Excellent stay. Friendly staff, welcoming and helpful. A great experience all round. We will definitely consider a return visit. Close to the beach,and quiet but traffic heavy en-route to Camp Town CBD is a draw back.

She was very helpful and made our stay so easy. She even helped me print out discount tickets for the Hop On, Hop Off Sight Seeing bus.... More

While the location so close to Capmps Bay beach is ideal, the accommodation was only average. The room is poorly furnished and the lack of weekend/after hour reception and service is a problem. Also the lack of parking on site means you have to find parking in the very busy roads in the area, but maybe this is what you... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Situated just 200m from the palm-fringed, snowy white beach in Camps Bay, you will find this historical house, Swiss Cottage No.1, nestled below the Apostles Mountain Range (Part of Table Mountain). A feature and landmark in Camps Bay Village, it is one of four "Swiss Cottages" that came from Oslo, Norway, where the wood was cut and shaped, ready to assemble and then shipped to Cape Town in 1902.From the guest house, walk to the beach and shops and savour the local and international cuisine offered by the many restaurants and side-walk cafes. Witness the stunning sunsets over the sea or simply soak up the sun on the number one rated beach in South Africa.Swiss Cottage has built a reputation as a place that is "a home away from home" and nothing is too much for us to organise and arrange for our guests. Many guests have become personal friends and have visited several times and referred their friends and family to Swiss Cottage. Guests appreciate the fact that they can walk (takes 2 minutes) to the beach and restaurants. ... more   less
