Traditional South African Barbeque

View on mapThe Retreat Kitchen
There are a couple of things about a homely kitchen that makes it special - the fact that you will always be welcomed and that it is normally where the "good stuff" is kept hidden or slowly simmering. The smell of freshly baked breads, sound of mixers and blenders, the look of fresh fish and poultry and the sense of extreme heat. All these hidden and simmering treasures are made with the utmost care and always in abundance, rounded off with "seasoned" timing in the Retreat Kitchen.While the interiors are warm and elegant by an open fire and the dining room wall allowing you a peek into the kitchen’s soul, the unforgettable experience is dining on the terrace. The sound of waves breaking in the not too distant Atlantic Ocean, with abundant greenery as a side attraction, completes the blissful atmosphereFrom the breakfast menu that covers seasonal continental buffets with an A’la Carte option wih a twist, to lunches that’s kept light and current, and best served as picnic in the shade of mature trees with the ocean as backdrop.Unpretentious dishes grace the dinner menu with modern touches to the classics. The tender signature Chalmar Beef Fillet is the ever popular dish – either cooked on the grill, or over open fire during the summer months.Organic home grown herbs, vegetables and micro herbs clearly features as an ingredient or garnish throughout.

Recreation
The moment you arrive at Camps Bay Retreat, you’ll be entranced by the charm of the original Manor House that gives the estate its olden day charm. A grand entrance hall of marble and pillars welcomes you and invites your eyes to trail over its careful detailing. With dramatic features such as high ceilings, oversized paintings, a baby grand piano, chandeliers and Turkish rugs, the manor’s interior instantly transports one to a previous era. A log fire is always burning in the cooler months and the entrance hall flows effortlessly out onto the terrace and the gardens.There are two lounges leading off the entrance hall, The Lounge is more suited to a quiet read and could be referred to as a sun room, and The Library, with its selections of games and books, is more of an entertainment lounge. Both have large armchairs, couches and fireplaces and offer guests the welcoming atmosphere of an old world family estate.

The mountain pool on the lower reaches of the gardens were created to appear as natural as possible, as though flowing out of the earth, the pool is the size of a large swimming pool and has flowing water trickling into it, provided by a run off from The Glen Forest.
