30 mins from the airport and located in the heart of Camps bay area. Beautiful, cozy, safe, modern and clean property with the best bay views in the city. Highly impressed with caretaker Sasha and the night manager who are always available for any kind of assistance. 10 mins walk to the Promenade with all the restaurants and shopping. Hop on and off bus stop in front of the promenade which connects you to all the Cape Town attractions and tours. If I ever come back to the city, I would definitely stay here again. . They have EVERYTHING in the room, from bottled water to flat iron, robes and slippers. Felt like home. Breakfast was great as well.

Luxurious Cape Town Stay

Posted 20 Sep 2023 on Hotels
We had an amazing stay at Lion’s Eye and cannot wait to return on our next trip to Cape Town! The staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary unforgettable. Room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and the hotel breakfast was delicious which was enjoyed over beautiful views of Camp’s Bay. A true boutique hotel experience.

Beautiful setting, excellent staff and venue.

The guest house is located about 5 minutes walk from the main strip, with coffee shops, bars and restaurants of Camps Bay/Bakoven within 5-10 mins walk. The setting is stunning with The Apostles just behind the guest house and the sea view in front. The owners and the staff are all friendly and welcoming, with a well stocked "honesty bar", and a buffet breakfast with freshly cooked choices of additional menu items. Camps Bay itself has possibly the best fish restaurant I've ever been to (The Codfather) and a good mix of bars and restaurants, plus a small shopping mall. I stayed in the centre of Cape Town for most of my stay in the area, but enjoyed the couple of days in Camps Bay immensely, and the guest house was an integral part of that.
