restaurant Fredrik Ernst von Kamptz was a German sailor from Deven close to Mecklenburg, Germany. He was left behind in the Cape at the Dutch settlement that served as a refreshment station to enable sailors with illness or scurvy to regain their health. As von Kamptz’s health returned, he wooed the widow of Johan Jan Lodewyk Wernich, owner of Ravensteyn on Roodekrantz, the first farmhouse in the area we now know as Camps Bay. Johan inherited the farm from his father who was granted the land by his father, Joachim Wernich, Burgermeester of Bismark. The wealthy, lonely widow with her six children was won over and von Kamptz was soon the proud owner of the estate. The area became known as “Die baai van von Kamptz”, which eventually evolved into “Camps Bay”. TV1212 01/04/2019

All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.” - Paulo Coelho, Brida Camps Bay Retreat’s partner wine farms On the slopes of Bottelary Hills bordering Stellenbosch, is a family estate where nature provides the perfect backdrop to grow, produce and share award-winning wines. Nestled in a valley on the free-draining, north-eastern slopes. Vineyards face north, west, and east, with varietals planted to take advantage of either morning or afternoon sun. There is a difference in altitude of some 250m between the northern and southern vineyards. On 1 January 1987, Ken Mackenzie, purchased Hartenberg, having seen the potential that the perennial under-achiever offered. His daughters continue a program of investment in the farm, focusing on three key areas: the replanting to specific sites of premium varietals, the development of production facilities, and the upliftment, through knowledge and skills for employees.
