Finchley Guesthouse in Camps Bay

Excellent service, very kind and caring staff, location is great, room was clean and comfortable

Quiet peaceful and safe surroundings

Property was ok, except the breakfast was monotonous, more variety will be ideal such as including breakfast meats such as liver, boerwors sausages, mince, kidneys etc

Great location and nice views. Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast.

The rooms and especially the bathroom can do with a refresh. Windows and doors rattle a lot (but then again the Camps Bay South Easter is notorious!) No secure parking.

Great location. Comfortable rooms. Hearty breakfast.

Loved the location.

No shampoo or water in the room.

Stayed for 1 night for our elopement.used the room to get ready for MUA and hair and they were very chill. Room was clean, spacious and had beautiful views! Breakfast was lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly. We had the opportunity to meet the owners while they were on holiday from Germany and they shared their plans on the renovations. Can’t wait to see the upgrades :)

Nothing. It was wonderful.

We really liked the cleanliness of the accommodation — the room was spotless, the views were beautiful, and the location was fantastic.

However, we were disappointed with the arrival experience. When we walked in, there was a gentleman with his back turned to us. We initially assumed he was a guest, and then perhaps a cleaner, but only later realised he was the person at reception. He did not introduce himself, there was no warm welcome, and the interaction felt very cold and clinical. He briefly mentioned that breakfast would be available in the morning, but didn’t provide a time. Overall, it felt as though we were inconveniencing him. The breakfast the next morning was also underwhelming for the price. The atmosphere was extremely quiet — no music, no ambience — and it felt more like a funeral than a dining experience. It was quite uncomfortable. Moreover, we only had Cremora in the room, with no long-life milk provided for coffee. The tap water tasted unpleasant, almost like mud, and we only discovered bottled water in the fridge upon checkout the next day — no one had informed us it was there. The kettle cord was extremely short, and we ended up having to place the kettle on the floor next to the dustbin to boil water. The water pressure in the shower was also very weak, and we later realised the showerhead was broken. It does look like the property has received a fresh coat of paint inside and out, but the balcony paint was flaking quite badly and showed noticeable wear and tear. Unfortunately, the main reason we will not be returning was the noise from the roof during the wind. While wind in Camps Bay is normal, it was clear that one of the roof plates was loose or not secured properly. The noise was so loud it sounded like a thunderstorm directly above us, and we did not get an hour of sleep. There was also no one available after 5 p.m. to assist or help us move rooms. We cannot imagine we are the first guests to be affected by this, and it definitely needs urgent attention.

The hospitality was very perfect.Wyne made us feel welcomed before we could even reach the place. Warm welcoming of his smile made us feel at home during our stay..The 2 ladies and the guy were very kind as well n the breakfast was waw.I also liked the fact that we walked to the beach and the shorps.The place looks beautiful and clean,we are planning to come back again next year.The owner of the place also came to great us and we felt so honored. Thanx for everything, and God BLESS.

The fact that their iron is unreachable..

Awesome view of the mountain 🏔️ and beach⛱️.

There's nothing I didn't like

It was absolutely amazing.

We Liked everything

Great location. Clean. Amazing staff.

No parking

Best views of Camps Bay, comfortable rooms, nice breakfast and within a short distance of Cape Town

-

Room is very clean. Quiet but safe. Nice sunset ocean view. Free parking in front. Short walk to the beach center.

A bit pricey but I know it’s Camps bay

Lovely house, rooms very very spacious with fantastic views of the sea and mountains. Good location for walking into Camps Bay. Downhill there but uphill on the way back! Good breakfast and friendly staff.

Maybe a challenge to access the property for people with mobility issues as there are a lot of steps to the main entrance.

Location and staff

Nothing

:) This place was exceptional. My wife kept on thanking me even a few hours still after we checked out. The breakfast was awesome, with a view unlike I ever had. Imagine having a buffet breakfast while looking out over the ocean. We really loved everything and we are already making plans to go back.

Somewhere on a flyer or online or (I can't remember) but I saw there's no parking at the Guest house, so I booked an Uber to get to and from the place, but when I got there, there was actually enough parking for a few vehicles. Spend over R600 for traveling using e-taxis where we could have just came with my own vehicle.

Great staff

Friendly hosts. Wonderful breakfast Great view.

jannie was very welcoming and super friendly.

clean and quite area

Pool needed a bit of work, and the breakfast was not good

This property has unbeatable views! Ocean and mountain. It’s clean and comfortable with plenty of space. We loved it! It’s conveniently located near restaurants and area attractions. Caught the wine tour shuttle nearby. The English Breakfast was delightful with a nice variety of options. Would definitely stay here again, only longer! Book it!

Nothing

It is next to the beach and has a Mountain View also. Perfect combination. Very safe as you can drive late at night and even park your car outside. Mac and Ishmael were the best hosts, they are very very welcoming and kind.

The only bummer was the weather since it was a rainy season, it was very windy and rainy but the house had an AC

The breakfast was amazing, the service from the staff was incredible. You feel at home. The best place to book.

There's nothing to dislike about the place.

The Host moved us to the top room which was amazing

The first room

The view

There is no dedicated parking. Breakfast not great, muffins made by staff but was almost burned. You can hear everyone and everything around you in next room and downstairs. There is only stairs. The spa bath didnt work.

Good

It is clean with great staff, close to the beach, Table Mountain. Staff attitude is so warm. Great breakfast 👌🏽

Nothing

the view was great, the location was good, however the breakfast was inconsistent, they need to be clear at the timings, some guests came later than 10 and had breakfast, some came 1 minute late and didn't have breakfast, a good professional briefing is required for clarity.

inconsistency of service.

Our rooms were very clean and well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly,kind and helpful. We loved this hotel, the location was perfect and the breakfasts were great. Including a lovely buffet and cooked breakfast.

The location address was slightly misleading. The number for the property was No.18 but due to construction sat nav directed us to No.14

Poor

Great view. Staff was helpful and the breakfast good.

This is a 3 star place at most. Needs updating. Bedding so old it's the thinnest sheet I 've ever seen. Lots of water damage in the bathroom. Also couple of light stains on towel, probably due to age.

The area is close to the beach, I was also happy with the security of the place.

There was nothing to complain about except for the room service. Bedding was not being changed, same bedding was used everyday.
