I was impressed from the moment I arrived at this hideaway only 5 km from Cape Town. The 1920's mansion built by a german family is nestled at the edge of the Lion's Head forest. One of my favourite rooms in the world in any house is the library here, packed with art and books. The staff made me feel... More

There can be no doubt that this place has beautiful grounds and that the deck houses are rather unique, but this place just missed the mark for the price point and sadly, it all amounted to the service. While some members of the staff really did try to help, when you pay this much for accommodations, you expect it to... More

I booked the Camps Bay Retreat after reading previous Trip-advisor Reviews, and can verify that they were all on target. This is a beautiful hotel. The setting is amazing, the views stunning, the room I was in tasteful and the dogs are a delight. From arrival to departure, the service was friendly and professional. I only ate breakfast in the...

We loved Camps Bay Retreat. Everything about it. The location, the room, the food, the attentive staff (thanks Sean and Jenny), the deck house, the tennis court, the dogs. All great. Its just so subtle the 5 star influence. We were there on our honeymoon and we wouldn't be used to 5 star hotels but one morning we were playing... More

A top class small hotel that's just a bit different. We stayed in the deck house which is accessed via a very sturdy rope bridge. The room was large and very modern which we loved. One minor irritation is the location of the light switches around on the side of the bed and out of sight. This meant trips to... More

Beautiful, completely relaxing hotel in wonderful surroundings just beside one of the best cities on earth. Doesn't get better than this. Young folks will like the Deck House and Villa rooms just a little less young folks might prefer the manor.
