“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.”

Camps Bay Retreat is often praised for its scenic location featuring lush gardens and unique walking trails, even a hanging bridge. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, the 24/7 security, and the convenience of being close to Camps Bay Tidal Pool, which is ideal for families with children.

underwhelming experience at the hotel

the hotel looks nice at first. but, the breakfast was ordinary. the coffee tasted weak and the selection felt very limited. also, my room faced what seemed like a service area. there was constant noise from early morning, and it really disrupted the peace. a quiet room it was not,

The hotel's location is scenic, nestled among lush gardens. The walk to the ocean was definitely a highlight.
I encountered significant issues with service. I asked for coffee and it arrived an hour later. The receptionists seemed preoccupied with their phones, and no one assisted me with my bags at checkout.
