Guest Reviews
- Fakier (9/5): - We loved waking up to the sea front with the sunrise What i didn't like was that the pool was extremely cold n dep
- Megan (10/5): -
- Megan (10/5): -
- Clark (9/5): Really good value for money! Clean, comfortable, easy access to the beach and fantastic views! - It was lovely! Views were great. As we were staying with family and it rained all of one day, it would have been nice to have an inside seating area so we could sit together. We thought even a sofa instead of a kist at the end of the bed in the penthouse would have been great. Also the outside lighting in both the penthouse and mountain view room could have been brighter. We struggled to see the cards to play. Just some thoughts.
- Chapral (6/5): -
- Gavin (1/5): We did not stay for the reasons stated above. - We cancelled our booking with agreement by the owner as the access to the property was totally unsuitable for elderly people. We are both over 80 years old and there is no way we could have stayed in this accommodation. The owner agreed with our view and stated that they would contact Booking.com to refund the payment we had made. See above.
- Aric (10/5): -
- Rene (10/5): - We loved the view especially from our room and from the different decks. It's a awkward using the pool when people are at the pent house also the entry point with decent stairs are on the pent house side.
- Lena (10/5): -
- Lee (8/5): Amazing Views - Location and Views were amazing.
Loved the Pool Area
Bed was comfortable Steps up to Apartments.
Not enough Sun Loungers for all guests to enjoy the Sun deck
Lots of Ants
- Alexander (8/5): We would definitely stay here again. Beautiful views of the bay comfortable bed, nicely stocked kitchen with tea and cof - Clean comfortable and great location Nothing to dislike
- Jackie (6/5): It was clean and had all the basics - The view was beautiful Felt the picture of the property was deceiving and no mention was made that it was located on a busy road
- fnalinci (10/5): - Great location, beautiful view.
- Emma (7/5): Good value for money - Broken tiles in dining area
- Valerie (9/5): Loved our stay here, but probably not one to repeat. - The view is exceptional from the penthouse apartment, the small kitchenette, the very clean pool, the Braai The impersonal (non) greeting (messaged details of access and never met the owners. The watered down hand and dishwashing soap. The WIFI (too poor to stream). Pretty expensive comparatively.
- Judith (10/5): -
- Luis (8/5): -
- Wayne (10/5): We'd happily return. - No words to describe this fantastic accommodation, service from Lizelle and Angela the room attendant. Amazing roof deck look outside and pools. Stunning views of beach from everywhere including pool and bedrooms. Nothing
- Malikah (10/5): Absolutely fantastic, will definitely recommend it and go back again -
- Sonja (10/5): -
- Cody (10/5): -
- Chris (8/5): -
- Natelie (10/5): - Location. Effortless check in process. Overall gorgeous property.
- pretorius (10/5): Fishoek - We loved the room, very clean and neat. Huge bed with white linen. The room has everything you need, fridge, towels, cupboard etc..The view is absolutely breathtaking. Good security to get onto the premises and your room. Beautiful view from our bay window. Pool was clean. No secure parking, you have to park in the street. There are alot of stairs, so make sure you carry light. No assistance available with luggage.
- vutlharhi (10/5): - 52 on Fish hoek, I dont know where to start
The place was very nice, clean and the view was to die for
We booked for 3 days, we received a message from Lizelle with instructions on how to get in. There was coffee, teabag and milk on the fridge. Iron, hairdryer and tissues in the bathroom.
The area is close to shops, ATm's.anything you need is there. I honestly will come back over and over again. The cleaning ladies comes everyday to clean, honesty one if the best places I have ever traveled to Nothing8

Smells like sewage ,awful.
- Xia (10/5): Excellent - Beautiful view No plug in bathroom for hair dryer
- Igor (8/5): Все понравилось. Берите Оушен только. - Оушен вью великолепен. Хотя, подустал. Второй номер брали простой. Сильно запах затхлости. И тесный.
- Christian (4/5): Die Unterkunft war gut und sauber, entsprach jedoch nicht meinem persönlichen Stil - Kommunikation mit dem Host, Anleitung zum Check in, Check in und Schlüsselablage sowie die Erklärungen vor Ort. Die Unterkunft ist wirklich zu Empfehlen für den eigenen Besuch oder jemand der viel unternimmt. War mir leider zu unklar, welches der Bilder vom Angebot zur Wohnung gehörten und welche nur der allgemeine Bereich war. Obwohl die Unterkunft einwandfrei war, traf sie nicht meinen Geschmack, mir haben insbesondere bequeme Loungemöbel oder gemütliche Sitzecken gefehlt.
Aus meiner Sicht war sie eher ungeeignet für jemand, der einfach nur entspannen oder „chillen“ möchte.
Daher bin ich auch am selben Tag wieder abgereist.
- Theresa (10/5): Loved our stay! - We loved the view from our room so much. It’s a great location and having a small kitchen was quite handy.
We didn’t meet the owner but she easily explained how we gain access to the place. Would come again
- Sisamkele (10/5): It was a great stay - The pool area Nothing
- christopher (10/5): Amazing view - Beautiful view

- NASTRO PERFORMANCE 2016 (10/5): - Sea view and environment
- Deborah (10/5): Lovely private stay . Quiet - Views Main road
- Amelia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (7/5): Good - The property is in a stunning location just across the road from the main Fish Hoek beach, making it very easy to go for early morning walks on the beach. It is on a dangerous corner, so you have to be careful pulling out. It's beautiful being able to sit on the decking at night, watching the sunset. It was a last-minute booking for us as our planned accommodation fell through, and we were really delighted having found it. There are a lot of stairs leading up to the property, which is not ideal with heavy suitcases, or for those who are less able. Please add an extension cord for the hairdryer as the flex is so short that it's impossible to dry your hair while looking in the mirror unless you move the dressing table.
- Darryl (8/5): Very good -

- Andrew (6/5): Pleasant -
- Donna (10/5): Wonderful views and gardens very private - Beautiful views and very private Lots of steps up to property but worth it for privacy and views. Don’t take large suitcase
- Tostee (10/5): Exceptional - Neat , clean Well organised apartment with spectacular view, excellent value.
- David (7/5): Good - The view was absolutely amazing . Daily maid service really welcome . Terraces were great to sit out and view , small clean pool very welcome . Welcome pack of tea , milk etc really appreciated Could be better on security lights and locking
- Carl (6/5): Neat property to stay but some work required to make it as good as it looks in the photos. A bit further away from some - Great views with easy access to the beach. Despite not meeting Lizelle, she did check that I had arrived following flight delays, which was very thoughtful. The air conditioner is a portable unit and incredibly noisy. The room was quite stuffy and needed airflow. It was impossible to sleep with it on, even when only using the fan mode.
The property has a note that it is adults only. I did not book for this reason, but observed people with young children in the unit next to mine, who were noisy.
The shower has a tiled seat in it. This collects water when you shower that floods the bathroom floor.
Access to the pool is unclear. One of the guests was very rude to me when I went to the pool and walked through her units private patio, not realising that I should’ve walked up a different staircase.
I note in an earlier review, someone mentioned a mouldy smell. I experienced the same.
- Sango (8/5): difficult to access with luggage but what a great place - no breakfast location
- Carlin (8/5): Good location for a Cape Town area holiday. - A perfect location from where to explore the are in and around Cape Town. The accommodation is very comfortable and has the self-catering facilities to enjoy meals at the unit. There are also facilities to have a "braai" (bbq) should one wish to do so. The coffee and tea supplies with daily rusks add a homely touch. There are lovely spots from where to enjoy the view. The swimming pool is oddly part of the top unit - there is a separation gate but it is not comfortable using the pool while other guests are at their unit. There are no swimming towels and a few of the bathroom towels can do with replacement.
- Chris (8/5): Very good -
- Bronwyn (9/5): Superb -
- Petria (10/5): It was sooooooo good! Had a very relaxing experience. - 1.) The code system works very well!
2.) The power tripped (possibly caused by the microwave) and Lizelle came out immediately to check etc. She is excellent! 3.) She also answered my questions very promptly. (E.g. when water was off.)
4.) The bay window with the view was the best!
5.) We very much liked the "stoep" by the kitchen. (PLease consider supplying a table cloth for the table...)
6.) Alll in all a VERY nice place and will strongly be recommended!
7.) Thank you for the container of drinking water.
8.) Beautiful, practical shower. 1.) A hook in the bathroom to hang clothes
2.) The twin beds (converted into one King size bed) could perhaps also be advertised as twin beds (3/4") and made up separately. Although there was ample space, my student son and I do not necessarily want to share a duvet. I did mention this in a message when I booked and never gor a reply. It was still comfortable, though.
3.) Please look into another storage higher up for the toilet paper. Upon arrival I blowed my nose with toilet paper and the smell was terrible. I put two and two together and realised that, because the toilet paper holder stands on the floor next to the toilet, there might have been urine droplets from previous guests on the toilet paper - stored on the floor and now in the holder for use.
4.) The hot water pressure was very weak.
5.) Round bush by steps just before entrance obstructing the pathway when you carry luggage. Safety risk.
6.) To have to be out between 10:00 and 13:00 for cleaning purposes. We know that the place needs to be cleaned, but fealt rushed in the morning to be out by 10:00.
- Phillipart (10/5): Exceptional - Loved this place! Very cozey and felt like home, beautiful views overlooking the sea and really great location close to the beach and lots of restaurants close by to walk and take an uber. The host gives you lots of recommendations for places to eat and visit whilst you are there. Everything was great about the whole experience
- Moosa (7/5): Enjoyable - Location location. Location The advert indicated availability of a hot tub which was not there.
No mention was made of the "climb" My wife is 63 years old abd has a hip problem.
- Christian (7/5): Very nice little holiday flat right at the beach with ocean view! - Very nice little holiday flat right at the beach with ocean view! Very nice and welcoming owners! There was a quite strong smell of mould every time one entred the flat especially when the windows had been closed before (we only stayed in the smalllest flat of this property - we cannot say anything about the bigger units....!!!!) and this smell was very very intense when one opened the cupboards with the cooking utensils.... Something like that can happen quickly in a coastal place and the possibility is quite high that the owners have already attended to this issue.
We did not know that the entrance to all units of this property lies quite high in a hill and that one has to walk up a narrow stairway and carry one`s luggage and one`s groceries all the way up and down....
Therefor those units are NOT recommendable for elderly guests or handicapped guests....
Apart from that: We had a great stay!
- Helen (10/5): Lovely weekend, host was super flexible. - Great location with stunning views. Short walk to the beach which was beautiful. Amazing community around the area.
- Sumit (9/5): Perfect Beach Holiday - nice location. Lots of things to do and explore nearby. Beach is nice and in walking distance. All good. No complaints.
- Stevecoad (9/5): views!! - stunning views of the bay and close to the town centre. only a little walk to the beach. a cosy place to start our holiday
- Mats (9/5): Superb - We had a very pleasant stay at 52 on Fish Hoek. The room with the sea view was excellent. Also a very kind host. Thanks a lot.
- Nontokozo (10/5): Sweet and amazing! Love the view! - The location is amazing, exactly what we neeeded!
- Ferdi (10/5): Loved the luxurious bath and sauna -
- Candice (9/5): Superb -
- Phindile (9/5): My stay was good - Warm and beautiful views The steps and that we had no kitchen hence it was there on the pictures, the fact that they were not specific while making booking that there is no kitchen. It is also far from places that attracts the tourists.
- Cas (9/5): Superb -
- Cordy_cordelia (7/5): Lovely - Very nice place. Value for money. Property owner is always available to respond. Walking up the stairs and we had a cold shower on our last day.
- Thomas (10/5): Great views - Great stay. Lovely penthouse apartment with fantastic views. We were lucky enough to see whales ans sharks swimming in the bay whilst sat on the patio of the property. Instructions on how to enter the property were clear. Good base for the Cape Pennisular.
- Tsholofelo (8/5): Very good - We had a great stay and the service we received was beyond our expectations. We didn’t get access to the pool,that really disappointed us because we chose this accommodation knowing that there’s a pool.
- Pieter (10/5): Exceptional - The veiw
- Le (10/5): Really enjoyed the view from the bedroom. -
- Fraser (10/5): I want to stay here forever to be honesr - Can I just say wow, absolutely loved our stay here. The view is to die for. Our room was cleaned everyday and the pool was amazing after a long walk and hike. There are many great things to do in the area but I loved our little haven so much, I preferred to stay in. The host is fantastic and she makes you feel so welcome. They also provide recommendations for restaurants. NOTHING, IT WAS AMAZING
- Bux (8/5): romantic with stunning veiw. - very comfy,excellent location and stunning veiw.perfect for a couple romantic getaway! more kitchenware needed.
- Chris (8/5): The location was great and it was as expected. Unfortunately the weather in Cape Town wasn't. - The Location was superb. The facilities were great Although the accommodation is advertised as a penthouse flat, I did find the stairs somewhat awkward
- Jonathan (8/5): Very good -
- Krisuj (8/5): Very good - I was surprised at how big the apartment ended up being and the view from the terrace is phenomenal, plus it's only about a 3-minute walk to the beach. The best thing for me was the incredibly nice owner who was always available to answer any questions or concerns and looked after me very nicely. Wifi could be a bit more stable, but that didn't bother me too much.
