We spend 4 nights and stayed in the Panorama Suite 18, which in our opinion was probably the best room in the house. Very spacious, separate livingroom and bedroom, amazing and spacious bathroom and large balcony with uninterupted seaviews. In the evening we were able to see the sun set in the Atlantic Ocean from our room and we could... More

Very easy to find. We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our trip. We were very pleasantly suprised to be upgraded to a fantastic suite but by all accounts all of the rooms are amazing with great views. My only regret was that we were not there longer to enjoy the pool and relax. All the staff... More

We finished our South African trip with a relaxing stay at Ocean View. We were impressed by the very helpful staff, well-equipped room and bathroom and the beautiful gardens. The breakfast was wonderful with the best fruits and croissants we had in all our holiday, together with a choice of cooked delights to order. It was a pleasure to cool... More

We stayed here for 3 nights on arriving from the UK. We had a lovely pool deck room. The food was exceptional and cooked freshly to order. The chef was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. As it was raining when we arrived he brought a map to our table after breakfast with suggestions of where to visit.... More

We stayed at the Ocean View Guest House during our second stay in Cape Town, and at the same time the last 4 days in South Africa, mid-September 2011. We booked the Panorama suite and had two rooms with a big balcony and beautiful bathroom. The third bed was made in the living room at no additional cost and the... More

Our second year to stay at Ocean View and once again amazing! What a joy it was for us to drive through the gates and be met by such wonderful people. The staff cannot do enough to help and are so friendly. The suites are magnificently furnished and the addition of the chef is the icing on the cake. We... More

Ocean view is in Bakeoven, 1.2kms south of Camps which is perfect for walking off Lorenzo's fantastic breakfast. This place is amazing, we were on the top floor with stunning views of 12 apostles behind & ocean in front. Lam did everything he could to make us laze about in the beautiful gardens. The photos say it all. As a... More

Having looked at the photos on trip advisor I didn't believe the views...but the setting is fantastic, the 12 Apostles behind and the ocean in front. As the sun sets the mountains turn orange, it's lovely. The gardens too are beautiful. Big "tick" for the staff, all very nice, I declined help with my bags when checking in, but later... More

What a lovely surprise as we entered the gates of the Ocean View guest house! The variety of rooms set in beautiful landscape gardens will appeal to all tastes and pockets. Set in the hillside the views of the ocean are stunning. Ocean View is located in the quiet location at the top of Camps Bay but it is within... More

What a fantastic place to stay. If you are looking for guest house accommodation near Camps Bay then I highly recommend Ocean View. Great location about 1/2 a mile from Camps bay with stunning views, great staff - friendly and helpful, clean modern and spacious rooms with attention to detail. The garden was something else. The only thing I would... More
