“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.”

underwhelming experience at the hotel

ordinary breakfast constant noise
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,

Inconsistent Service Hampers Potential

scenic walk lush gardens slow service unattended receptionists
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.
