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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
