My stay at Ocean View House was nothing short of fantastic! The location offered amazing views and the quality of service was really good, making my experience nice.

I had a great stay at Ocean View House, which truly lived up to its name with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The location is fantastic, surrounded by beautiful gardens, although it took a bit of a walk to reach the restaurants in Camps Bay. The room was spacious and well-designed, but I did find some privacy issues due to the sunbeds outside my patio area. Overall, I'm pleased with my experience, though there are a few areas for improvement. 🌊🌺

I had a really nice stay overall at Ocean View House, though some hiccups affected my experience. The location was stellar, nestled in Bakoven and close to Clifton Beach, but I ran into some booking issues that dampened my initial excitement. The private balcony and hot tub in my Panorama Apartment were definite highlights, offering beautiful views of the surrounding area, but the bathroom layout was a bit odd. Despite this, the staff were incredibly friendly and the breakfast was a delight.
