Great location

The location is amazing. Close to the beach, a shopping center with two supermarkets, great cafés and restaurants, the City Sightseeing bus stop and more. The surrounding nature. The room and bathroom were both very spacious.

Wouldn’t stay elsewhere in Camps Bay

This place is unreal! Oodles of character, and Chris and Darwin are absolutely stand out blokes. Super well located, safe and lovely road, quiet yet right there in the mix.

Great location and property, excellent value and extremely kind and helpful site manager in Chris.

Another fabulous stay, we stayed once again in the upstairs King suite with balcony. Extremely spacious with great mountain views from the balcony. The unit has everything you need and great value. Many thanks again to Chris and his team for his kindness and willingness to to help and advise on local trips. Responds almost immediately to any enquiries. Wonderful position for all the shops and restaurants yet quiet at the same time. Thank You Luda and Ron

A cozy and friendly place that offers excellent value for money.

Safe, quiet area and is close to everything. Such a good value for money in an expensive side of town and the host is nice and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again.

A peaceful, spacious, and safe stay just steps from the beach, everything I needed to relax!

I stayed for a week after coming to South Africa for wedding and it was exactly what I needed to relax before heading home to Europe. The private space is spacious and comfortable with a great bed, large living room, and a peaceful outdoor terrace. The self-catering setup had everything if you ever wanted to go that way with the Wollies just a mins away: oven, microwave, big fridge, braai, and all the cookware you could need. Only a 2-minute walk to the beach, ideal for daily swims or watching the sunset. The team was fantastic. Darwin was incredibly helpful with early check-in, late check-out, and laundry. Quiet, safe, and very easy to settle in. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Camps Bay.

Great location, clean and friendly staff. It was good value for money.

The location was excellent! The property is situated within walking distance from the beach and main restaurants plus shops. It was extremely clean and safe. Darwin, the housekeeper was very friendly and helpful.

Great location and spacious room, but overall stay disappointing due to poor cleanliness and outdate

The location is excellent — walking distance to all shops and the beachfront. The room was comfortable and spacious, which I appreciated. The property has great potential because of its location and layout, but the cleanliness and upkeep standards are not acceptable for the price charged.

Dream room in Camps Bay

A vintage African-style room in the heart of Camps Bay! The bed was very comfortable, and the apartment really charming, located in one of the most beautiful areas of Cape Town. In just 3 minutes on foot you’re at the seafront, and it’s only a short walk from restaurants, supermarkets, and everything you need. Truly a pleasant discovery. Darwin is really kind and helped me with everything upon my arrival. Definitely worth trying the larger rooms for families too — they must be really beautiful.
