Amazing.

My stay was good; just the Cape Town weather was a disappointment.

Amazing.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and modern, and the views were breathtaking. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of choices. The only thing that could have been better was the mattress - it was too hard. Other than that, it was great!

5 star accommodation, the best in Cape Town.

Ocean View House is short of 1 star, they deserve 5 stars! This was the best experience, with the best view and weekend we had in a long time. Can go for beach walks, near the best restaurants. Their breakfast is outstanding and their staff are so professional. We will most certainly be back!

Beautiful view, very helpful staff, wonderful room. Highly recommend.

The views were lovely, the staff was amazing and incredibly helpful, and the room was comfortable. The breakfast provided was delicious, and the ambiance of the guest house was beautiful. The staff called us taxis to go wherever we needed and were always kind. The housekeeping kept coming in while we were in the room, though, so I wish they were more flexible with the hours.

Beautiful location and a peaceful space nestled in the shade of the mountain.

The Ocean View House offers exceptional views of both the ocean and the 12 Apostles. It is ideally located with easy access to the best of Cape Town. The actual accommodation is superb. The rooms are beautiful, clean and have a lovely view. The staff is friendly and very helpful. There is a lovely selection of breakfast foods. It is a lovely place to come for some R&R.

Vriendelike diens, asemrowende uitsig.

Mens vergeet soms jy is in Suid-Afrika as mens die see voor jou en berg agter jou beleef. Ocean View House se ligging is ideaal vir 'n uitstekende uitsig asook 'n goeie middelpunt vir alle aktiwiteite in en rondom Kampsbaai.

Friendly service, breathtaking view.

You sometimes forget you are in South Africa when you experience the sea in front of you and the mountain behind you. Ocean View House's location is ideal for an excellent view as well as a good center for all activities in and around Kampsbaai.

'n Ervaring wat alle verwagtinge oortref het.

Elke personeel lid gaan uit hulle pad om gaste so welkom as moontlik te laat voel. Daar is duisend mooi plekkies om die uitsigte te geniet en net te ontspan. Komplimente aan die kombuis span vir hulle vriendelikheid en diens!

Rustig met wonderlike see uitsigte.

Die kamers was stylvol en alles wat toeris verwag. Die hotel kan dalk aandag gee om meer aanwysings na die kamers en restaurant te gee, veral omdat die kamers in verskillende geboue is kan dit verwarrend wees waar die kamers is. Die stortvloere in die kamers is baie glad en kan die hotel oorweeg om ekstra rubberstortmat te voorsien. Die TV-opvangs in kamer C4 waar ons gebly het was nie goed nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Quiet with wonderful sea views.

The rooms were stylish and everything a tourist expects. The hotel could pay attention to give more directions to the rooms and restaurant, especially since the rooms are in different buildings it can be confusing where the rooms are. The shower floors in the rooms are very smooth and the hotel may consider providing extra rubber shower mats. The TV reception in room C4 where we stayed was not good.

Rustige, ontspanne atmosfeer, heerlike kos en vriendelike personeel.

Die omgewing is so asemrowend mooi, jy hoor altyd die see. Die ligging is perfek as jy by als wil wees, maar tog in die aande 'n rustige atmosfeer om jou wil hê. Die personeel is vriendelik en hulpvaardig sou jy iewers anders wil gaan (soos bv. die spa). Ons het dit baie geniet en sal beslis weer gaan.

Quiet, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff.

The surroundings are so breathtakingly beautiful, you can always hear the sea. The location is perfect if you want to be with everyone, but still want a peaceful atmosphere around you in the evenings. The staff are friendly and helpful should you want to go somewhere else (such as the spa). We really enjoyed it and will definitely go again.

Fabulous accommodation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean View House. Our rooms (we stayed in two different rooms) were gorgeous! The staff was fabulous and very accommodating. Only negative was the WiFi ~ we could never connect to it in our room. We had to go to the main building. It wasn't until our last day that we saw a note stating two different WiFi connections that could be chosen. Other than the WiFi, we loved OVH and the staff! The breakfasts was amazing! Just wasn't communicated well which rooms it was included and which room it was NOT included and was an extra cost. Thank you for everything!
