South Beach Camps Bay

Set between the craggy Twelve Apostles mountains and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, South Beach Camps Bay blends comfortable self-catering facilities with the convenient services of a hotel.

This is a great spot for those travellers who like to set their own pace and be on the go, but who also enjoy having modern conveniences at their fingertips.

A 19-suite apartment complex lying a very short stroll from popular Camps Bay beach, it offers you everything from two swimming pools and a gym to your own kitchenette, mini-bar and Nespresso coffee machine. Boasting ocean views and just a few steps away from the upscale restaurants and busy cafes of the vibrant Camps Bay strip, South Beach is ideal for solo travellers, couples and honeymooners.

Bringing a Miami-style exuberance to Cape Town, South Beach apartments are all sea-facing and range in size. All have a balcony or private patio area plus a designer bathroom with a separate spa bathtub and shower with luxurious toiletries and fluffy bathrobes. Your bed configuration is either king-sized or twins and a selection of pillows can be chosen prior to or even on arrival from the pillow menu. Other extras include a complimentary continental breakfast, high-speed Wi-Fi, and the use of a local mobile phone and bicycles for exploring the area.

Special Touches & Highlights (what we love)

Serviced seven days a week and offering fresh croissants and baguettes for breakfast every morning, South Beach comes complete with a concierge service, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and an in-room entertainment system. The emphasis at South Beach is on making your stay in Cape Town as easy, convenient and flexible as you like. Guests enjoy free use of bicycles, and the hotel can supply a local cell phone and luxury car for transfers. There is secure parking on site for your rental car and the hotel is a short drive from Cape Town’s top destinations like iconic Table Mountain and the ever-popular V&A Waterfront.

Style & Decor

Inspired by the bold style of the Miami coast, South Beach is a handsome, clean-lined building with wooden slatted shutters and sea-facing terraces. Interiors are cool and contemporary in shades of white with earthy notes providing contrast. Furnishings are modern and minimalistic with art works catching the eye.

Neighbourhood

Set truly at the heart of Camps Bay, South Beach is a short walk from Victoria Road, the palm-fringed coastal road lined by the sandy beach on one side and a wide range of restaurants, cafes and boutiques on the other. If you want to be at the epicentre of the Camps Bay experience, then South Beach is an excellent option.

If you are catering for yourself, then you are conveniently within walking distance of Camps Bay’s upscale supermarket; take a drive and you have a vast array of restaurants and stores in the city centre as well as the ever-popular V&A Waterfront.

Suitability

With its range of single-bedroom self-catering apartments, South Beach is perfect for solo travellers, couples and honeymooners. Its proximity to the Camps Bay and Clifton beaches means easy access to Cape Town’s most fashionable summer destinations, which are popular between November and April.

Best time to visit

Cape Town is a year-round destination (depending on your interests) but Camps Bay is definitely at its showy best over the long summer between November and April. With warm, dry and sunny weather dominating these months, summer is also Cape Town’s windiest season, making South Beach a smart choice as you can use its two swimming pools and sheltered sun terraces on windy days. It is a great choice for travellers who plan to spend a lot of time on the beach (bear in mind that the months of December and January are peak season and visitor numbers are high).
