PRO: the location, the structure is very pretty, the kindness of the owner, sufficiently spacious rooms, free parking, outdoor pool CONS: wi-fi malfunctioning, bathroom and bedroom are pretty much a unique environment, the front door is malfunctioning and at times when the owners are not there you may be out

Fantastic hotel which has views over the harbour and ocean. Easy to get to from the airport with the new MyCiti bus service. The rooms are large, clean with a huge bathroom. Most have a balcony as well. Breakfast is massive and excellent.

First off have to say that Alek and Daniel, the two managers, were extremely friendly and helpful with any queries. Location brilliant and view from room amazing. Really comfy beds and pillows.

Just a 10 minute walk to the v & a waterfront with 2 great pubs at... More

All I can say is all positive things about our stay in Port View House. First of all, the staff arranged transport for us where we were met at the airport by a lovely gentleman who was very helpful with all the advice he could offer on our stay in Cape town. The guest house had a lovely garden and... More
