“Camps Bay Retreat feels wonderfully secluded, cradled within its own nature reserve, yet it's a stroll away from Camps Bay itself. The forest spa pods, with their private hot tubs, struck me as particularly special, a place to fully disconnect. This boutique hotel emphasizes personalized service alongside the charm of its historic manor house.”
