The location is quiet and away from the crowded nightlife. Our family felt secluded, but still a few minutes drive from all of the action. Breakfast at the accommodation is amazing and the service is top-notch. Parking was especially easy! Parking spaces are available behind a gated entry, which means looking of street parking is not needed! Having easy parking was a huge bonus since the streets are narrow, windy, and dark. The gardens around the property are absolutely beautiful. The unique landscape design, quantity of succulents, and the tranquil views are beyond expectations and are a dreamscape.

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!!!

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.
