In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All rooms are priced the same. The one recommended for honeymooners has a bigger bathroom. Two are sea-facing with a balcony; one is sea-facing with a deck by the pool; the mountain-view room has its own private garden and open-air shower.
- Packing tips
- You're only five minutes' walk from the sea so, if you're there in summer, take all your beach requisites – but remember a light jacket for boat trips and mountain walks. Camps Bay is where the rich live and play, so bring some bling.
Current offers
- Smith card offer
- A bottle of Méthode Cap Classique, and pool refreshments to members staying in January; members staying on Valentine's Day will also receive a luxury box of chocolate

Atlantic House
Cape Town, South Africa[view map]
- Style
- Sybaritic sea-view simplicity
- Setting
- A crest over Camps Bay
Atlantic House is a five-star guesthouse perched on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles in Camps Bay along Cape Town's Atlantic seaboard, and it truly is a haven of simplicity and style. It appears to be a smart residential property; inside, too, it has the charming air of being a private home. 'Boutique' isn't quite the right word to describe a hideaway such as this, since it doesn't convey that it is an elegant, calm space in which to relax and unwind. It's the sort of place an international business traveller weary of posh hotels would consider an antidote, and a retreat an attention-shy celebrity would adore.
