Camps Bay Retreat

Camps Bay Retreat is a private nature reserve and hotel set on seven acres in Camps Bay, Cape Town. You stay here for the views of the forest, mountains, and ocean, and for the quiet of the reserve. The estate includes a spa, dining, and walking paths through the grounds.

The rooms are spread across several buildings, each with its own character. Some rooms have wood-fired hot tubs, others garden terraces or ocean outlooks. Families can stay in suites with connecting rooms, and pets are welcome in designated rooms.

The spa offers treatments rooted in nature, including massages and facials. Dining is available at Bella’s Restaurant, which serves seasonal menus with local produce. The estate’s walking paths lead through indigenous gardens and past streams, with the Atlantic Ocean always in view.

The retreat is a short drive from Camps Bay Beach, where you can swim or watch the sunset. The Twelve Apostles mountain range rises behind the estate, framing the views.
