About Camps Bay Retreat

A historical manor house in the most beautiful of settings, tucked away beside Camps Bay.

Set in an arboreal glen in the bustling seaside suburb of Camps Bay, Camps Bay Retreat offers a collection of different suites and rooms around the beautiful grounds. A historic manor house built in 1929 is at the heart of estate; externally, the architecture is grand and impressive, and internally, the classic décor will make you feel as if you’ve stumbled into an 18th-century explorers lounge. Accommodation-wise, choose from the classic rooms in the house itself, or one of the more modern suites in the Deck House. And then all that’s left to do is lounge in the garden, stroll to the beach or play a lazy game of tennis...

Something to think about

Something to think about

The restaurant is good, but not great, especially when compared to the plethora of eateries that Cape Town is famous for. Make the effort to take a taxi out and you won’t regret it!
