Feature destination
Shelley Point
Hotel, Spa and
Country Club
J
ust a 90-minute drive from Cape Town,
this exclusive and luxurious West Coast
4-star family retreat offers an extensive
host of amenities and activities for parents and children. Located on a private peninsula,
Shelley Point Hotel, Spa and Country Club is a
superb breakaway destination that lets you enjoy
several facilities while the kids are kept occupied.
The hotel boasts 88 elegantly decorated suites
with state-of-the-art amenities, spacious lounge
and a designer bathroom. The rooms cater for
two adults and two children who stay free if they
are under 12. With the kids in mind, the hotel offers a supervised play centre with age-appropriate indoor and outdoor activities.
Shelley Point also boasts the Crazy Crew Kids
Club, where children are entertained and looked
after within the secure private Peninsula Village.
As part of the club, facilities include indoor and
outdoor playing, arts and crafts, a doll's house,
trampoline, sandpit, toys and activities and, most
importantly, a child-minding service that's available on request.
An exciting new project that will soon be added
is a separate area especially for the older kids
aged 10 and up, which will include TV and arcade
games. The children’s facility will continue to be
upgraded during 2013. While the kids are burning energy, you can opt for some exercise too
– the hotel offers a gymnasium, tennis courts, a
bowling green and a challenging nine-hole links
golf course. For lazing around, there are also two
swimming pools with bars.
For a pamper session or some romance, visit the
Wellness Centre & Hydro Spa or take a leisurely
stroll to the beach. Treat the family to a great meal
at one of the hotel’s in-house restaurants or play a
few boardgames if the weather turns.
