    We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was exceptionally well serviced and those running it did everything to make our stay lovely, right down to going over and beyond by arranging safe postage of items we left. Thank you.

    There was nothing not to like!

    Beautiful property, spotlessly clean. Lots of little extras such as bread, butter, jams etc and other thoughtful little extras. Safe area and easy to walk to the restaurants and beach.

    There was some traffic noise from the adjacent road.

    Merryl was a superb host and made us feel very welcome. We were surprised and thrilled to have been given an upgrade to the suite which was amazing. The location was great - a 5 minute walk to the shops, bars and restaurants. The apartment had everything you need including milk, jam and bread on arrival. Merryl also placed a bottle of fizz in our room on arrival as we were celebrating our birthdays. The views from the balcony were wonderful. Highly recommend a stay here.

    We lost 2 nights as flights cancelled coming over and then we moved to Gordon’s Bay, not nearly as nice as Campsbay!

    This is a stunning apartment in Campsbay, very close to the main sea front with shops and restaurants.. Merryl was also on hand to advise. Great view of the sea and sunsets. Will hopefully return on a future trip.

    Everything was amazing

    We had the pleasure of staying at Meryl’s beautiful space for a week and it was exactly that, a pleasure. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail was obvious ( Fresh Bread and arranged flowers, little chocolate treats to name but afew ) Meryl’s space is modern, clean and open. The quality of linens and towels was the cherry on top for us which is saying a lot as we had a daily helper who came in and cleaned/neatened. Meryl is a gracious hostess who went above and beyond with giving thoughtful and sound advice on where to eat and what activities to do during our stay. It’s evident that Meryl loves her space and takes great pride in looking after it. Thank You Meryl for making our stay even more memorable.

    We loved everything about this beautiful accomodation. A perfect location, in walking distance to the restaurants, shops and beach. Our host Meryl is so welcoming, friendly, warm and attentive. The views from our balcony are just amazing...Table Mountain and the ocean...the sunsets from the balcony are breathtaking. This is Camps Bay's finest and we cannot wait to return.

    We were really happy with our accommodation. The "studio" flat was in fact huge and very well appointed with a spacious bathroom and kitchen area. You can enjoy breakfast or a morning coffee from the outside deck area looking out to the ocean - heaven. The decor was lovely and there were thoughtful little touches everwhere. More importantly the place was immaculately clean and just a few moments walk to the central area of Camps Bay. We never felt unsafe and enjoyed being able to walk about to the cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed being located away from the city centre and all the sites and still only a short uber or drive away. The host, Meryll, was very helpful and welcoming.

    Lovely apartment equipped with everything you need and with easy parking. Location was excellent with an easy drive into Cape Town, close to Table Mt and the drive along the glorious Chapmans Peak Drive to take you further afield to Cape Point. Locally a 5 minute walk to a fabulous beach resort with choice of good restaurants.

    Cannot think of anything we didn’t like about the accommodation

    The location is really great and the accommodation is of a high standard - the owner Merryl is very welcoming and goes to great lengths to ensure you are comfortable and happy with the accommodation. She also provided complementary bread, butter, tea coffee and jam. We stayed for 6 nights and had a brilliant time in Camps Bay - the Uber taxi service is brilliant and very cheap and safe

    Nothing - everything was superb.

    As usual Merryl and Steve were excellent hosts, pleasant and helpful. The suite was very well appointed and was only a five minute walk down to the Camps Bay strip where there is a plethora of restaurants and bars. A starter pack of foods and drinks was provided which was very helpful. There were many thoughtful touches in the property including a battery powered lamp to use during the load-shedding periods. We used the sun beds on the deck and there was a stunning view down to the sea. When we left at an unearthly hour to catch an early morning flight, Steve even helped us with our luggage. What a farewell!

    we liked nearly everything. the one thing that was missing was cushions on the outside furniture it was very uncomfortable to lie on the sun loungers without taking pillows outside and around the pool. we would have liked more hooks in the bathroom to hang towels on after showering etc. All in all it’s an excellent place to stay and would definitely stay here again. The location perfect.

    About the appartment nothing. Everything was great. But if you go to Camps Bay on the weekend, book a table in advance in a restaurant as it can get quite busy.

    The host Merryll was very welcoming and friendly. The appartment was very spacious, clean and everything you could possibly need was there. Or you could ask for. We really enjoyed the little things in the room, for example jam, some bread, sweets, filtered water and beers and wines (against payment). This is as local shops in Camps Bay don't sell alcohol. Bars and restaurants of course do. The outside sitting area and view of the appartment was amazing. Communication over Whatsapp made it very easy to ask questions or get information about load shedding times. Would have loved to stay longer, but she was already booked out :( We hope to visit SA and 51 on Camps Bay again in the future.
