THE SOUTHERN RIGHT HOTEL:

The rejuvenation of this Victorian beach hotel honours the THE SOUTHERN RIGHT HOTEL:

The rejuvenation of this Victorian beach hotel honours the Southern Right whales that migrate to our shores every year. This 100-year-old fully restored hotel is the right spot for sighting whales and is the gateway to the Cape Point Route.

Renovations were designed to restore the original façade of the building and bring the damaged woodwork back to it’s former glory. The fresh face of the Southern Right Hotel has maintained the traditional tones and period features of a bygone era.

We’ve taken the best of the past into the future.
The intertwining of Victorian history and contemporary requirements of the modern traveller have been worked into the rejuvenation of the Southern Right Hotel. The team has developed their love of history, the environment, geography and the pleasure of living in their commitment to creating a venue that feels “Just Right”.
