Not great value in the context of the tired and somewhat dated decor and decorative finishes..

Great location high above Camps Bay

Tired, and in need of an upgrade to the 2020’s.. very poor lighting in bathroom..

Clean property, better than what I saw on the pictures. Beautiful view, spacious. I loved the experience and the stay. I would recommend and would go back and book the property. There’s a shopping centre 3km away. Never struggled with uber or bolt.

There was no place to make my breakfast, I had to make my food with the microwave. Since it’s self catering at least a single stove would do since there’s cutlery too. Water got too cold quickly as if there’s 1 geyser in the property.

Is a place to be for escape and relaxation 🥳🥳

The ambiance and view of the ocean. Overall the place service is good.

Balcony is very restrictive and limiting as you cannot express your excitement with laughter especially while on a phone call. Is regarded to be disturbance to other guest. Every time I receive a , I have to go inside the room.

Amazing views, great for a short stay

Great location, with amazing views over the ocean. Clear check in instructions. Quick response when I messaged about the power going off. Room had everything we needed for our stay - appreciated the room clean and tea and coffee each day.

Being called a guesthouse I anticipated people around to welcome on arrival. It would have been helpful to have been informed about loadshedding and a link to the app to provide guidance on what times power might be off. Room was quite cluttered - less furniture and pictures would be ideal to give a more spacious, cleaner feel. Wifi by the pool would be great.

Awkward entry and dangerous stairs. Room with no view

2 Entry gates very awkward with suitcases plus Stairs awkward and overgrown Dangerous for older people and disabled. No view at all. No service Sundays. They forgot to place coffee and clean towels on Monday morning. Phone for help not answered on Sunday. This was my second stay. First was great with good rooms. I will not return. These added rooms overpriced

5.0 / 10.0

Overall, the view was fantastic but because of the issues I faced, I did not fully enjoy my stay.

Fairly easy to collect keys (although there was no one on site - there is no concierge on site). Location is good but it would be good to have a car as Ubers are hard to come by (especially if you are just heading to Camps' Bay). View is amazing, and if you like hiking, there is a hiking trail 5-10mins away.

I was under the impression that the place is fairly close to the beach which it is but it takes ~40 mins by foot although it is just a 6 mins drive away (property is located on top of the hill). One thing I really disliked is the air-conditioning - the air-condition switches off if the wrong mode was selected (it switches to ECO mode which is as good as turning off the air-con, I did not sleep for a night because it was very hot in the room). Adding on to that, there is no concierge on-site or anyone on-site to assist with any issues the guests were facing - when I had issues with the air-condition, I was told that it was a Sunday and they were not meant to come and help and asked me to wait till Monday to get further assistance. Ultimately, someone did call me but I had to figure most of the stuff out myself.

An out of this world service

I loved everything. The host, Candice, was absolutely amazing. She went out of her way to make our stay comfortable and worth a while. She even left us a beautiful bottle of wine in the room. The room was stunning, with breathtaking view of the ocean from the bed and in the balcony. On the other hand was a beautiful view of the mountains. The cleanliness was out of this world with a beautiful shower and nice hot water all the time. The pressure from the shower was the best. The room was so big and spacious, linen was crisp, there's a smart TV with YouTube, we could play music on it. There's huge mirrors everywhere, a girl's best friend. There's everything you need, from crockery to cutlery. We also enjoyed the nespresso machine and coffee pods 😀 it was our favourite part of the morning. It's a short drive from Camps Bay Beach. We could use PNP ASAP to order food Gloria, the cleaner, was very helpful. She always asked us if she could clean our room. The place felt like home, I'm definitely coming back.

Please add a non-slip matt in the shower as the tile is slippery when wet.

We enjoyed a very pleasant and peaceful stay at Kettle’s Guesthouse!

The balcony view was out of this world and the sun setting over the ocean was breathtaking. The beds were very comfortable, rooms were cleaned and fresh towels changed daily, was very impressed with that.

the owners do not seem interested in suggestions to improve the experience

Mostly clean

needs fine tuning to eliminate obvious issues. found the welcome letter quite rude blaming guests for being critical. the tone of the document was unwelcome the receptionist needs tracing in customer service- very reluctant to show anything; no smile or warmth of welcome. will not stay here again.

Exceptional

Stunning penthouse suite. Amazing views of Table Mountain, Lions Head, Camps Bay coastline, nice garden and pool area (cold water, refreshing!). Impressive range of crockery, cutlery, dining utensils, all high quality. Sun loungers top quality. We had a daily clean, staff were very friendly. Candice is particularly welcoming and a great source of local information. Good location to explore and get some hilly walks in. Houts Bay Craft Gin Distillery worth a trip. Nice harbour eating area Houts Bay. Camps Bay nice eating areas and beach, try Zenzero .... Hussars Grill fabulous also ..... pre-book both or won't get in. Camps Bay. Fish lovers try Codfather or Houts Bay harbour. V&A Waterfront fabulous restaurants and bars, try Mozambique! Uber very cheap. We'd definitely come back to this property .... they'll sort any issues you have when there, just ask politely. Ignore much of the rubbish written below..... but we were in the top / bigger penthouse. Thank you everyone at Kettle's House!

Fantastic stay to enjoy the best of Camps Bay!

Loved the clean room with kitchenette. Loved the pool deck and chairs. Great to know always parking outside. Great peacocks and pheasants and birds on property.

Nothing we didn’t like about the property. 1 suggestion to have screens on at least one window so we could keep open at night without mosquitos.
