Camissa House

About Camissa House

Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain, this boutique hotel makes the perfect city escape.

Practically on the slopes of Table Mountain, this brand new and oh-so-artsy spot couldn't have picked a better location - with incredible views and an interior to match. Paying homage to the Khoi people who called this area home, Camissa means 'place of sweet water' and the name is just the beginning of their love of nature, and the flora of the Cape is infused into every design choice. With endless views of the beautiful city and its natural wonders (enjoy them from the rooftop bar), Camissa House is Oranjezicht's new prodigy.

Property details

The property

From the simplistic exterior, which contrasts so well with the palette of colours that fills each room, Camissa House is the epitome of natural charm. Elegant furnishings are a pop of colour against the charcoal feature walls, creating a truly plush feel. The gleaming bar leads through to a cosy fireplace lounge, and let's not forget the deep blue pool that mirrors the classic Cape aesthetic. Every inch of Camissa House is designed for comfort and it's a true feast for the eyes.

The rooms

Camissa House gives boutique a new meaning and the hotel has just 8 unique rooms, including 3 Luxury Terrace rooms. Every colour scheme is available, from mustard-coloured aloes to pastel proteas, and the hummingbird murals that perch in the blue room. Filled with natural light, all rooms are spacious and comfortable, and include dressing gowns, heated towel rails and a 24-hour butler service. P.S. The showers are massive and that's never a bad thing.

Activities

The first choice is, of course, to enjoy a hike up one of Cape Town's many peaks like Lion's Head, a local favourite. You can even go the whole hog and make the beautiful trek up Table Mountain itself (or opt for the cable car!). Long Street is minutes away, where you'll find art galleries, fun shopping spots and a laundry list of fantastic dining options. Other top choices include a show at the Baxter, beach-hopping or the worthwhile District 6 Museum.

Why we love it

The aesthetics are off the charts, from the show-stopping interior to the backdrop of Table Mountain.

Insiders Tip

Make use of Camissa's many helpful additions including a wake-up service, free private parking, an airport shuttle and dinner transfers anywhere within a 10 km radius.

Something to think about

While the beach is only 15 minutes away, if you're looking for true-blue sea views, Camissa House might not be the one to go for.
