3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012 NEW

Yes it is a beautiful place, situated in an ideal natural environment, but the rest of the guests was not a priority when planning the spaces. From the rooms (suites) that are above the front desk in the main house, you hear everything that happens downstairs, including the noise of people eating breakfast. Attendance at front desk was normal, not... More

Dear Reviewer Thank you for taking the time in providing us with valued feedback. Earls Dyke Manor host our reception, public lounges and restaurant. Being a historic building dating back to 1929, can it be challenging with noise polution. All efforts are made to control the level of sound to our beautiful appointed suites in the Manor. Breakfast is served... More

Discrete and very attractive property, with exceptional service. For us, access to the beach was a plus. The children could swim, and my husbdand I gaze over the aquamarine ocean with white sandy beaches or go for evening strolls. Calm and Peace! Camps Bay is the place in the Mother City, especially for those who, like us, find the Waterfront... More

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was perfect. We arrived at around 11.00am and we immediately shown to our room by the Duty Manager who gave us a personal tour of the surroundings and the facilities. We stayed in Villa 12 and the Bathroom was as big as our Cabin on QM2 .The food was... More

Just back from a second stay at the Camps Bay Retreat. There will have to be a third time: it's wonderful. Two years ago I stayed in the Deck House. This time I was in the original and main building, Earls Dyke Manor, in Room 4 above the kitchen. It could be a disaster taking a room above a kitchen,... More

Spent a couple of nights here.Beautiful settings and relaxing views. Owners dogs roam unobtrusively around the hotel and were a delight to encounter! My only criticism was the lack of privacy in the hotel room, as the shower/bath facilities were not separate from the lounge/bed area. More

My partner took me here for a surprise weekend. It was just perfect from the start. The room was just stunning, we spend the afternoon in the spa, which was closed for only the two of us to use. We watch an amazing sunset and then my partner proposed. Just a perfect weekend. The only downside is that is a... More

This is the second time that we have stayed at The Camps Bay Retreat and again were not disappointed. Arriving on Boxing Day, The Retreat provided a wonderful quiet haven away from the huge crowds in Camps Bay. Delightful surroundings and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. The most delicious breakfast on The Terrace and a shame... More

My family spent six nights here over Christmas: we stayed in the main house and our accommodation was outstanding. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful, and the food was fantastic. The setting was beautiful and secluded - despite being five minutes' walk from the lively Camps Bay area. Anyone seeking a relaxing and calm break would be happy here.... More
