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.
It has a lush garden and a terrace overlooking Table Mountain. The rooms at the Swiss Cottage Guest House include a TV and an electric kettle. Some rooms have mountain views. The Swiss Cottage Guest House also offers fully furnished apartments/rooms with a kitchen and a dining area. Guests of the Swiss Cottage Guest House can enjoy panoramic views of Table Mountain while having a drink in the garden, which has traditional braai facilities.
The Swiss Cottage Guest House is 10-minute drive from Table Mountain and Camps Bay city centre, which is filled with trendy bars and restaurants. Free parking is available nearby.
The Guest House is owned by Dr Smith, who has his dental practice in Claremont. Upon arrival at the guesthouse, you will be greeted by Chris, the manager, and Darwin, the housekeeper. They will be looking after you during your stay.
“This is the second time that we have stayed at Swiss Cottage. We again enjoyed our stay. Chris and helper (Darwin) are most friendly and helpful. We strongly recommend Swiss Cottage as a reasonably priced accommodation in Camps Bay.”

“Warm friendly welcome by Chris who went the 'extra' mile and accommodated the additional guest without hesitation. Despite the cold weather in CT, the guest cottage was warm and cosy; a Sunday spent indoors by one of our party was relaxing and peaceful. The facilities and excellent location are well worth and good for value.”
