“Excellent place to stay”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

We spent almost a week along with 3 other couples during April. Ocean View House not only provided wonderful accommodation in a great location but the assistance they gave us during a medical emergency went way beyond the call of duty. Fabulous breakfast with the most amazing range of fruits on offer - the best I have ever experienced! A... More

“Great B&B a short walk from Camps Bay”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

We stayed at Ocean View with our two young daughters, 2 and 4, over Easter and had a really nice time. We took one of the suites which was perfect for the kids as the bedroom and living areas were separated by sliding doors and there was a small kitchenette so that we food make small meals for the kids...

Dear Alexkafka, thank you for the great feedback! Yes, the Milkwood suite is indeed ideal for a family with children as this room is the only room that has a kitchen and the possibility to separate the sleeping area from the lounge area! All in all a very spacious room. We welcome kids of all ages! Looking forward to welcome... More

“Lovely stay, thanks!”

Reviewed 6 April 2013 via mobile

Lovely room and a really pretty setting. We liked the gardens and the hammocks! Fab breakfast by the pool area (unfortunately a little too chilly to get in...). It is a five minute or so drive to Camps Bay but is great value for the quality of the place. Amazing staff too, so helpful.

Lovely Review, thanks!!!! :-) Liz, thank you for the feedback - although we are heating the pool with solar panels it does cool down quickly again, when it is cloudy during the day and cool at night! At least still a touch warmer than the Atlantic Ocean ;-) Hope to see you again sometime Camps Bay greetings Katrin Ludik More

“Perhaps not quite what we hoped for, but very good”

Reviewed 27 March 2013

We finished our holiday in South Africa with 6 nights at Ocean View. Whilst it had many good points, we were a bit disappointed with the room we got, but perhaps we had been spoilt elsewhere! Our room was described as "luxury" room, but it fell short of the luxury we had experienced at other hotels in SA. It was... More

“Great gateway to the western cape.”

Reviewed 23 March 2013

We stayed for 3 nights in the Ocean View Guest house and used it as a gateway to explore the western cape. The location is great (you can take the Ocean view quite literally), as is the service that is delivered by the very friendly staff. The only minor thing to be aware of is the lack of a restaurant...

Dear Flomilie Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your stay and experience at Ocean View House. The Ocean View House, indeed, offers unobstructed ocean View from either your private terrace or balcony. We do offer light lunch, daily, from 12h to 15h, but as you mention, Camps Bay is about 1.5 km walk to our... More

Immaculate gardens to greet you after a hectic day. Fantastic power breakfast to keep you going for the day. Love the idea of blueberries, raspberries and wonderful seasonal fruits. The coffee is delicious (always judge a venue by their coffee)

Dear Leighanne, I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us and still had the time to write a review:-) Yes, I agree the breakfast offers a great variety and can be "dangerous" at times ;-) Todays special was sautéed apple with bacon - a combination that is so delicious!!
