We had a room in the manor house which was really nice, a few gripes was that it's a bit noisy near the tennis and you have to keep all the curtains closed due to the outside lighting, our tv had to be reset a few time and the bed was a bit uncomfortable. However, the actual manor house is beautiful with a glorious view. You can eat outside to enjoy the view, the food is very good also, staff friendly.

Manor has a Old World charm. Room was clean, large and well thought out. Staff were extremely helpful when called upon. Allowed us to relax and explore Camps Bay easily with a short drive from location. Grounds are well kept and offer quiet. View of water from the grounds is great while enjoying a drink. Enjoyed the stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Loved it!

What a cool and unique hotel concept! A beautiful, old building makes up the core of the resort, with several newer houses around it that have been converted to hotel rooms. Multiple pools, nature paths, a pickle ball court... there's something for everyone. Plus, it's a very quick walk down to the beach!

It was very close to beaches. Property had many magical gardens & wood-burning hot tubs throughout the gardens that U can reserve… Absolutely magical & very friendly staff. They brought lots of bottled water to my room. The DECOR was stunning!! I took lots of photos of each of the sitting rooms. Beach/ Ocean views throughout the RETREAT… Amazing!!

Beautiful property but breakfast needs attention!

Camps Bay Retreat is beautiful, we loved our stay, especially with having a wood fired hot tub. The breakfast was extremely disappointing with no continental buffet and many options not available on the small menu (avo, english muffin, tomatoes). We were also the last to order a coffee as there wasn't enough milk (this was at 08h30am in the morning). For a 5 star establishment, the breakfast is rated 3/10. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

This is a beautiful location, the stunning view is the star and the staff are very pleasant and polite too. We had a number of small issues though with our room’s hot water and heating. Meaning we had to move room and had issues with the new room once in it. The staff did their best to help as they always seemed to do and they ended up resolved so it wasn’t the end of the world. We enjoyed the breakfast and found the meals perfectly adequate. We loved the old colonial style of the decorations and the local neighbourhood of Camps bay and the beautiful little pools everywhere and the stunning draw bridge. The padel tennis court was a nice touch. Overall the place feels nearly luxury but not yet quite there. This is not because of lack of effort. The staff are really great. With a few polishes and amendments to the overall standard this place would be of the first class - it was a very good experience just not a great one.
