5I had a wonderful stay. The accommodation and its location were excellent, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area. The property was exceptionally clean, and communication with the host was outstanding—quick, friendly, and very helpful throughout my stay. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely choose this place again on my next visit. Thank you for your great hospitality.
5Thank you for, Mary-Louise, for such a wonderful stay in Cape Town. If anything, the pictures undersold the place and we were blown away by the views. Mary-Louise was so quick to respond to any questions that we had and was extremely proactive in making sure that we were able to settle in very quickly. The house cleaners were very friendly and excellent at their work.
5Perfect bungalow located directly on glen beach. Faboulos stay and easy communication. Proximity to camps bay restaurants and shops was perfect!
5Perfect…. Could not ask for a better place to stay in Cape Town, beautiful/clean/peaceful unit, location unmatched, easy to find/no problem with parking, steps to the beach and 5-7min easy walk to a great street for coffee, shops, groceries and restaurants, communication with Mary Louise was excellent, she made us feel like home…… highly recommend without out hesitation, when we visit CPT again, we will only stay in this unit.
5A fabulous Airbnb – view was stunning, as was the apartment. Best accommodation we have stayed at. The deck was well furnished and a stunning view of the sunset. The interior was equally as beautiful. Many restaurants and bars in a short walking distance. Sightseeing easy to arrange and red open top bus stops at the Bay Hotel a short walk away.
5Best location possible, great interior and great service
5A lovely apartment in a great location. Mary-Louise was a great host and was very responsive & helpful.
5A beautiful, private and breathtaking location . For visitors once you walk out it feels like a mix of Malibu and Miami . Walking distance to great shops and restaurants. The beach access is steps away. Plunge pool is located steps from the front door.
Both rooms were spacious and comfortable bedding. The A/C worked well and water pressure did as well. The home was clean, orderly and looked exactly like the pics.
Our one note is that the staff for housekeeping and grounds showed unannounced. It was off putting since we were not expecting them during our two day stay . The housekeeper was polite when we stated we didn’t need any service and kindly left . And be prepared to carry bags down stairs to enter the home. It can be someone difficult if you have mobility issues.
All in all it’s a beautiful home and wonderful access . We will be back !
512 Glen Beach Road was a stunning location and the apartment was pristine. Mary-Louise could not have been more hospitable and helpful and we would love to come back.
5Direkt am strand, alles war perfekt.
5Here is a polished Airbnb review you can use, Chris:
Mary Louise’s two bedroom place in Camps Bay is exceptional. The views are outstanding, and the direct access to Glen Beach makes it feel like a private beach, with some of the best sunsets I have experienced. The apartment was spotless, and the bedding was extremely comfortable. It is an easy walk to the main Camps Bay strip with great shops and restaurants nearby. Mary Louise was very quick to communicate and provided clear, helpful instructions throughout. I would definitely return again and highly recommend this place.
5Perfect location, breathtaking views, and just a beautiful villa all round. Mary-louise was a great host, and allowed us to check in earlier, which was appreciated.
The housekeeping ladies were also very lovely! honestly nothing to fault about this place.
I would happily visit again.
5The property is in a great location easy access to the beach and camps bay.
The sound of waves breaking may keep light sleepers awake but that is well worth staying in such a great front line location
5The penthouse was a dream. Beautifully furnished with a great design, a fantastic view of the sea, and an ideal location. Mary-Louise’s service was perfect. The cleanliness and service were professional and great. We absolutely recommend this apartment.
5Die Unterkunft ist fantastisch und modern eingerichtet. Lieblingsmerkmal des Bungalow war das Hauptschlafzimmer und die große Terrasse mit Blick aufs Meer.
Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet (sogar mit Nespresso Kaffeemaschine und Heissluftfriteusse) und Gasgrill auf der Terrasse.
Der Check in hat perfekt geklappt und der Bungalow wurde sogar täglich gereinigt.
Ich würde diese Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen.
5Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit im Penthaus. Die Lage, der Ausblick und das Appartement sind wunderbar. Mary-Louise ist immer erreichbar gewesen, die Kommunikation hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben uns als Gäste sehr willkommen gefühlt. Die Fotos sind authentisch. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.
5The place is amazing! Directly at the beach. Appartement is very stylish and Mary-Louise is truly a great host! She always replied very quickly and is very friendly! Will totally come back! Thank you Mary-Louise!
5Excellent location overlooking Glen Beach in Camps Bay with the sound of the crashing surf priceless. Easy walk down to all major restaurants in Camps Bay or a quick Uber to those a bit further. Amazing host who was friendly and helpful with every request. The option for secure off-road parking was fantastic as we could leave majority of our luggage in the vehicle.
5We had a wonderful stay — the house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Everything you might need is available in the house, except for a shataf (which we learned is not common anywhere in Cape Town). The hosts are friendly and welcoming. The sound of the ocean can be a bit loud at times, especially with the strong winter winds, but overall it was a great experience.
5Mary-Louise’s place is incredible. You feel like you are part of the ocean. The photos don’t do it justice. Fantastic location in Camps Bay. Walking distance to everything you need, but far enough removed to feel private. Communication and responsiveness from Mary-Louise was incredible. Could not recommend more highly. Fantastic stay.
5The Glen Beach Penthouse is beautiful. The views of the ocean are dramatic and unobstructed. The accommodations are stylish and clean. I enjoyed my ritual of walking down to Camps Bay for coffee, and even dinner, which only took 5-10 minutes. I highly recommend this Airbnb and I will certainly stay here again when I return to Cape Town.
5It was a pleasure dealing with Mary-Louise. The apartment is beautiful just as the photos advertised. Beautiful outlook right on the beach. A short walk to lots of restaurants and amenities. Would definitely recommend this apartment and book it again when we visit Cape Town next. Thanks Mary-Louise for a wonderful stay in Camps Bay.
5Absolutely stunning place, location and views. We had an amazing stay, we will definitely come back. It is more beautiful than the pictures.
5We didn’t meet Mary Louise, but she provided clear and precise instructions for both arrival and departure.
Beware parking is in the street and there are rather steep stairs to access the apartment, which is between the road and the beach.
But what a view! The penthouse is very well appointed and beautiful. It was a dream living there for a few days. The beach is beautiful, watching the waves, even when super windy, from sunset to sunrise was amazing.
The ladies cleaning everyday do a great job and made our life super easy, even helping with some laundry.
We would go back in a heartbeat.
5THE location of you are searching for the best spot in Camps Bay near the beach!
Apartment could receive some smaller renovations but you are staying there because of the view / the location & the ocean feeling…
5Wonderful and safe apartment exactly as per description and photos with lovely hosts.
Thank you for our stay we had such a lovely time !
5Great location just above the beach – fantastic views and the roar of the ocean.
5Great apartment with an outstanding view of the ocean, right at the beach. One of the best places I have ever been
5Mary-Lousie’s Glen Beach house is beautiful! Wonderful location, saw many dolphins and seals right outside deck! The house was comfortable and spacious. Highly recommend!
5We are a family of four who stayed a week at Mary-Louise’s place right on Glen Beach. A fantastic location, with breathtaking views. Direct access to beach and pool was a hit for the kids. We really enjoyed our stay, and communication with Mary-Louise was super easy, and we were offered all the help and flexibility we could dream off. Hope to be back one day.
5You cannot beat the location of this villa! On the beach and within walking distance to lots of restaurants. The views are absolutely beautiful. We even ordered dinner in one night so we didn’t have to leave! Such a quiet and peaceful retreat.
5The location of this property is really amazing!
From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the views of the bay and the most incredible sunset.
The accommodation is beautifully appointed and very secure.
It is an ideal base for visiting Cape Town and the surrounding area. We just wish we could have stayed longer!
5Super stay! The place to be in Cape Town!
4Nice place for short retreat
5Couldn’t be a more perfect spot to enjoy Camps Bay. Extremely well appointed, comfortable, right on the Glen’s Beach. Felt safe the whole time. Excellent dining options 5 min walk. Will def stay again.
5We were absolutely delighted with the accommodation, the location was just beautiful, we even witnessed two proposals at sundown on the beach ❤️ we look forward to returning ( Julie Briggs)
5Penthouse was amazing. absolutely incredible view and very central to camps bay. Very responsive to questions / queries and proactively reached out. One of the best I’ve stayed in
5The place is situated in a beautiful spot along the beach! The sounds of the waves sets off a beautiful melodic pattern. Beautiful views and walking distance to the restaurants! I would 100 percent recommend to friends and family!
5We absolutely loved our stay and did not want to leave. We are already discussing coming back next year! The pictures don’t do the place justice! The location is unbelievable and the sound of the ocean along with its views are extraordinary!
5The home and the setting are exceptional with stunning views right on the beach and ocean,
Mary-Louise was immediately responsive from the initial booking, pre-empted our arrival and gave us a warm personal welcome as well as being on hand throughout.
The staff support on site was superb, immediate and flexible.
An obvious candidate for unquestioning recommendation …. so long as it doesn’t take a date we’d like to rebook for!
5It was an absolute small piece of paradise. The hosts were extremely communicative and the apartment was beautiful! It was perfectly cleaned every day and we could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our honeymoon.
5One word.
Perfection!
We absolutely loved staying here!
The penthouse was even better than we could of imagined. And Wow the view! The beach is right there and Not even a 5 minutes walk into Camps bay, right on the pathway. And it never took us more than a 10 minute Uber ride to get anywhere within Cape Town.
We had the most amazing time and 100% wished we could have stayed longer. We definitely will be back and will be booking Mary-Louis’s home again!
It felt like our home away from home !!!!
5Es war eine tolle Unterkunft. Lediglich bei der Adresse hatte uns das Navi im Stich gelassen. Hier sollte man wirklich nochmals alles überprüfen. das Video zur Wegfindung war sehr hilfreich.
5An amazing stay at a breathtaking place! The description does not do it justice. The upstairs apartment feels like you are sleeping on the beac with the waves lulling you to sleep. Truly amazing!
5Fantastic house right on the beach with amazing views. Easy drive along to Cape Town. Host very easy to communicate with and very helpful. The washing machine/ drier are not in the upstairs appartment itself do laundry was done for us.
5What a beautiful home in a stunning location.
Mary Louise was very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and duration of our stay. The views are stunning and the decor of the house fits in perfectly with the surroundings. We were surprised by the scale of the property, larger than it looks in the photos and a fantastic large balcony with a relaxed sitting area, dining area and lounge area.
Waking up to the view of the ocean and the sound of the waves is hard to beat.
I would highly recommend this property and dealing with Mary Louise.
5What a stunning spot! My family and I had a fantastic time here. Mary Louise was extremely helpful and responsive. She went out of her way to accommodate us. Thank you !
5Prachtige villa met goede uitrusting. Waanzinnig uitzicht over de oceaan en op loopafstand van de gezellige restaurants en barretjes van Camps Bay.
Mary Louise heel snel met reageren. Absolute aanrader!
5Just fantastic! Exceeded all of our expectations. The location is everything and easily accessible to the trendy Camps Bay bars and restaurants. The bungalow itself was immaculate with it’s tasteful decor, modern open spaces and breathtaking sea views. The hosts were great – thankyou to you both; we loved spending time in your gorgeous beach cottage and would not hesitate to book here again!
5Such an awesome stay! The house has a beautiful view of the beach. We were very comfortable and it definitely made our visit to Cape Town all the more special.
5Dear Mary Louis,
Thank you for hosting me and my family last week. We had a wonderful stay and felt so at home.
5Fabulous location, responsive host, perfect stay!
Thank you for having us, we would love to come back.
5We had the most wonderful stay with our family at Mary Louise’s home.
Everything was amazing, the location doesn’t get any better.
Our kids played on the beach every day, the beach itself was quiet and less crowded than Camps Bay and the other Clifton beaches.
The home is a short walk from the Camps Bay strip, just far enough to be out of the chaos.
It had everything you could want, lovely amenities and Mary Louise provided a very thoughtful welcome box which was appreciated. Their helper was amazing and very unobtrusive.
All in all, would definitely recommend this amazing home.
5great location
easy communication with the owners
5A stunning location and beautiful house. Amazing host.
5Breathtaking views and beautiful home. Super neat and clean and the wifi works during loadshedding. We loved every minute of our time there!
5Great apartment. Lovely location with views straight out on to the beach/surf. Friendly and helpful hosts.
5Magnificent place with direct access to the ocean beach and stunning views. Also, at a walking distance from lively corniche shops.
5Nous avons passés un merveilleux séjour dans la propriété de Mary-Louise avec une vue magnifique ! Le propriété est situé à deux pas des commerces et restaurants ainsi que la plage de Camps Bay. Casiment les pieds dans l’océan, nous nous sentions en toute sécurité. Tout était parfait et Mary-Louise est très accueillante.
5Wonderful, Wonderful. if I could give this stay 6 stars I would. Beautiful stay with magnificent weather for the time of year.
5Another amazing stay at this property with Mary-Louise. This time, we had a smaller group, so we only rented the Penthouse. The stay could not have been better. The property is amazing, the furnishing excellent, and the view breathtaking.
Mary-Louise and Sean make the stay all the more pleasant and hospitable.
I recommend this property to friends and family all the time.
5Beautiful Location and pristine property. Great Host. Will definitely come again.
4Exceptional views.
Apartment is furnished very nicely with all one would need for a comfortable stay.
The reception received and communication by the host was excellent.
Will be back for a visit
5Mary-Louise and her Team made it easy to enjoy our holidays. From being super friendly and very helpful to having a fantastic spot right on Glen Beach. The spot is really worth it if you looking to unwind and enjoy a beach holiday!
5Lots of superlatives here. Amazing location, on Glen Beach, with a wonderful view over the beach and sunset, a superb host and a house that has everything to make a stay comfortable and relaxing. A short walk to Camps Bay (really short walk) puts you in the middle of the restaurant scene. Highly recommended.
5Everything was amazing, it is a must see as the view from both bedrooms are beautiful. The architectural design and final touches truely shows a lot of thought and care when into creating this little haven where u can spend a beautiful and memorable time with your partner.The sunsets, close access to the beach and even the surprise of seeing dolphins is only a few of the things this little place has to offer. My stay was definitely too short so I’m sure I will see you again.
5A well needed break and the Glen Beach Pent house did not disappoint. We loved the location on the beach and the property was neat and clean. The views from the main bedroom is simply magical, watching seals from your bed and the most beautiful sunsets. We will definitely be back!
5Mary – Louise’s place was very neat and clean , a lovely private beach is just a jump over the balcony away. The soothing waves crashing was just wonderful !! Great place – will be back , Thanks and enjoy !!
