The Bay Hotel, South Africa

Adam Chapman

Camps Bay reminds me of California in many ways. It is an up market town with incredibly beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, numerous restaurants and plenty of sun. The Bay Hotel is located right in the heart of all the action. For those wanting a quiet retreat it may not be for you but if you want to be in amongst all the action, it is the perfect spot. The views are incredible and the variety of room types means there is something to suit almost every budget but make sure that you book early!

South Africa Review

We have been to South Africa before in February/March when it is the depths of winter in the UK. Envigorating to get away from our dismal weather and the South Africans we have met have always made us welcome. Where we have been, we have alway felt safe although we have clearly avoided the townships...
