Set on Clifton 4th Beach (the number 1 family beach in Cape Town), with Lion’s Head as a backdrop, you’ll find Bungalow 52, the “Love Shack”.

Designed by award-winning architects, this artfully curated bungalow offers three levels so that families and friends can enjoy holidays together – teenagers in the downstairs media room, and adults upstairs with some space to themselves.

Enjoy a surf in the icy Atlantic Ocean or relax indoors and spin vinyls on the turntable. Take in the Scandi/retro-funk design ethos and the bold contemporary art and craft collection where quirky and sardonic meet. Topless red-lipsticked mermaids adorn cupboard fronts and a ceramic vase, while a pair of bronze hares relaxes in the style of Michelangelo’s Pieta.

Index Hotels have taken on the management of Bungalow 52 with the challenge of creating a unified portfolio for the owners; bringing together the innovative and unique hospitality products with a definitive golden thread of wine. Index provides turnkey management, operating systems, sales and marketing to Bungalow 52.
