Our Story

Ocean View House has always occupied a prime position on Cape Town’s Atlantic coast. As a premier Camps Bay guest house, we sit close to the famous Camps Bay with its vibrant bars, restaurants, and beautiful beach. However, we are located far enough away to remain a true oasis of peace and serenity.

Breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean spread out before you, while the Twelve Apostles mountain range stands watch behind. Because of this spectacular setting, every room at our Camps Bay guest house enjoys amazing, uninterrupted vistas.

Guests at Ocean View House are truly spoilt for choice. You can easily find peace under the ancient milkwood trees that shade our park-like gardens. Alternatively, you can relax by the swimming pool, or explore the natural mountain stream and koi ponds that dot the terrain. For those wanting to explore the local area, we can even arrange a personalized tour with our highly knowledgeable private, in-house tour guide.

First opened in 1994, this stunning property has since expanded to include neighboring properties. This growth allows us to offer our guests even more space and a wider choice of beautiful rooms. All of course, featuring exceptional views.
Despite our development over the years, Ocean View House has remained deeply true to its origins. Our boutique Camps Bay guest house is still proudly run as a family business. We love welcoming each and every guest as the newest member of the Ocean View House family.

Whether you are visiting Cape Town for the very first time or returning to your favorite coastal escape, we invite you to experience the warmth of our unique hospitality. Come and discover why so many travelers consider us their preferred home away from home. Let us help you plan the perfect South African getaway, starting with iconic landmarks like the nearby Table Mountain Aerial Cableway.
