Camps Bay Retreat is a boutique hotel at 7 Chilworth Road in the Glen, the wooded pocket of Camps Bay that runs up towards Kloof Nek. The operator describes the property as spread across three buildings — Earl’s Dyke Manor, the Deck House and the Villa — on roughly four acres of private nature reserve.
Location
The Glen is the valley between Camps Bay and Lion’s Head, a few streets uphill from the beachfront. The operator states the grounds border Table Mountain National Park and that the Camps Bay beachfront is within walking distance. The setting is wooded and quiet rather than on the sea.
Our Camps Bay guide covers how the suburb works day to day.

Exploring Cape Town from here
Camps Bay faces the Atlantic with the Twelve Apostles behind it, and the mountain sits between the suburb and the rest of the city: the City Bowl and the V&A Waterfront are reached over Kloof Nek or around through Sea Point. The Table Mountain cableway is at the top of the Kloof Nek road, and the coast road south runs past Oudekraal and Llandudno to Hout Bay.
