I met up with overseas family from the UK in Cape Town and they loved Cape Town and the guesthouse. They heard so much about SA and I was glad to show them. The weather was great the week we stayed as there had been cold fronts passing so we got to go up Table Mountain and see Robben island... More

I had to visit Cape Town for the annual WISA conference and was very satisfied and happy with the guesthouse. I was traveling on my own and felt absolutely safe walking around in Sea point and there are quite a few restaurants to chose from on Main Road. Joe arranged early breakfasts for all the delegates as it turned out... More

We stayed here in November 2011 and after the reviews we'd read on here was quite excited but I have to say I was very disappointed with this B&B. Here are a few reasons why: - The room had no window apart from in the bath room making it very dark inside the house - Regardless of the name you... More

A wonderful welcome from Marius and Joe (and Beaumont the dog). Mountview was spotless, well decorated and I wanted to live in that shower with the rose the size of a family pizza! Delicious continental breaky. We stayed as a group of friends and Joe oraganised for all of us to have a massage, which was fantastic value and absolutely... More

I've been back to this guesthouse a number of times (well once a year when I visit South Africa (and Cape Town specifically). Each time I am reminded of why I don't even bother looking for other accommodation. Joe and Marius are superb hosts, go totally above and beyond what's required in terms of organising trips, helpful advice re: restuarants... More

Staying at the guesthouse was definitely a major positive contribution to our visit to Cape Town. Joe and Marius are super friendly and helpful and the guesthouse itself has a very warm and pleasant atmosphere. Breakfast was so nice and healthy and the room very clean and crisp. The area in which the guesthouse is located is very nice as... More

Absolutely perfect location to walk to the restaurants in Sea Point and the boulevard. It takes about 1 hour to walk to V&A Waterfront, but it's a nice walk along the sea. Marius & Joe are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good. The house is decorated with care. It's nice to have the pool after a warm day. Those... More

Though the "view" part of "Mountview" was missing, this is a great place to stay in Cape Town. Marius and Joe went above and beyond in providing assistance with sightseeing and with changes in my travel plans, and the morning breakfast staff were always warm and welcoming with cheerful smiles to start the day.

I knew I was being optimistic hoping for a view of the mountain from the B&B when I booked, I know not to take their names and descriptions too literally, however I was not expecting not to be able to see anything from my room due to the fact it had no windows at all!! Not only was there no... More
