Multi Million Rand Beach Club brings new flavour to Camps Bay
Pepper Club on the Beach, Camps Bay's newest fine dining restaurant and stylish cocktail bar, was
officially launched in December with more than 400 guests in attendance, including an array of
South Africa's top models, musicians and sportsmen.
Pepper Club on the Beach is a groundbreaking concept in the South African hotel industry -
combining a 5 star hotel in the heart of Cape Town with a multi-million rand beach club on the
Camps Bay beachfront. While the beach club will be open seven days a week to the general public,
guests of the Pepper Club luxury hotel residence and spa will receive VIP treatment with the use of the exclusive changing room facilities at the beach club, after a leisurely day on the beach.
