Guest Reviews

• Mohamed-Ali (1/5): Walk away from this flat - The location is great, close to the restaurants but not in the overcrowded area of camps bay. Access is easier Good bed, very comfortable Spacious studio Too many things: - The flat is very dark as there is no direct lights from outside. The artificial garden do not bring any light as it is underground. Do not believe the pictures, they are photoshopped to be brighter - the management company (Nox) did not bother to come and change bulbs that did not work while we asked for it on arrival. We had to shower in the dark - only one set of keys is provided that closes only one lock out of two on the door, and this lock seems to have been forced in the past. Does not feel very safe - humidity everywhere in the bathroom - the flat is not well maintained, all the furniture is warped or damaged. Last but not least: the Nox team refused to offer us a few hours of late check out unless we pay half a day while the flat was empty until next day (confirmed by their own agent).
• WENTAO (3/5): 这是我们在南非住过的地方里面体验最差的一家（和这个价格比起来，太不值得）。也是住过的唯一一家要求线上支付押金，给一个有问题的网址自己线上check-in的。 入住当天，下午2点多，让我们在烈日下暴晒着等着他们开门等了20多分钟，按门铃一直 -
• J SERN (8/5): Camps Bay - 3 Memorable Nights - Location wise excellent - few mins to Bakoven Beach and around 10 + minutes leisurely walk to Camps Bay Beach and its main strip of bars/restaurants/grocers. Design was modern and comfy, hosts responsive and they allowed us an early check in which was a small bonus. Overall nice and comfortable enough for 2 pax but for a few lacking touches. The toilet had mouldy walls and felt like bad upkeep, informed the hosts but wasn't addressed. Space lacks a view and can be claustrophobic for some individuals, there is a sunlight garden in but it offers no view or windows out. Hair dryer was also broken. It is also part of a multi storey beach house, and we had some loud noises from the floors above late into the evening.
• Mary (7/5): -
• Beverly (6/5): Pleasant - Location was good The place was Very noise , never had house keeping come to the studio even though it was included in the booking
• Phindile (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vinodkumar (8/5): Very good -
• Mthimkhulu (9/5): Superb -
• Isaac (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marlene (8/5): - Perfect views, great communication, close to a gorgeous coffee shop and beaches. Would book there again.
• Carol (10/5): - Blue views studio has a new feel, very clean, user friendly, safe and comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen, but had 2 electric hobs, microwave/combined oven and fridge. Beds were very comfortable. There are paid security wandering the streets for safety 24/7. Be aware the Uber/taxi will deliver you to the back of the property in another street. You will need to be aware of the exact location so they pick/drop off at the correct address. Also be aware NOX will send you emails to access the property, and the property needs to be paid 2 weeks before - not at property as Expedia instructs. Supehog will email you separately to pay the damage waiver. I hope Expedia add this to their instructions. All in all, I would recommend this property in Bakoven as a stay within walking distance to Camp’s Bay (during daylight hours).
• Eileen (8/5): - Pretty view of ocean. Great kitchen and terrace! It wraps around to 180 degree view of the mountains and ocean. Bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner. Some mold was on the grout. The inside windows were a bit dirty. Other than that, it was a great stay! Plenty of room!
• Dawn (10/5): - The property managers were very attentive and helpful. We arrived around 11:30 pm and they met us for check in which was very smooth. The property was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable for my family. I will definitely go back.
• Diana (10/5): - Eine wunderbare Unterkunft in einer sicheren Umgebung mit vielen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Die Wohnung ist sehr gepflegt, geräumig und im guten Zustand. Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend.
• Sarah Jane (10/5): - Brilliant penthouse apartment with amazing views towards the beach and the sun set every evening. Very short walk (5 minutes) to restaurants, bars and the supermarkets on Camps Bay Great communication from Blue Views, lovely reception team, safe parking in garage under property and we’ll definitely be coming back.
• Jassine (10/5): - What shall I say - the best ever !!!!
• Catherine (10/5): Glorious property - Absolutely phenomenal. Would recommend and will stay again when next back
• hassan (2/5): - Many issues! Provided incorrect check-in address. Dropped off at night in a country with large crime, totally exposed with our luggage until a neighbor told the address was wrong. Had to get taxi again to the right address. Given incorrect keys for our unit, & one set was incomplete. They keys became an unfixed issue by host during our stay. They don’t tell you on listing that air conditioning & lights do not work for up to 6 hours a day as they don’t have generators like hotels do. Unknown to us, this area has power outages almost daily. THIS SHOULD BE LISTED. Even the elevator stops working, and if you are in it. You are stuck! When elevator stops working, u can no longer enter condo even from the front door. We were stranded outside with our kids in heat for an hour until host finally could get us in. All because there is no key for a top deadbolt that only locks from the inside. Not even host had key for this. Never enough towels every day we have to ask for more to be brought back. One per bathroom, when u need 2 per bathroom. There is small pool but u have to ask for pool towels daily. The bed sheets are never tucked into the corners properly so they peel off during sleep because they are a complete size too small. WiFi & TV went out, took them 2 days to fix, we had to spend money on data packages. Also asked for my credit card number outside of VRBO messaging, in WhatsApp, a week after my stay. When they didn’t need it for anything associated with my stay.
• Emmy (10/5): Believe In God - Feel like a little home. The workers are very helpful
• Vincent (10/5): - Amazing villa (the place) great staff beautiful house really clean
• Jane (10/5): - We loved the position, huge amounts of space, free garage parking space, serviced every day. The kitchen was a little under equipped - guessing people eat out mostly. Otherwise, perfect!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing place and location - We absolutely loved this place. Let me just start out with the one negative. I was under the impression that we had the penthouse upstairs as pictured. There was nothing in the reservation process that told me otherwise and I was certain that’s what we had, but it wasn’t the case. We had the middle unit which was still 4 bedrooms. Aside from that, this place was perfect. The checkin process was seamless and smooth, the place was immaculate, little touches just added to the experience ie outlet adapters for foreigners, etc. The office was very helpful, for example with arranging our transport to the airport, also late one night when we needed to local number to order food in, the security person came to help us out. They couldn’t have been any better. The location in camps bay was also amazing and picturesque. This was a great location and made our stay in Cape Town just perfect.

• Verified traveler (10/5): - The apartment was very comfortable and clean. Staff excellent and very helpful
• STUART (10/5): Great Apartment - Great apartment. Close to fantastic included pool area with bar and food available.
• Kevin (10/5): Amazing Penthouse overlooking Camps Bay - Stayed in Penthouse 4. 3 Bedrooms located over two floors. Balcony is great. Loved our stay. Nice furnishings with all you need in the unit. Great location right in the heart of Camps Bay (but still relatively quiet street). Great base for seeing Cape Town.
• Guy (6/5): - Creepy place at night. Not much happening there even if close to Camps Bay. Food left for breakfast was ok. Never saw the manager. He knocked at the door early on the first morning and we asked him to come back as we needed sleep. Never heard of him again for 3 days. Place is ok but would not recommend.
• Guy (10/5): A piece of heaven - I checked in on a cold, winters afternoon for a short but sweet visit. Upon arrival I was graciously greeted and showed around my 'pad' for the weekend. Located in the heart of Camps Bay this unique self catering unique is truly a little piece of heaven. A mere stones throw away from one of Cape Towns finest beaches as well as the vibrant Camps Bay lifestyle you cant help but feel like you are on vacation. There are some incredible restaurants and bars within walking distance adding value to the experience. The unit itself is modern, clean and secure fitted with all the amenities essential for any traveller/guest. Waking up to that fresh, sea breeze was the cherry on top of a wonderful stay.Highly recommend and will be back soon for sure!
• Birgit R. (8/5): Location Location Location - The apartment is beautifully furnished and well appointed. It has all you need, and the added grocery items left in the refrigerator and kitchen is a nice touch to get your vacation started. The location is amazing and one can easily walk to beaches, stores and restaurants. The place feels a little bit like a hole underground because there are no windows with any views. What you see in the pictures in what you get. But we hardly spent any time in our place. The reason for the four starts is that 1. the place is run like a hotel and there is little to no flexibility to changing check out times. 2. there is no place to plug in the hair dryer in the bathroom, so one needs to use the hairdryer either in the living room or on the bed, but nowhere near a mirror :)...first world problems, I know.
• Henrietta (8/5): Modern apartment with sea views, great value! - Great apartment for the price, easy walking distance to main restaurants and beach. Includes use of nearby hotel facilities, including pool and gym. There was a strong drain smell in the apartment at times, however I noticed the same smell in a few ground and first floor buildings when we were in the area, and I think it is related to the severe drought.
• walid (6/5): Felt insecure - Place and location are amazing but felt insecure because maintenance entered studio 3 what were I am renting without asking me while I were out with my family and no body is in the room with all our stuff everywhere in the room.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice apprtment, no view. - Very nice apartment, very nice location, Was not easy to find the apartment when we arrived, the apartment is spacious, very nice furniture, lot of comfort, however, no view at all I was expecting from the hotel name and the relatively high price that I will have a nice view over the Ocean, the flat is in the ground floor , not a single window, there is a sort of Patio at the entrance but a bit noisy as it is close to the road. we met one guy from the staff when we checked in and that's it.
• Russell (10/5): Excellent stay by Beach - Loved it here. So easy, unfussy and perfect location. The staff can’t do enough for you without being intrusive. Really excellent place. Free laundry, electric bike usage and soft drinks all a nice bonus
• Lyne (6/5): Needs a bit of love - At arrival, we were disappointed. No reception area. Had to call. We were directed to the wrong place. Called again to be told that we were at the right place at first. The place is a bit run-down. Those who had a pool were empty. The location of the balcony is on the side of the kitchen. Not very inviting, especially that it was quite messy. It seems that no one is taking care of the external cleanliness. The exterior paint on the building showed leaks of rust. The cleaning lady only came once every two days. There was a big chunks of dust in the closet that stayed there the entire time. Owen, who welcomed us was very pleasant and helpful. There was a big party at the apartment on top of us with visitors who kept ringing our buzzer by mistake and it was quite noisy. Luckily, it only lasted that specific night. Nice view on the ocean. Large and pleasant living room. Well located in Camps Bay. Walking distance to restaurants, beach and touristic hub.
• Lavesh (6/5): No 4-star, wrong address, no reception, no parking - About the apartment: This is definitely not a 4-star accommodation compared to many other 4-starers on very same hotels.com. The address mentioned is different; it is 5, Victoria Road, Clifton and not 6, link road; which, seems to be a 4-star hotel. This was the most disappointment as we trusted mainly on hotels.com for our last minute booking and didn't call the host before booking the apartment. The apartment is literally at road with not much security, road is just 2 doors and 2 steps away from the apartment. And worst case was every night car stayed on the roadside parking under excuses of the parking is full, which means the unit has no dedicated parking, another false statement on hotels.com. After complaining about car parking; we had been asked to come next(our last) day, to office (on link rd) to solve this instead of them solving it upfront. About the interiors: There was a continuous bad odor in toilet; couldn't figure what it was; but, zillion thanks to good quality freshener, had to use it continuously. Also, if anyone is going to not only use the room for overnight stay and if it matters to them, then they should pay attention to the inconvenient interiors of the apartment; where everything is artistically misplaced like kitchen-sink and kitchen-platform are at opposite end of each other; microwave, washbasin and glasses are immediately next to toilet door; couch is facing back to TV; kitchen-platform is at opposite end to fridge, microwave and toaster.
• E. (10/5): Hard to stay in Capetown any other way. - Location, quality, amenities and price all in one!
• Sam (10/5): Excellent - This is an amazing place. The views from the penthouse are jaw dropping. The sunsets are amazing as well.
• Dennis (8/5): Apartment recommended - Camps Bay was a great location - a real contrast from our previous days in the centre of Cape Town. Lots of restaurants and a good beach. The apartment made a good change from staying in a hotel.
• Christine (10/5): Lovely property - Very tastefully decorated property. If arriving late be sure to bring food and beverages. The closest grocery store is a 10+ walk to a grocery store. Not sure when it closes. Five or so lovely restaurants are near the grocery store. Walking down to the restaurants is fine but a taxi or uber is better after dinner. If you have guests that have trouble walking up stairs be aware this place has two levels of stairs to get around. No property support staff are on property after 5 or 6 pm.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Late November Beach Vacation - Wanted to stay close to the beaches and Camps Bay (just a short cab's drive away) and have an ocean view, and got exactly that.
• Kevin (10/5): Great Apartment - The apartment was a great find. Good location within an easy 10 minute walking distance of the main Camps Bay beachfront. Everything needed to self cater but why bother with so many great eating places on the doorstep? The Hussar Grill does a great steak and the seafront has some wonderful eateries. Codfather is a must for fish and seafood lovers. The staff at Blue Views are delightful and the bed was mega-comfortable. We will definitely stay here again. Don't forget to pack Nespresso coffee capsules to use in the apartment machine!!
• Lee-Ann (8/5): - Great location, friendly staff. Would stay again.
• Shinn (10/5): Luxurious apartment with an amazing view. - Out of four places we stayed at in Cape Town, this was the best. We stayed here for five days beginning on a Sunday near the beginning of Cape Town winter. When we arrived, we were greeted by very helpful staff and shown the amenities of the apartment. The apartment was very roomy and luxurious. It had a comfortable bedroom, very stylish bathroom, a fully equipped galley kitchen, and an outside deck. The living room was very spacious and modern with an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean on a clear day. A flat screen TV and high speed WIFI to keep one entertained when not appreciating the outside view. Heading to the beach and the ocean was just a short walk from the outside of our doors. Or if we prefer to drive, a parking space is provided just below our apartment. This is one place we will definitely want to stay at again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good spot - Good check in process, helpful staff, easy access by foot to Camps Bay.
• Javier (10/5): Great place close to the Ocean & Town Centre - Staying in Camps Bay is great, staying in Camps Bay in a very cozy small hotel that offers the peaceful ambience that we were looking for was even better. Being so close to the sea (literally across the street) and so close to the Town's Centre gave us the opportunity to do a lot of staff at our own pace. A great culinary offer, beautiful beach, cool bars and close to Cape Town. The friendly people, the cultural performers on the street, the cool vibe was amazing so that did the rest! Camps Bay is a great place to stay close to the main Cape Town attractions and in the way to the great Cape adventures. For me and my wife was fantastic to come back after 8 years to Cape Town and be able to stay at this paradisiac and beautiful town. We love Camps Bay!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Beautiful area, comfortable stay. - Enjoyable stay. Beautiful surroundings and great safe location close to cafe', restaurants and local theater. Short scenic drive to Cape Town. Management friendly and professional. Room was very comfortable. Hope to be back soon. Check out all the BLUE VIEWS accommodation options available in the area.
• id (10/5): Great rooms near to camps bay - Nice spacious apartments with balcony. About a 10-15min walk to camps bay. Safe to walk at night. Secret beta beach across the road!
• Stephanie (8/5): Great Stay - We had a real nice stay at Blue Views. Wonderfull staff, rooms really nice. We even had an upgrade for 2 nights as we had a little problem with our television which was fixed right away. Thanks again for a great stay and keep up the good work!
• Grant (10/5): Great Stay, Fantastic Service - We had a really great time, and Reggie and his colleagues were outstanding with the service they gave us. The property is ideally located near Camps Bay and very quick to pop over the mountain to the City Centre.
• Carlos (10/5): Great Location, wonderful place, nice staff! - This is an amazing place to stay. I almost didn't want to rate it because I don't anyone else to know how awesome it is. Keep it available for next time I return. Cant recommend this place enough.
