10/10 for this Cape Town Gem

This is a gem of a hotel. I have stayed in Cape Town many times and had not heard of it before. We gave it a try and were blown away by the quality of the room, the setting, the linen, the staff, the food, the best cocktails in SA and warm hospitality from all the staff. We would highly recommend Ocean View House. 10/10!!!

I felt like I’m staying with wealthy friends who live on a spectacular ocean-view hill, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but who also have professional staff ensuring warm yet perfect hospitality. Delicious full-service breakfast overlooking Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. Large rooms with shared terraces. Access to a play room in the evening. Secure parking. Friendly and kind staff. Location about 15 minute drive from downtown.

The view was breathtaking. Opening the curtains in the morning to the view of the ocean and mountains was worth getting out of bed every day, and having South African wine on the balcony at night was a peaceful treat. The room was well appointed and spacious, and the staff was very attentive and helpful.
