Bayview Boutique Guesthouse

My stay at the Bayview Guesthouse was wonderful. I chose the location because of the view from the bedroom of Table Mountain and it did not disappoint. Christine was a wonderful host and the breakfast each morning is all that you could ever want. I wish I could wake up to that every morning! Loved having the honor bar available and the water and coffee maker in the room was a great touch. I was traveling solo and I felt extremely safe and secure. Whenever I come back to Cape Town I will definitely stay here again!

Me and my wife stayed for 3 nights at Bayview Guesthouse during our trip to South Africa . The Guesthouse is located in a very safe and comfortable area of CapeTown, just 10 minutes by car from the Waterfront. The Guesthouse has a private parking secured by means of an electric gate which gave me piece of mind during the night as CapeTown can be a bit unsafe at night. The building is decorated perfectly and with great taste, I would say to excellent standards. The room where we were staying was beautiful and the view breathtaking. Every morning we had amazing breakfast served by the kind lady that is helping the owner in running the business . It was a real beautiful experience… thank you very much. Only thing I would improve, if I really have to look for something is that the bed, very comfortable , had 2 single blankets rather than one big covering the whole bed. This means each person sleeping in the bed has one single blanket and is not sharing a big one… but this is just my personal taste.. definitely recommended.

Stayed here 4 nights. Rooms are modern, very clean and well maintained. Breakfast is excellent. Location is very good, excellent view of Table Mountain. It is about a half hour walk to downtown. Restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. Uber is excellent and the way to transport around the Cape Town area.. Host arranged excellent shuttle transportation from airport to accommodation with another couple for 300 ZAR per couple. Be very careful. *********** for this accommodation said no deposit required but a small temporary deposit may be taken to confirm the credit card and then the temporary deposit would be refunded within a few days. The reality is the host took 100% payment as the deposit. When I complained, her solution was to give me a total refund and cancel the booking. Needed the room so left it. In the room there was tea, coffee, etc and a small bottle of wine on the counter top above the fridge. I opened the wine and and sampled it. Another second small bottle of the wine was placed in the same spot a couple days later, next to the opened first bottle. I did not open that second bottle. I did finish the first bottle. I have always found, in my wide world travels, that all consumables on the counter are complimentary and those in the fridge below are usually chargeable. Not so in this place. When I was about to leave the host presented a charge of 170 ZAR for the wine. I told her I only drank the first bottle and showed her the second bottle of wine that was unopened. She told me to return the unopened second bottle to the room which I did. She then said there was still the charge of 170 ZAR for the bottle I drank. Rather than make a scene in front of the other guests present, I payed the 170 ZAR and left. The first small bottle of wine was obviously not complimentary. So be very careful on this account and on the taking of the deposit when budgeting for this accommodation.

A perfect stay for us. This guesthouse is of superior quality. Rooms, furniture, art objects, pool and just about everything perfectly arranged. Amazing view of table mountain, great breakfast with fresh fruits, eggs, cheese and more. Very friendly and helpful host and staff. We enjoyed our stay very much and are happy to come back.

We stayed for five nights in this wonderful accomodation. Friendly host, nearby some restaurants (if you don't mind walking uphill back) and serving an excellent breakfast. Highly recommended so check it out!

Christine and her stuff were a great host for our last 4 days in Capetown. This beautiful, modern boutique guesthouse with amazing views on the table mountain, Devils Peak and the bay will be our future location to stay in Capetown. Excellent breakfast, modern interieur and really nice artworks, Absolutely recommendable!

in a quiet location but near enough to the centre of Cape Town - win win! Chic, modern with delightful artwork and artefacts which make this guesthouse unique and an excellent place to stay. We loved it here. Excellent breakfast and so very well looked after. Spotlessly clean

Fabulous guest house: a) beautiful setting, b) scrupulously clean, c) safe, d) extremely friendly and helpful host, e) lots of dining within easy walking distance.
