    I like the friendly staff who always assisted when need. The breakfast were very nice and I enjoyed the open lounge which was always clean and neat.

    The accommodation is really nice with a great view of the mountain and the sea. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful location close to all amenities and the beach.

    Shaby chic plus, kitchenette small, very little equipment, 2 plates , 2 bowls, 2 knives etc. Microwave, fridge , toaster. However most people eat out in camps bay. Nice breakfast for additional cost. Could do with a better duvet.

    The view from our room was spectacular. Definitely the best view we have had anywhere in the world and at 73 there are not many places we have not been. Big bedroom ,big balcony, nice pool , very quirky , safe area, parking , quiet. 5min drive to town , parking easy.

    Breakfast was over priced for the offering and it was clear it had been laid out multiple days in a row and not the freshest croissants or pastries. The fridge in our room wasnt really working.

    Funky place full of character amongst all the new builds in Camps Bay. Lovely chilled atmosphere and while it is self catering it had a basic breakfast offering and options for cold drinks.

    Expensive stay with renovations ongoing

    We were travelling as a family with two young adults. Our girls were accommodated 2 floors above us! On arrival and entering the house there as a strong smell of paint and the painters were decorating the hall way - it looked a mess. The decorators were present throughout our stay doign our rooms that looked onto the pool area. We should of been informed about this prior to our arrival and offered to either cancel & chose different accommodation or at least a reduction in price. We had to replace a light bulb in our daughters room. There was no microwave in our room - as advertised.

    Location was perfect for us. Love the styling of the rooms although the recent painting was rushed and messy. The housekeeper appeared friendly but did not seem to understand why we would want to be accommodated near to our daughters and not the furthest corners of the house.

    Very noisy on the bottom floor due to a shared hallway which was vey echoey. Breakfast layout and setup could be better if served in the guest lounge. Parts of the property could do with a bit of TLC.

    Nice secure location, nice people and very helpful, nice and relaxed.

    You probably need a car to stay here or you are reliant on Uber. It is a good 40 minute uphill walk from the Camps Bay beach front.

    The bed was very comfortable and the shower water temperature was perfect. There are nice comunal areas with good views everywhere. Portia was very flexible with breakfast times and was very helpful with any request.

    I didn’t like a bar Friedge that was in a toilet completely unhygienic, and it’s advisable to let guests know of there are animals on the property. Allergic to cats and would have preferred to know before hand

    Great location, clean, good staff.
