Cape View Clifton

4 Lyndsay Eaton - a year ago

Cape View Clifton is a boutique guest house that offers the most spectacular views of the ocean.

Rooms: the rooms were clean, nicely furnished and very spacious. The room offered all the required amenities like a kettle, hair dryer, tv, air-conditioning, etc. The best part of the room was the breathtaking views. We made sure to be back every evening to watch the glorious sunset.

Staff: the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Food: there was only breakfast available. It was usually muesli and fruit and then a freshly cooked breakfast with bacon, eggs, toast, etc. Every morning there was a slightly different menu. We were a bit disappointed that there was no restaurant on site which meant we would have to go out for every lunch and dinner.

Accessibility: firstly, there is very limited parking available right outside the guest house. However, you are able to park on the side of the road opposite the guest house which was okay but not ideal. Secondly, there are lots of stairs and the lift doesn’t stop on every floor - this was fine for us but may not work for everyone.

Price: definitely on the expensive side.

Overall: I had a wonderful stay and the views were awesome.

This is an incredible hotel with a great staff and great view. Book it and go now however because they will be closing in a few months due to the property being sold to a private owner. The staff is amazing so tip them big and enjoy the wonderful views of the ocean from your room and patio

Absolutely loved my stay at this spectacular property! Cape View has been on my wish list for ages and this was the ideal time to visit. Enjoying the beauty of the beaches and seascape as well as the mountains from a hot tub way above the crowds, ice cold wine in hand, was the stuff of vacation fantasies. The rooms are spotless and beautifully appointed, the staff friendly, and Charmaine serves up a five star breakfast. Highly recommended, indeed!

My wife and I stayed there for our honeymoon. Excellent view of the ocean and the service was on point. However, my wife's diamond earrings went missing. At first, we thought we misplaced them, but noticed other bags were gone through. We also referenced the pictures we took that day and realized the earrings were in fact left in the room. Our fault for not locking them up. When speaking to the manager, she was very responsive and positive. She informed us for 5 months that the hotel will pay us back.... we are still waiting. One negative experience ruins all of the rest of the positive qualities of this place.

The best hotel we have ever stayed in! Perfect location for our first honeymoon room. We would love to come back once saved up enough money again! The staff are lovely and even put hot water bottles in the bed for the turn down service. My personal favourite thing was to be able to have breakfast in my dressing gown. Loved every minute of it x
