We have never stayed in such a well equipped accommodation. Anything you need is here. This is the hosts' own home and they were incredibly generous inviting you to use whatever is around and just replace it. There is maid service with cleaning and washing whenever you need it - nothing was too much trouble. We all felt especially welcome here. The area is perfect for local restaurants and bars and we felt very safe and secure in the area. We would not hesitate to recommend and cannot wait to return. Thank you

Incredible location and hosts. We travelled for a conference with work colleagues and truly could not have asked for a better set up for our trip. Each room has its own full bathroom, making this a great choice for family, friends orColleagues to have both privacy and a shared space. Virginia is also amazing to have on site!

This place is in a great spot. Easy to walk to the beach and all the restaurants and Camps Bay activities. The hosts were fantastic to deal with and the property is well maintained and very organized for guests. There is a grocery store very close. They have thought of everything from beach bags to house keys. The eclectic art throughout the home was unique and our stay was fantastic. Highly recommend this location for any stay in Camps Bay!

Fantastic eclectic house close to beach

This is a super fun 5 bedroom house in Camps Bay so close to the ocean ! We loved the location , the rooms, the ability to relax and enjoy time together in the living room . A fully serviceable kitchen with a beautiful cake provided by the host as well as coffee, yogurt and I can’t remember what else. The hosts were quick to respond and far exceeded all of our expectations. We would definitely return .

About the host

Hosted by Shirley Engers

Host profile image
My husband and I were both born in Cape Town and lived here all our lives. We both went to the University of Cape Town. I am a retired school teacher specialising in special needs and Keith is still practising law. I travel to London once a year to visit my brother and sister who both live there. I am a keen tennis player and Keith is a golfer.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house 32 years ago. Both my children were brought up in the house. They have both moved out now and for the last 20 years we have been running this once family home as a guest Villa.

What makes this property unique

It is in the best position in Camps Bay as you can walk everywhere. All guests who stay here feel very much at home as it has a wonderful relaxed feel about it and the house has so much charm and character. It is very safe for children and we also have a pool net.
