Mountview Guest House

Booked this for my cousin and she absolutely loved it!

Great owner and management. Came for Cape Town Cycle Tour and got amazing experience with the accommodation. Rooms are not too big but enough for rest. The location is the best, quiet and of course safe. I strongly recommend this place!

I have stayed at Mountview twice now. This is my first choice when I visit CapeTown. It’s convenient because you are close to waterfront and many popular places and the sea is walking distance. Joe is great and Lebo the housekeeper is a ray of sunshine.

Joe is a very nice, friendly and helpful host ! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The guesthouse itself is situated on a reasonably busy street, parking opts near by, but not on premise. Breakfast was served and very good, Müsli, fresh fruits, eggs, bacon, … toast, etc. There is a small pool but nobody seems to use it. Our room had more or less no window, at least not a window with a view to somewhere, which I personally missed. Good and well situated guesthouse, good for short stays.

Hospitable helpful and clean accomodation. Nice pool and spa too. Appreciated the stay. Must do’s for Cape Town was the tourist bus to get one’s bearings and the visit to the wharf - loved the handicrafts on offer 👍🏻

My stay @ Mountview Spa and Guest House came after 3 nights in a hostel in Green Point - Just what the Dr ordered! A fantastic property with excellent service from start to finish. Joe was a great host and nothing was too much trouble (he is clearly committed to making sure that every guest has a positive experience) The breakfast and coffee were particularly good, and the property is well positioned for access to plenty of restaurants, shops etc just down the road.

The guest house is ideally located within easy walk of many restaurants. Pool area very nice and well maintained. Rooms and bathroom very clean. Joe and his staff were very good at assisting with locally recommended restaurants and places to visit. Breakfast was tasty and well presented.

Welcomed by Joe who provided a map and pointed out areas of interest in relation to Mountview. My room was a good size, clean and was nice to have fresh milk in the room's fridge for tea and coffee. However while the property is lovely and well located, I thought it was a bit cold and damp. It was chilly in Cape Town during my visit and the room was cold so a bit unwelcoming in that respect. There is a heater/AC unit in the room so it did heat up eventually but generally a feeling of damp. The bathroom was clean but needed updating as the grout around tiles in shower was black in places from mould, although I am sure it wasn't dirty the black colour looks unsightly. There are power cuts in SA generally and Joe directed me to download an App which would outline the hours to expect them. I felt this info could be written down for guests to refer to rather than saddling travellers with this extra responsibility. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment.
