Thanks Mark, you went out of your way to help us. The central location was ideal for what we needed and the rooms were comfy and fully kitted. Lovely view over the bay with phenomenal sunsets. Our host was super friendly and available whenever needed. We felt completely safe and relaxed.

Wonderful accommodation. The manager was attentive and helpful, but not overbearing. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Everything from a hair dryer and extension lead to cold water and milk in the fridge, coffee amenities, soaps and room spray etc. Lovely garden and pool area. Will definitely stay there again.

It was my first time in the Western Cape and Mark surely made it a vacation worth living for.
Excellent customer service 10/10
The guest house is in a very good condition well maintained, clean and hygienic.
The pool was in the most perfect condition well maintained and clean.
The suburb in which the guest house is located in is a very quiet neighborhood ,we felt very comfortable and safe staying there.
The place was central to all the places we visited.(provided you have a car)
Just beautiful breathe taking views of the garden , mountains and sea view from the top level
Mark is very friendly ,always there to help, no matter the time of the day he always responded to my messages.
Thanks once again for the lovely complimentary Wine and Olive oil tasting Tickets @ Morgenster my family enjoyed it.
This place is perfect for small families as my daughter enjoyed her stay at Bay view.
The only thing I did not like about my stay was the fact that we had to leave ,so we decided to book an additional two days and Mark once again was able to accommodate us .
I will definitely return with my family.
Mark made my trip treasurable .

Hi host was great, and very accomodating. I had my sister with her kids visited for an hour or two, and handed them towls, to take a quick swim, it was a very hot day! Location is very central, and close the everything you need. Also not far from where uber drivers are, so pick ups are fast and effective, when you need them.

The property, decor, amenities, and views are fantastic and a great value. Mark is a wonderful and gracious host. Property is kept immaculate and any issues are addressed immediately. The inconveniences of load-shedding were barely noticeable due to the initiative of our host providing us with a schedule.

Such a beautiful stay, beautiful view, exquisite decorations, and the friendliest host ever. The room had everything you could ever imagine needing or wanting, and supremely comfortable. Even the load shedding schedule was left for you, with a chocolate and fresh biscuit everday :)

I spent 5 lovely nights at Bay View and I am extremely impressed with my entire stay. From the warm welcome to the heartfelt goodbye ♥️ everything was just superb. The room was spotless and amenities top notch. The view from the patio was outstanding, making it a pleasant spot to have a glass of wine and watch the sunset in the evenings. I highly recommend it! Thank you so much Mark, I will certainly be back.
