Arrived earlier than the official check in time to be met by the friendliest hotel reception we have ever experienced! The reception area itself was stunning, great views over the beach and a relaxing bar to watch the sunsets. Everywhere was spotless, very modern and comfortable. Our room (202) was great, with views of the mountains from one side of the balcony and the beach on the other. I could have sat on the balcony all day to be honest (the room came with a fridge stocked with beer and...

The apartments are privately owned and then rented out to visitors - our apartment was a 1 bedroom with a lovely living/lounge/kitchen area with a parking space. We stayed for 3 nights - it has very good security and the grounds are very well kept - there is a pool area central to the apartment blocks - though there were no sun loungers or even seats so had to take our beach towels to sit on. The shopping mall is close by - plenty of food outlets as well as supermarkets, pharmacy etc. Not all...

Excellent hotel with fantastic staff, standards, great location and value for money.
We have stayed in many larger more expensive hotels, yes they may have more facilities however we have never come across such a great team of staff. Add to this also excellent standards again that put many so called premium hotels to shame.
The team are also excellent with children making for a great place to stay for families. While we where there it was our daughters 4th birthday. We got back having...

Great area and property ! Travelled from the uk with family to Cape Town on holiday . Everything in apartment was fine except they could do with having fans or AC. Especially for those of us coming from colder climates not used to the heat there. Check in process could be better too . Overall safe area with a lot of security, it’s a gated community so you feel very safe .

I cannot recommend this place -
Highly enough.
Super hosts, (Pia and Paul) fantastic friendly staff, awesome chef (Mike). And the Kunjani Shiraz is to die for 👍
Definitely coming back (if they will have me!) 😁

Very friendly check in at the hotel - gave us a full tour and showed us the key features in the room. Excellent club lounge with drinks and nibbles during happy hour. Comfortable and well maintained.

I was delighted when I arrived at Ocean View House. Everything, from the drive in to the room and hotel facilities, was lovely and far exceeded my expectations. I was very sorry to be staying for only one night at the end of my 3 weeks in South Africa. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome and special as one of their guests. The room was enormous with a large bed and comfortable lounge area - and there was a 2nd room too! Breakfast and lunch very good quality and...

Beautiful quiet hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but just a short ride away by Uber. The staff are exceptional and extremely helpful - especially Joy who always greeted us in the morning with a huge smile. There is a great choice on offer for breakfast and the food is really good. Would certainly recommend a stay here.

My husband and I spent nine days in beautiful St. James Manor. We booked through Expedia and expected a small room, but I think we were upgraded as our room (Boyes) was large and beautifully appointed, with a view of the sea. This guest house is absolutely gorgeous. The furnishings are tasteful and reflect the historical nature of this beautiful house, which belongs to Rovos Rail. Our beds were large and very comfortable. The bathroom was huge and spotlessly clean, with a large walk-in shower...

Stayed here due to work at CTICC and the Cruise Terminal. Hotel is literally 30 metres from the Conference Centre and only 10 minutes drive to the cruise terminal. Also has a shuttle to the V&A waterfront if you want to shop or see some restaurants. Staff excellent and restaurants and room service were good with varied menus.

Simply the best first night in a foreign country experience we've ever had. Jayne and Le Roux are the perfect people to work in hospitality and the attention to detail was unbelievably outstanding. The whole property is absolutely amazing and it's far more than just a hotel - the experiences offered from the meals to the wine tasting to the runner duck watching (has to be seen to be believed) are fantastic and they set the bar for the rest of our time in South Africa very high indeed.
