"An absolute gem of a hotel right in the heart of the "old town" area near Kloof Street. Beautiful colonial style design with fantastic local artwork throughout, amazing (cool) pool, honesty bar, secure on street parking (security watchmen at all times) and the most amazing helpful staff I've ever had at a hotel - emails and information on things to do, restaurants etc was outstanding. A really brilliant hotel in every way!"

Top Waterworks Museum Hotel Reviews

Exceptional holiday home with panoramic view in Camps Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous views. Safe convenient location close to everything."

The Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect area to stay with plenty of place to eat and sight see."

South Beach Camps Bay Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"By far the most thought out place I’ve been to for a stay. Artfully thought out hotel and amazing staff and experience, well worth it for the reasonable price point. Loved the art, cleanliness, room layout, views, location, people, and excellent coffee too."

Sovn Experience+Lifestyle

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property with amazing staff. Can’t recommend enough. 8 mins walk into camps bay; yes it’s a hill but think of it as your steps for the day plus you get the views of the bay as you drop down. Breakfast really fab plus pool area lovely. 5 stars to all the staff there"

Auberge Cape

10/10 Excellent

"Of course. I’d make We stayed at Auberge Guest House while supporting the England U18 Rugby Tour, and overall we had a very enjoyable and memorable stay. The absolute stars of Auberge are Chanel and Sister. They genuinely deserve a pay rise to reflect the brilliant work they do! You really could not ask for better housekeepers. They were warm, helpful and attentive throughout our stay, and their knowledge of the local area was invaluable. Whether we needed recommendations for restaurants, wines or places to visit, they were always happy to help and gave excellent suggestions. The view from the guest house is simply breathtaking – almost surreal. Waking up to that scenery was one of the highlights of our stay. The surrounding area is peaceful and relaxing, making it a lovely place to unwind. There are, however, a couple of areas that I feel could be improved. The drive up to the property is definitely not for the faint-hearted! The road/driveway would benefit greatly from resurfacing, particularly to improve tyre grip and make the approach feel safer. Breakfast was pleasant, but after staying for several days, we found it became a little monotonous. A wider variety of choices from day to day would make a noticeable difference, particularly for guests staying longer. Overall, Auberge is a beautiful place in a stunning set."

Camps Bay Village

10/10 Excellent

"Nono was very nice and helpful! We enjoyed our stay very much! Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Walkable to beach and restaurants.Quiet and safe. Great price! Definitely recommend!"

Ocean View House

10/10 Excellent

"The gardens are stunning! Room was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet had everything one would want and the staff was attentive and friendly. Perfect location for strolling down to lunch or dinner."

Sea Mount

10/10 Excellent

"Great place overlooking the ocean. Very spacious and clean. Overall excellent stay and would highly recommend"

8/10 Good
