Dear Mark
... the
entire film crew enjoyed staying at Campsbayglen, we as you
know are in the visual field and fell in love with your lovely guesthouse
the minute we walked through the door.
We have
travelled the world and stayed in many fine hotels but the view
from your deck has got to be one of the finest we have ever had
the pleasure of seeing. The
rooms are very comfortable and spacious, the breakfast provided
to us at the crack of dawn was ample and even though the
stay was short it was most memorable. (NOTE
THAT THE BREAKFAST WAS SPECIALLY PRE-ARRANGED FOR THE CREW)
Once again
thank you for the hospitality and we will certainly stay at your
lovely guesthouse when ever we have the good fortune to film in
your wonderful city.
Warm regards
David Braun.

Firstly, Mark is a fantastic host. No request is too big. He's
there to cater for your every request. Gamps Bay Glen is a large
rustic house in Camps Bay, bordering the nature reserve. The wooden
deck overlooks a river, the swimming pool, natural forest and
ocean. The deck also receives direct light from the sun, perfect
for sundowners.
The deck also has a secret, a big outside bath tub, perfect
for romantic outdoor bubble baths. The downstairs pool features
bamboo shading and hammocks. It is set next to a flowing natural
river which has garden access. Being on the Camps Bay / Nature
Reserve is an interesting experience.
On
one hand, you're facing pristine natural beauty, set underneath
the majestic Twelve Apostles section of Table Mountain and above
the unspoilt Oudekraal coastline. On the other hand, you're a
12 minute walk from the Camps Bay "Palm Beach, Miami-Style"
promenade, with it's myriad of white beaches, great restaurants
and evening events - most noted a wicked ice-cream emporium called
Sinful Ice-cream Emporium.
All
in all, a great stay. It's well priced and I'll go there as often
as I can.

Mark...I
truly had a wonderful time staying there, you have a very special
place with a lovely positive energy. I have come back very energized
and focused on where i need to be and what I need to be doing,
that was the purpose of my time out in CT and I have achieved
it and I think largely to do with my choice of where to stay!
So thanks again..

Guestbook Details & Comments and grading:
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! is how I would describe Camps Bay Glen.
What a beautiful tranquil retreat. A perfect place for rejuvenating
and yet just a stones throw from the lively buzz that Camps Bay
has to offer. Restaurants, night life, amazing beaches all just
around the corner. Yet you can come “home” to your
little piece of paradise. I stayed in Studio A (main house) and
the views and beauty that I experienced are just breathtaking.
There is a huge pool to cool off in and a Braai (Barbeque) area
by the pool for your use. There is also a beautiful river &
waterfall at the end of the garden, very peaceful & relaxing.
Sitting on the deck and just taking in the nature & beauty
is a truly unique experience. Mark is a fantastic host and the
house is very well equipped and spacious. I travel frequently
to Cape Town and have stayed in many places in Camps Bay and other
parts but this is one place that I will most definitely visit
again and would highly recommend it. If you are looking for a
rustic peaceful place with an amazing atmosphere and some of the
most stunning scenery you can experience in Cape Town yet with
in close proximity to all attractions then CampsBayGlen is most
definitely the place for you.

Farquharson,
Andrew - A returning guest from SCOTLAND.....(stayed
in Studio A)
....Fantastic;
just knowing that a couple of weeks of pure tranquillity will
be coming at the end of the year will make work and the London
weather a lot easier to handle.
I'm
glad we were good guests as I really felt a connection to the
place; even if I now live in about as urban a place as it's possible
to live, my roots are still in the wilds of rural Scotland, so
I love the physical structure of Campsbayglen with basic wood
everywhere and views straight to the sea.
Staying
in Campsbayglen was truly a magical, tranquil experience. It felt
like living almost in the forest but an easy 10 minutes walk from
all the restaurants and bars of Camps Bay.
Even
though the Campsbayglen house is at the end of a street of architecturally
amazing modern houses; it's also right on the edge of a beautiful
nature reserve and once you're inside the house, it's impossible
to see anything but trees and wildlife and sea from any of the
windows or many wooden decks or the beautiful pool.
We
stayed in two-bed roomed Studio
A which was a huge amount of space for two people
but worth it to have the amazing outside deck with views to the
sea and outdoor shower and bath (which were used much more often
than the two indoor versions)!
It's
not a luxury "designer" house but our host, Mark has
created a fantastically quirky and comfortable space with real
character and I hope to be relaxing in perfect bliss in one of
the hammocks by the pool same time next year.
Best
wishes
Andrew

Hi
Mark
Thank you for your cozy place in Camps Bay. Our Studio C
you provided us was the tranquil perfection
we were looking for. We found it a relief to have the sound
of the river and numerous bird calls juxtaposed with our energised
zig zag holiday fun in Cape Town and surrounding areas. We can
see that you have put a lot of effort into creating this feeling
with the relaxing hammock on our private deck and the wonderful
forest atmosphere you have created on the premises. We really
enjoyed snuggling in our little haven of happiness as your guest
house ensured a relaxed, romantic stay for us in Cape Town.
Thanks again
Dave and Tash

Camps Bay Glen
has a fine position with Atlantic-view, and 12 min. from the City-Bowl.
A house with plenty of outdoor space, and a fine pool-area. Peaceful
and quiet nature with a stream. You can choose between quiet a
few different places for breakfast and sundowners. In studio A
You can have a hot outdoor bath looking at the sunset. A place
you want to return to.
My family
already have booked again for next year. A wireless Internet connection
"secure a link to the civilisation", and make this nature-pearl
something special.
But, if you
are looking for slippery marble floors, and golden taps ......
you had better find another place!
My best regards
