Shaded spots go early at Cape Town's crowded Camps Bay, where locals picnic and play in the strong Atlantic waves. Look for the flagged bathing areas for safer swims for all the family. Festive cafes sit adjacent to the sands, which are dramatically set at the foot of the Twelve Apostles mountains.

We, a German couple (35 & 32 yrs), stayed for three nights at African Vibes Camps Bay and we absolutely loved the place! Our room was beautifully decorated and the bed was very cosy. The view from the terrace is truly stunning, in particular the sunset view which is just out-of-this-world - of course, only if weather permits. Andre, the owner, and his buddy Ali are really nice fellas and I enjoyed spending time with them. I really appreciated those social interactions which made our time there not anonymous but rather like spending time at a friend's place. They were also very helpful with logistical issues and Andre was really accommating regarding a change of our booking situation. Unfortunately, the weather was quite changeable when we were there (which is not surprising for this time of the year) so we were not able to leverage the full potential of African Vibes Camps Bay. I imagine that it must be even better during the warmer months when perfect sunset views are almost guaranteed every evening :) But, on the bright side, this is one more incentive to stay at African Vibes Camps Bay once more during our next trip to Cape Town - the sooner, the better :) Thanks again to Andre for having us!

Houghton View is perfectly appointed on the sea-side slopes of Camps Bay and offers breath-taking 180' sea vistas. This modern 5 bedroomed villa combines ultra-chic sophistication with classical elegance, and truly offers it all for the discerning guest. The villa's four levels are connected by a free floating staircase and each floor also enjoys lift access. Both the stairs and the lift offers access directly from the basement and private garage area. A private and spacious off the road parking garage offers ample parking and provides convenient and safe access to the villa. Often frequented by A-listed jet-setters, the villa offers business and leisure guests the opportunity of enjoying world class accommodation that surpasses top international holiday villa standards. The establishment is unique in that it not only offers the option of hiring the entire villa but also enables guests to hire individual suites for shorter stays.
We had the Houghton View Guest House booked for 4 nights stay in May 2022, however we had to cancel our stay due to personal circumstances (cancelled within refund period). It was impossible to get in touch with the manager, despite numerous e-mails, phone calls, messages left, there was no communication back in relation to our refund. On one occasion when I managed to speak to the manager, he reassured that I will be refunded, however money never appeared. After chasing, almost for two months with no success and no reply, booking.com refunded our stay. Very poor customer service and communication.

Sea Five, ideally situated in Camps Bay, adds its unique style to Cape Town’s upmarket tourist offering. Capitalising on an outstanding location, just 300 metres from South Africa’s most glamorous beach, The Sea Five offers seven exclusive ensuite rooms with clear, sweeping mountain and sea views.Guests can look forward to the rare treat of sleeping between the sheets of 100% pure Italian linen and waking up to the scent of fresh breads and croissants. There’s the harmony of a garden redolent with mandarin, lemon, lavender and rosemary or the sociability of a large blue pool and gorgeous bar.
What an amazing place to stay. From the moment we arrived the service we received could not be faulted. Room was wonderful and spacious with a mountain view, delux toiletries and dressing gown and slippers. Mini bar included and restocked every day. Breakfast delicious with fresh fruit, cereal, croissants, and a cooked breakfast made to order. Staff were friendly and unobtrusive. Location was perfect with restaurants and beach a few minutes stroll. Fabulous.

Azamare is situated in picturesque Camps Bay surrounded by the Twelve Apostle Mountains, Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side." Here you will find the best sea views and sunsets over the ocean. Experience superb hospitality and comfortable Camps Bay accommodation. We define our accommodation and suites through exceptional service, quality facilities and a tranquil environment in an opulent setting with luxurious finishes.
Recommended by our travel agents. Lovely location. Easy to access central Cape Town and all of the major attractions via the Hop On / Hop Off buses. Camps Bay very buzzy and great for restaurants and bars. Azamare was terrific - very pleasant staff, very nice room with balcony overlooking the sea, great breakfasts. Can't recommend it too highly.

What makes this holiday home so unique is that there is no other villa so large situated so close to the beach and restaurants and located in a quiet lane. Situated in a leafy cul de sac, only 100 meters from Camps Bay beach, Camps Bay Village with beachfront shops, trendy cafés, cocktail bars and famous restaurants is a short stroll away. The Blinkwater stream runs in front of the house originating on the top of Table Mountain. After the rain, the gushing of the stream contends with the sounds of the waves breaking on the beach. This Camps Bay house has elegantly decorated bedrooms, all en suite, boasting a balcony each. The three terraces offer the perfect vantage point from which to sip sundowners and indulge the senses with many spectacular sunsets, enjoy a game of pool, soak up the sun beside the swimming pool, take a leisurely swim and just unwind. The buzzing nightlife of cosmopolitan Camps Bay is a minute away. This beachside villa overlooks the famous palm fringed Camps Bay beaches and Atlantic ocean with breathtaking views of the Lions Head mountain peak. Balfour Place offers the best of all worlds, an unforgettable view, a private swimming pool and a short stroll from shops, restaurants and the beach. Simply magnificent is the only way to describe it.
The views were definitely a highlight of this property, conveniently located with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel

The Royal Boutique Hotel has 11 rooms. Each room holds its own African culture with a mixture of Moroccan and Asian artifacts. All the rooms are sea-facing, comfortable with en-suite bathrooms. Each individual suite at the hotel offers you the luxury of relaxing in your room and watching a movie of your choice from your own personalized Netflix.
Good location, breakfast is also nice. However, their Instagram account and website suggest that it’s super stylish and well maintained, while it’s merely due to very strong filters and photoshop app. Also there is a huge TV in the main area which shows BBC 24/7. I am on vacation, to enjoy the sun, nature, the beach and find peace. While the hotel decided to constantly confront me with pictures of the Ukraine war. I don’t visit a hotel in Cape Town to watch the news. I think no one does. Thus two major Tipps for improvement: 1) tone down with your pic filters, will prevent guest dissapintment and 2) remove that tv.

The Fairways on the Bay is a contemporary boutique hotel offering 8 elegantly styled and comfortable suites. The hotel is perfectly situated 100 meters from the beachfront of Cape Town's trendy suburb, Camps Bays and within walking distance to the local restaurants, bars and shops. The 8 luxury rooms are all en-suite, stylishly furnished with king-size beds or twin beds on request and a spacious sitting area. Modern room amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, individually controlled air-conditioning and heating, bar fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and bathroom amenities.

Definitely not up to standard - broken lampshades and cupboards, bed in need of replacement, couldn't fit in the shower, no breakfast on site, very little communication with guests. Obviously used a good photographer.
