For the start of our adventure, we had four nights in Cape
Town. When we left the capital for our twelve day road trip along the garden
route, one of the things I was sad to leave was our hotel. Less of a hotel
actually and more of boutique B&B set in some lush surroundings, this is
one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in.

We stayed at the Camps
Bay Retreat, in the laid back beach area of Camps Bay, which we were informed, numerous times, that Camps Bay was the area for the rich and famous!

As a location to stay in in Cape Town, I would definitely
recommend here over the V&A waterfront or the city centre. Retreating to
the hotel after a day exploring, the sound of the sea and the gorgeous back
drop is worth staying in the area for.
Camps Bay Retreat
is dubbed as a ‘private nature reserve’ with the private deck houses (not
rooms) dotted about the 4 hectare resort amongst the pools, gardens, verandas
and flowers. My favourite part of this hotel? The rope bridge you have to cross
to get to the rooms! I felt like I was already of safari!
The hotel boasts a private spa area, tennis courts and a
library/ lounge area, with the kind of décor to make you feel like you’ve
stepped in time a bit.
The sister hotel is on the Camps Bay beach and much larger.
Seeing as you are welcome to use the gym, pool and other facilities there, I
would recommend staying here for the quietness and intimacy and getting the
complimentary lift (it’s a porsche by the way) to the hotel.

...perfect for relaxing with some bubbly!!! |
Meals are served on the veranda of this gorgeous converted
stately home, overlooking the gardens and the sea, a perfect tranquil spot. We
arrived on our first night just in time to make sunset, watching the haze of
colours whilst eating amazing food, was breath taking. On our last day, whilst
having possible the fluffiest pancakes I have ever tasted, we saw a massive
shoal of dolphins playing in the sea!

If you are staying in Cape Town, you have to stay here!!!
