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.

I had high expectations of Ocean View House based on previous reviews, and even then my expectations were exceeded. What an incredible place! My husband and I stayed there for a week with our 10 month old baby in February and we could have easily stayed another week. The setting, the service, the location - just everything - amazing. After just one day, the staff would automatically get our baby a high chair ready and waiting before we even arrived for breakfast, they paid such attention to our little boy, and on the occasions that we were ourselves with him would to anything to help. Something not mentioned in previous reviews, but a huge bonus for us, was that it was a 10km stunning and flat walk to the V&A. We walked this a few times to give our baby time to nap in his buggy and loved all the stops on the way. Easy enough to get an Uber home. We were also lucky enough to attend one of the dinners that the owners (lovely people!) but on for their guests every fortnight, it was a communal table, and truly one of the best meals we have ever eaten. Again, everyone made our baby feel so welcome. As well as breakfast, we had lunch their a couple of times, which was delicious. I could go on and on, but don’t hesitate to book this gem. Thank you for the memories OVH, we can’t wait to return one day ❤️
