Camps Bay Property

Far from how it is today, Camps Bay once had only one owner, John Lodewyk Wernich who eventually passed the area on to his son. When Johan Wernich married Anna Koekemoer, she was eventually widowed in 1778 and subsequently inherited the entire area. When Anna met a sailor called Frederik Ernst von Kamptz the area became known as “Die Baai van von Kamptz” – everyone in the area were convinced Frederik married Anna for her money. “Die Baai van von Kamptz” is merely the translation for Camps Bay – as we know it today.  Today Camps Bay is one of Cape Town’s most affluent areas. It is close to other luxurious suburbs such as Clifton and Bakoven. It is a popular tourist destination during the summer months, its pearly white beaches being the main attraction. Camps Bay has a trendy nightlife with many clubs and restaurants available for the happy holidaymaker.

It is therefore no surprise that Camps Bay is a popular place for purchasing property to let to tourists and South Africans alike. Yet, this is not all that Camps Bay has to offer. There are also permanent residents in Camps Bay. These homes range from families, young professionals and retired residents. There are many schools available in the area and any other amenities needed by residents are available. Camps Bay offers many shops, cafes and restaurants. 

Camps Bay has various luxury beaches where people can enjoy a variety of activities. Oudekraal is a collection of smaller beaches sheltered by boulders. You can enjoy picnics and braais here or just laze around.  Lui Bay is a popular beach for diving and Koeël Bay has an African open-air curio market that sells hand crafted items from all over Africa. It is a popular spot to relax and laze in the sun. Another residential area close to Camps Bay is Bakoven which gets its name from the large rock just off-shore which looks like an oven door.  Camps Bay Beach was awarded blue flag status in 2008 and is a wonderful Cape Town beach which is very popular. It is the largest white sand beach in Camps Bay. Camps Bay Beach offers many beach front cafes and umbrellas and loungers are available to rent.
