    Everything was perfect!

    We absolutely loved everything about Ocean View House. We wish we could have stayed here for our entire trip! The hotel is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and chic. The views of the Twelve Apostles from the pool deck are absolutely breathtaking. The location is great - we felt very safe and loved walking to Bootleggers and Beta Beach. Every single staff member we encountered during our stay was incredibly friendly and helpful. Special shoutouts to Marshall, Supreme, and Wilson! We can't say enough wonderful things about OVH!

    Most amazing views overlooking the Atlantic ocean and the 12 apostle mountains behind you. Surrounded by beautiful gardens. Very friendly staff. Good choice at breakfast and honesty bar available. In a good location with bars and restaurants at camps bay near by. About a 15 minute Uber gets you into the town centre/waterfront.

    Nothing! The only one small complaint I’d have is the early check out time which is 10.30 am I’m used up a midday check out time.

    Beautiful and idyllic spot away from the hustle and bustle. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. It has a very homely feel with amazing gardens and the food is excellent.

    We loved everything about Ocean View House! The views from the breakfast terrace (and from the balcony) are breathtaking. The rooms are spacious, very clean and in great condition. The breakfast itself was fantastic, fresh and of high quality. We had our own car, so the private (and gated) parking space was amazing and free of charge. But most important - the staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgable and super helpful. We almost stayed a week and were more than sad when we had to leave, since we felt super comfortable, welcomed and super relaxed at Ocean View House. On our next trip to SA we'll definetely stay here again :-)

    Staff were very sweet and helpful. Rooms were lovely, newly renovated, nice view, perfect location for a walk along the front in the morning with a coffee, takes 2 minutes by Uber to get to Camps Bay beach . Breakfast was 10/10, chef was cute he came out to say hi and have a chat now and then. Couldn't fault the stay at all.

    We found the load shedding situation wasn’t ideal - essentials such overhead lights and WiFi were maintained which was really useful! But wall plugs and the aircon were not so we ended up with a couple of periods of time (2-4 hours) without aircon or access to charging phones / plugs to use for hairdryer and straighteners

    Good location, lovely staff, the room and en-suite were always clean and good quality. Great pools and lovely views of sea and table mountain
