On the lower slopes of Table Mountain is Camissa House, Cape Town's newest luxury boutique hotel that is set in a quiet, residential neighbourhood. There are just eight guest rooms, boasting breath-taking views, stylish décor and luxurious touches. Service at Camissa House is impeccable, fostering a relaxed feel that encourages guests to help themselves to drinks in the bar lounge. The on-duty butler is on hand at all times, whether it is offering a nightcap on your return from dinner in the city centre or fixing tea and coffee first thing in the morning. Guests can relax beside the swimming pool or in the cosy lounge area, while the rooftop terrace has impressive views that make it a fantastic place for a sunset drink. Breakfast and High Tea are served in the Dining Room while the hotel provides a complimentary on-demand shuttle to nearby restaurants, and staff are happy to assist with recommendations and bookings where they can.

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
