Our stay at Ocean View House in Camps Bay was absolutely incredible! The views were out of this world – from our balcony, we could see the Atlantic Ocean stretching out in front of us, with the iconic Table Mountain and Lion’s Head rising behind. One of the highlights was spotting whales from our balcony – a truly magical experience!
The gardens surrounding the property were beautifully kept, adding to the peaceful and scenic atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a warm smile. Breakfast was brilliant – fresh, delicious, and served in a gorgeous setting.
Camps Bay itself is a stunning area, close to the beach, great restaurants, and all of Cape Town’s main attractions. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay – highly recommended!

The location is quiet and away from the crowded nightlife. Our family felt secluded, but still a few minutes drive from all of the action. Breakfast at the accommodation is amazing and the service is top-notch.
Parking was especially easy! Parking spaces are available behind a gated entry, which means looking of street parking is not needed! Having easy parking was a huge bonus since the streets are narrow, windy, and dark.
The gardens around the property are absolutely beautiful. The unique landscape design, quantity of succulents, and the tranquil views are beyond expectations and are a dreamscape.

There were amazing views. The room was spacious with a huge balcony & a fireplace in the living room. The breakfast was included & made to order. They were very accommodating with our Gluten Free requirements. The staff was very helpful & friendly. We would definitely stay there when we go back to Cape Town.

Super friendly staff. Great hotel manager. Perfect breakfast. The only downside: the room was a bit worn out and didn’t match the luxurious pictures on the website. The pool is okay, but nothing more.
