Regarded as one of the most enviable stretches of sand and surf in Cape Town, between the pockets of Bantry Bay and Camps Bay, the gilt-edged cliffs of Clifton, cascade down into perfect little coves that cocoon the shoreline. Clusters of beautiful beach bungalows meet each other and disperse down narrow, winding pathways that branch out like a maze at a miniature wonderland. Tucked away at the end of the very last lane, immediately upon Clifton 3rd Beach, The White House opens its pristine white doors and beckons you in to an oasis of purity, serenity and humility. Bold as the statement might appear on arrival, the crisp white canvas is a humble sentiment of recognition, of all that’s going on around it. It implores you to drape the colours of your vivacious holiday self – that’s already getting very excited about the breathtaking view of the ocean – against its gentle backdrop.
