Gryphon Lodge Camps Bay is an exclusive, gay-owned and operated private estate created for discerning gay couples and private adult groups who want to experience Cape Town with style, freedom and absolute privacy.
Set above Camps Bay, one of the Mother City's most prestigious coastal enclaves, Gryphon Lodge offers the rare combination of boutique luxury, sophisticated discretion and a secure, welcoming adults-only atmosphere. From the property, you enjoy breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean, the bay and the dramatic natural beauty surrounding Camps Bay.
This is not a standard holiday rental. Gryphon Lodge is designed as a private sanctuary for guests who value beauty, privacy, comfort and the freedom to enjoy their holiday on their own terms. Whether you are planning a romantic couples' escape, a stylish trip with close friends, a milestone celebration or a private group stay, the lodge offers a refined home base where you can relax, connect and experience Cape Town without the limits of a hotel environment.
The outdoor areas are the heart of the property and are included as part of your stay. Guests enjoy access to the private pool, counter stream, sun terraces, lounge areas and the generous garden - a rare luxury in Camps Bay. Here you can spend long days swimming, sunbathing, reading, sharing drinks, dining outdoors or simply enjoying the view in complete privacy. The atmosphere is open, relaxed and discreet: a place where adult guests can feel free, comfortable and unobserved, without having to retreat indoors to enjoy personal space.
Inside, Gryphon Lodge offers elegant living areas, comfortable bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, fast Wi-Fi, practical amenities and a calm, stylish setting for both relaxation and connection. The house works beautifully for couples who want space and privacy, as well as for private groups who want to enjoy the energy of Cape Town while returning to a peaceful, secure and luxurious retreat above the ocean.
Camps Bay Beach, Clifton, Sea Point, the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain, the city center, world-class restaurants, cocktail bars, fitness options and Cape Town's gay-friendly nightlife are all within easy reach. Spend the day exploring beaches, wine estates, scenic drives, restaurants and the vibrant Mother City, then return to your own private lodge with pool, garden and panoramic Atlantic views.
As gay owners and hosts, we understand the difference between simply being accommodated and feeling genuinely welcome. Gryphon Lodge is created for adult travelers who appreciate discretion, good design, relaxed luxury and a setting where they can be themselves. We are happy to share personal recommendations for beaches, restaurants, wine farms, private drivers, wellness, fitness, nightlife and memorable gay-friendly experiences in and around Cape Town.
Gryphon Lodge is ideal for romantic escapes, honeymoons, private holidays with friends, special occasions, extended stays or a stylish base before or after a wider South African journey. It offers Camps Bay glamour, generous outdoor living, adult freedom and the feeling of having your own private home by the Atlantic.
Please note: Gryphon Lodge is a refined private retreat, not a public party or event venue. We welcome respectful adult guests who appreciate privacy, discretion, beautiful surroundings and the privilege of enjoying Camps Bay from a secure, gay-owned and operated sanctuary.
