    There was some traffic noise from the adjacent road.

    Merryl was a superb host and made us feel very welcome. We were surprised and thrilled to have been given an upgrade to the suite which was amazing. The location was great - a 5 minute walk to the shops, bars and restaurants. The apartment had everything you need including milk, jam and bread on arrival. Merryl also placed a bottle of fizz in our room on arrival as we were celebrating our birthdays. The views from the balcony were wonderful. Highly recommend a stay here.

    We lost 2 nights as flights cancelled coming over and then we moved to Gordon’s Bay, not nearly as nice as Campsbay!

    This is a stunning apartment in Campsbay, very close to the main sea front with shops and restaurants.. Merryl was also on hand to advise. Great view of the sea and sunsets. Will hopefully return on a future trip.

    Everything was amazing

    We had the pleasure of staying at Meryl’s beautiful space for a week and it was exactly that, a pleasure. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail was obvious ( Fresh Bread and arranged flowers, little chocolate treats to name but afew ) Meryl’s space is modern, clean and open. The quality of linens and towels was the cherry on top for us which is saying a lot as we had a daily helper who came in and cleaned/neatened. Meryl is a gracious hostess who went above and beyond with giving thoughtful and sound advice on where to eat and what activities to do during our stay. It’s evident that Meryl loves her space and takes great pride in looking after it. Thank You Meryl for making our stay even more memorable.

    We loved everything about this beautiful accomodation. A perfect location, in walking distance to the restaurants, shops and beach. Our host Meryl is so welcoming, friendly, warm and attentive. The views from our balcony are just amazing...Table Mountain and the ocean...the sunsets from the balcony are breathtaking. This is Camps Bay's finest and we cannot wait to return.

    We were really happy with our accommodation. The "studio" flat was in fact huge and very well appointed with a spacious bathroom and kitchen area. You can enjoy breakfast or a morning coffee from the outside deck area looking out to the ocean - heaven. The decor was lovely and there were thoughtful little touches everwhere. More importantly the place was immaculately clean and just a few moments walk to the central area of Camps Bay. We never felt unsafe and enjoyed being able to walk about to the cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed being located away from the city centre and all the sites and still only a short uber or drive away. The host, Meryll, was very helpful and welcoming.

    Lovely apartment equipped with everything you need and with easy parking. Location was excellent with an easy drive into Cape Town, close to Table Mt and the drive along the glorious Chapmans Peak Drive to take you further afield to Cape Point. Locally a 5 minute walk to a fabulous beach resort with choice of good restaurants.

    Cannot think of anything we didn’t like about the accommodation

    The location is really great and the accommodation is of a high standard - the owner Merryl is very welcoming and goes to great lengths to ensure you are comfortable and happy with the accommodation. She also provided complementary bread, butter, tea coffee and jam. We stayed for 6 nights and had a brilliant time in Camps Bay - the Uber taxi service is brilliant and very cheap and safe

    Everything was lovely. Even the weather was mostly awesome although winter.

    The Patio Apartment has absolutely everything you need and more. We enjoyed being able to bbq on the terrace, relax on the daybeds with a nice ocean view, have sundowners listening to the waves with a fabulous sunset in front. The host is lovely and has lots of recommendations to offer. Restaurants, pub, cafés, beach, groceries just a short and safe walk away. We didn't even have a car and just used Uber to go to other places. Camps Bay is a great base to explore Cape Town, if you love to have the ocean and beach in walking distance. The host made us aware upfront that there is construction work on the house next door which was very fair. Don't worry about that though as they only start at like 10 am until around 4 pm when one is gone most likely anyways. And it wasn't actually very loud as it wasn't right next to the patio apartment. And yes, there is a busy street in front of the house, but that is the price you pay when you just want to be able to walk to restaurants and bars without getting into the car. It didn't bother us much (and we spent a lot of time on the patio), the ocean was at times even louder than any car. Moreover, the patio apartment is in the back and not facing the street, so inside you don't hear anything from the street anyways.
