxury retreat with landscaped gardens and a Mediterranean village atmosphere, the perfect place from which to savour Johannesburg – and to escape from it.

With its 9 villas, The Westcliff provides intimate settings which assure privacy and tranquillity, and superb comfort without the impersonality of large hotels.

The rooms, of a minimum 47 square meters, are individually designed and decorated with gorgeous features. Most have a private balcony overlooking the zoological gardens or one of the cobbled courtyards.

Situated in an exclusive suburb of Johannesburg, The Westcliff enjoys spectacular views over the city. It offers a special Business Wing with all the facilities for an office away from the office, as well as complimentary shuttle service to local shopping centres, office parks, and restaurants in the evenings.

La Belle Terrasse and Loggia features international cuisine with distinctively South African flair, in an elegant and traditional fine dining environment.

The Conservatory is the ideal venue for all-day light dining and refreshments, where you can enjoy the views across the elevated pool deck to Forest Town and the Zoological Gardens beyond.

With its informal atmosphere and cosy furnishing, not to mention the great selection of traditional cocktails and mixers, the Polo Bar is perfect for a before-dinner drink or a nightcap.
