My wife and I stayed for 5 night in the garden suite in August 2024. It is without doubt one of my favourite rooms I’ve ever stayed in of any hotel anywhere in the world. It is so peaceful and spacious and beautiful with incredible views. The whole guesthouse is so clean and beautiful with lovely outdoor spaces and truly brilliant service. Supreme and everyone we encountered were truly first class! We completely fell in love with Cape Town and with ocean view! I will be returning and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a comfortable and relaxing stay in a brilliant area of a great city.

6/10 Good

Our stay and experience at Ocean View House felt quite sub-par vis a vis the level of service offered given the price we paid. Perhaps the hotel has not yet recovered post-pandemic. Things to note that we hadn't realized: - Spa service, while technically on-site, requires calling someone in to provide the required services (was previously under the impression it was a fully functional spa). - The "honesty" bar is nicely appointed but lacked key ingredients that seemed strangely unobtainable while we were there. - Breakfast is included but with minimal service. Things we enjoyed: - The view, although it feels like you can get this anywhere in Cape Town as soon as you walk out the door. - The bed was amazing! Would likely not stay here again given the underwhelming level of service and interest in staying somewhere more central to the Camps Bay strip.
