A mixed bag
Lindsi and her helpfulness as well as the cooked-to-order breakfast highlight this somewhat funky hotel. The location in Camps Bay is good, but you need to be in pretty good shape to make the trek down to town and the beach and back. Of course there's always Uber. The bed, advertised as a queen, was actually 2 separate twins that couldn't be joined and not all that comfortable.

Just the right place!
I'm very satisfied with Villa Surprise. It's just the type of guest house I was looking for: homely and quite spacious (room and garden); very pleasant and helpful staff and owner and a perfect location away from the hubbub of beach road Camps Bay. The rooms have a lot of character, which is no bad thing in these days of increasing uniformity. Breakfast was good, with cooked breakfast available. The only thing I would suggest is a small fridge in the rooms, to keep one's own food purchases cool and fresh.

Nice stay for 3 nights
We had a very pleasant stay at Villa Surprise. The staff and owner were very professional and attentive to our needs. The only improvements we can think of is the breakfast choices which are few and the timing. This is the first place I ever stayed worldwide that serves breakfast at 8:30. If you are a tourist you want to be on and about by that time. Everything else was great.
