We had an amazing stay at Lion’s Eye and cannot wait to return on our next trip to Cape Town! The staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary unforgettable. Room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and the hotel breakfast was delicious which was enjoyed over beautiful views of Camp’s Bay. A true boutique hotel experience.

The guest house is located about 5 minutes walk from the main strip, with coffee shops, bars and restaurants of Camps Bay/Bakoven within 5-10 mins walk. The setting is stunning with The Apostles just behind the guest house and the sea view in front. The owners and the staff are all friendly and welcoming, with a well stocked "honesty bar", and a buffet breakfast with freshly cooked choices of additional menu items. Camps Bay itself has possibly the best fish restaurant I've ever been to (The Codfather) and a good mix of bars and restaurants, plus a small shopping mall. I stayed in the centre of Cape Town for most of my stay in the area, but enjoyed the couple of days in Camps Bay immensely, and the guest house was an integral part of that.

Could be a stunning place to stay, but it is not super clean, art work is poor, feeling is of a semi-abandoned gorgeous contemporary home that could, with little effort, be made to be utterly stunning and superior with better on-site management and focus on details. Owner are absentee and it shows.

My wife and I stayed in the Penthouse Suite for our honeymoon in Cape Town. This hotel was amazing. The room in absolutely incredible. The balcony in enormous with a nice hot tub on it and the view is stunning. The service here is first class. We had a late flight in and they had no problem accommodating a late check in for us. We loved the honor bar and the breakfast was excellent. Next time we are in Cape Town we will be staying here again in the same room.

I stayed 2 nights in the Atlantic room. It was fantastic. The room was huge, modern, clean and had the best view. The house had a sumptuous breakfast and was close to several restaurants and a Woolworth's. The beach was within a 15 minute walk as was the Hop on, Hop off sightseeing bus stop.

Checked out yesterday and this is certainly one of the best places that I have ever stayed in which is saying something as I am on the road around 50% of my time. A very warm welcome from the property manager Calvin so thank you for that. All the staff were so pleasant, immaculately dressed and highly engaging. My room was outstanding with one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept in. Rooms are huge and very well appointed with all the amenities you would expect of a 5 star hotel anywhere in the world. There are plenty of seating areas dotted around so perfect for business travellers and holidaymakers alike. Breakfast didn't disappoint and I didn't make full use of it because my appetite was beaten! However, the range of food and breakfast was quite incredible and the quality, simply outstanding. Security-there is an individual up and over garage for each resident's are anyone worried about this issue needn't. I was very impressed with the security on the property. As for the location, elevated views right over Camps Bay from where you can see the most incredible sunsets and have a glass of wine (trust bar) at your leisure. I would have no hesitation of recommending this place to all of my friends and will certainly endeavour to stay here again next time I am in Cape Town. I hope my photographs do this some justice I would like to close by thanking all of the staff for making me incredibly welcome and looking after me during my stay. Thank you

We stayed in the penthouse and the room/view was absolutely amazing. It's a beautiful property. BUT I made the mistake of leaving 3 of my credit cards in a semi-secret compartment of my suitcase one day while we were out. All 3 cards I left in the room that day now have had fraudulent transactions attempted on them. The head maid wasn't the nicest to us and made us a bit uncomfortable while we were checking in. Now knowing they went through my suitcase and copied my card info would most likely keep us from staying with them again.

Place has amazing view. Its away from v&a waterfront so its not for everyone. Our concern was the bedsheets and towels. There were stains on the sheets and towel were old and worn. The manager was able to address our conerns the next day.

The good: the view from the penthouse where we stayed was amazing. The bedrioom and livingroom was very spacious and the closets were plentiful. Wayne, the assistant manager was great. The not so good: The property was not well kept. The glass around the deck was dirty, there were water stains all around, the panels to the hot tub were barely hanging on and there was bird crap on the balcony. In addition, there are no umbrellas or awnings on the balcony. You couldnt stay out there too long during the day because the sun covered the entire space. The grout in the shower was black instead of white. The floors throughout were dusty and dirty, the bed cover was dirty, and the closets smelled weird. It was as if they didnt known we were coming and i booked this room since August... The staff and service: Everyone was friendly. The room attendant never changed the bed covering, never provided hand towels and wash cloths, never restocked the glasses and coffee mugs, and definitely never mopped the floor or cleaned the balcony. She graciously washed our clothes, but ruined every pastel item i had. I appreciate the complimentary breakfast, unfortunately it was subpar, so we just went out for breakfast each day.

Very accommodating and helpful service. Enjoyed the breakfast (broad options on buffet and a good selection to order by menu). A pleasant and relaxing stay with a short walk to the beach/restaurants and amazing views from the comfort of our room and public spaces.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Guest house was as seen in pictures and at a high standard. My only complaint would be the bathroom with no blinds or tinted windows, which is clearly visible to guests in the penthouse. Otherwise all great, fabulous helpful staff.

This is one of the few places I’ve stayed that looks exactly like the photos. The guest home is located on a hill in Camps Bay with gorgeous views of the ocean. The premises are clean and breathtaking. Looks like something out of a magazine. The staff was friendly and make a delicious breakfast. Loved our brief stay here!

We enjoyed our short stay at Houghton View. The room was huge and very well equipped and the staff were really friendly. The Hussar Grill is close for dinner and does excellent steak! The beach is also only a short walk with more dinner options. The sunset from the hotel is amazing!

It is, in effect, a very beautiful large house where you have a bedroom. There are no staff around (except when they serve a fabulous breakfast!) which makes it feel like you have the place to yourself. This might not suit everyone but we loved the feeling! The views are even more stunning than the house and if tranquility is what you are after, this is as close to heaven as you will find.

We spent a night in the Penthouse at Houghton View on our way through Cape Town on our way to Kynzna and it was amazing. Charl gave us a a lovely welcome and nothing was to much trouble for him. The views from the deck outside were fantastic and we invited friends to enjoy the sunset with a glass of champagne. I would be happy to recommend everything about the residence. It is very conveniently located in Camps Bay within walking distance to all of the restaurants and attractions. Great facilities. Thank you Charl and the team. Very best wishes Adam

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this place is! The staff was great, they were able to recommend everything, were always available and extremely polite and grateful. The rooms were beautifully decorated, very modern and up to date. The views were stunning! From the Penthouse suite we saw views of Table Top mountain, Lion's head and the 12 Apostles. The architecture was just stunning! The house is located in the up and coming, well sought after area of Camps Bay. It's a short 10 minute walk down the hill to the beach where there are lots of restaurants to choose from - all have amazing food! The walk back up is a bit tiring but cabs are relatively cheap. If you don't have a car to get to the V&A waterfront, you can take a cab, which is reasonably priced or take the CitySightseeing Bus to get back if you have the pass.
