to get started.

Ian and Ann are phenomenal people. The view was beyond spectacular from our room. The rooms are so much cutier than they looked online. Just beautiful. Penquins are minutes away. Highly recommend this place.

Elaine, United States of America

The proprietors were absolutely fantastic. Full of local knowledge and really friendly. They made us feel so welcome to their beautiful home.

Will, Ireland

Beautiful view, stylish rooms and very nice hosts

Rhuju, United States of America

Quiet, comfortable, beautiful views, and amazingly wonderful hosts. Ian and Ann were extremely accommodating to us from our midnight arrival to letting us hang out on the balcony after check out to delay our arrival in Cape Town so that we didn’t have to wait around with our luggage. Absolutely wonderful place to stay.

Robert, Canada

Fantastic hosts , decor service with amazing views. Can’t wait to go back for our next break away.

Dan, Saudi Arabia

I want to live in this this apartment! Great set up, insane views and location, amazing hospitality and insight into the area, if we’re back in CT, we’ll definitely stay here

Ben, United Arab Emirates

Very friendly hosts, lovely rooms, and very lovely breakfast included! Highly recommend.

Rene, South Africa

What an amazing place. The views are absolutely incredible – even from your very comfortable bed! The room was spacious and beautifully decorated with all the expected extras, including free Wi-Fi throughout. Hosts, Ian and Ann, couldn’t do enough to make our stay most enjoyable, they even arranged dinner at one of the local restaurants in Simonstown for us. A great continental breakfast on the patio, with those uninterrupted views across False Bay, brought an end to a most enjoyable stay. We’ll be back

Peter, South Africa

Ian and Anne's friendly welcome into the most magnificent space overlooking the breathtaking views of False Bay and the surrounding mountains. Everything from the location, the rooms, breakfast and the feeling of tranquility one gets stepping into Ocean's Drift was truly memorable.

Load shedding which seemed to happen more often in the area than in other parts of the Cape but this wasn't something the owners could have helped.

Could not fault anything about Oceans drift at all.
Ian and Anne, the owners, are so welcoming at Oceans drift. We stayed here for 2 nights but wish it had been more. The view from our room was incredible, as was the hospitality and breakfast each morning. Big comfortable rooms which were really quiet. Ian gave us some really useful info about Kruger National Park which was where we were heading after Simon's town. We don't normally return to holiday destinations twice, but this is one place we definitely would! Ian and Anne, thank you so much for your hospitality towards, it was perfect!

“Warm place and an invitation for evasion”
- • Leisure trip

- • King Room with Sea View

The hosts Ann & Ian are very welcoming, attentioned and available for their guests. We immediately felt at ease when we arrived. It is a pleasure to have discussions and share with them, it makes the impression of a truly south african guesthouse, with possibility to get to know more about the people and life here. The room in itself is modern, well designed. The view over the sea offered by the room and private terrace is just amazing. From your bed, you can see the sea and feel evasion. Beds are comfly, nice touch of decoration, simple and warm. Breaksfast food is nice and healthy. I would definitely recommend to stay at Ocean Drift. Good place to explore the surroundings (Cape of Good Hope, Simon Town, coast towns...) I will definitely come back, thanks to Ann & Ian for the experience.

Ian & Ann were wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We loved our chats with them over breakfast every morning. They gave us great recommendations of places to visit, good restaurants, even making bookings for us. The accommodation is beautiful with the most stunning views and conveniently situated near to Boulders Beach & Simons Town. I would recommend having a car to get the most out of the area. Staying with Ian & Ann was more like staying with friends than in a guest house.
