The Bay Hotel

Average guest rating:4.0

Resplendently situated between the majestic backdrop of the craggy Twelve Apostles and the palm-fringed white sands of Camps Bay Beach, The Bay was the first beachfront hotel in Cape Town. The Bay has proven over the years that 5* elegance and sophistication can be achieved in an informal atmosphere.

The upmarket suburb of Camps Bay has a typical village atmosphere and is home to some of the trendiest restaurants and bars and one of the most beautiful beaches in Cape Town. Local life is casual and in the evening residents and holidaymakers can be found enjoying sundowners at the many sidewalk bistros and restaurants on the strip.

The Bay is the perfect base from which to explore the wonders of the Cape and is within easy reach of its most celebrated scenic attractions.

In the evening, Tides @ The Bay embodies elegant, intimate and relaxed dining in a breathtaking location. Selected as the best restaurant in Cape Town by Wine Magazine's Top 100 Restaurants and as one of the top ten restaurants in South Africa by Eat Out Magazine, Tides sets the mood for an unforgettable fine dining experience.

Every one of the 72 bedrooms and 6 suites gaze upon the spectacular vista that is Camps Bay. Many of the rooms have spacious balconies.

All the room have air-conditioning, tea / coffee making facilities and a mini bar.

Guests can relax around the sparkling pool, or simply cross the road to the golden sands and lie on the beach. There is also a Spa for guest's enjoyment, plus a small but well-equipped gymnasium.

"Apologies for not getting back sooner - wedding and work seem to have taken over my life for last two weeks.

We had a really brilliant holiday, and in no small part due to Travel Butlers' knowledge and advice.

The Bay Hotel in Camps Bay was a great recommendation. I don't think we would have liked the hotels around the waterfront - and we even had a whale in the bay on our last day there. One of the best designed hotel rooms I've been in, but not over impressed by the restaurant in the hotel, despite it's apparent high standing. Blues Restaurant, 50 yds away was much better.

Hermanus was really good, and Abalone Guest House a real treat. Relaxed and informal, great views, with provision of binoculars for close-ups of the whales.

The Phantom Forest was phantastic, and the food here was the best we had throughout the holiday. 6 course meals for £25 per head. Maybe we had a discount as residents , but even so, we would be paying 3 times that amount for similar quality in London. The rooms and the views at Phantom were spectacular.

Kruger was all we hoped for and more. The lodge (Exeter River Lodge) was fine, guides and trackers very good, food excellent, and an all-round brilliant 3 days.

Stanley Safari was another excellent recommendation. We were certainly better there than in Mauritius, which was my original plan. Stanley Safari Lodge was an excellent spot. Quiet - no phones, no TV, no newspapers, not even a connection to the main building. Service there was excellent, and all meals well prepared and served, including light lunch and evening meals.

As luck would have it, when we went to Livingstone Island to sit on the edge of the falls, we were accompanied by 73 year old great grand-daughter of David Livingstone, along with her daughter. A great finish to a wonderful trip.

All in all, a great trip."
