of Our Hospitality

Heartwarming Stories from Our Bakoven Boutique Hotel

Tucked into the sheltered curve of Bakoven, on the edge of Camps Bay, Ocean View House is a place where hospitality goes beyond providing a room. Every corner has a story, and every view is a memory waiting to be made. What truly sets us apart isn’t only our location or our luxurious amenities. It’s the people, and the heartwarming stories shared by everyone who passes through our doors.

The Spirit of Teamwork in Challenging Times

One story that sums up the spirit of Ocean View House began on an ordinary day that quickly turned extraordinary. A fire broke out in our Panorama Apartment. It could have been a disaster, but instead it became a display of incredible teamwork and resilience.

Led by Lambert’s quick thinking, our team worked tirelessly to keep everyone safe. Their dedication didn’t stop once the flames were out. They played a central part in restoring the apartment, which was ready to welcome guests again in just three weeks.

It was a challenging moment, but it showed the strength and unity of our team. It also reinforced our commitment to giving every guest a safe, welcoming haven in Bakoven.

The Legacy of Cleo and Patience

Ocean View House is also a place of growth and opportunity, and a stepping stone in many of our team members’ careers. Cleo and Patience, two much-loved members of our team, went on to build international careers. Their time with us, full of learning and personal growth, gave them the confidence to take those bold new steps.

Their story reflects our commitment to nurturing talent and encouraging our team to follow their dreams, even when it means a heartfelt goodbye.

Celebrating Our Team’s Achievements

We also celebrated Tendai’s well-deserved promotion to Head of Housekeeping. Tendai’s journey is one of dedication and hard work, and it reflects our belief in recognising and rewarding our team’s efforts. Isreal’s appointment at the Front Desk and Sanele’s as Duty Manager marked new chapters in their careers, and we were proud to support them in their new roles. Welcoming back Kennedy as night guard and Virginia in Housekeeping felt like a family reunion. Every member of the team plays a vital part in making Ocean View House a home away from home.

These stories are just a glimpse of life at Ocean View House. Behind every service and every carefully prepared room are people with dreams, dedication and a passion for hospitality. They are the heartbeat of our Bakoven boutique hotel, bringing to life the experiences our guests cherish long after they leave.

We look forward to welcoming you. We hope you’ll enjoy the beauty and comfort of our home and feel the warmth of the incredible team behind it. They make Ocean View House more than a place to stay. They make it a place to remember.
