I liked the garden most of all, it was sunny and sheltered from the wind. The rooms were also nicely done, the beds comfortable, the showers powerful and the breakfast plentiful. Karen was really helpful so always speak to her if you need to plan your day. It's a short walk to the main beach and promenade in Camps Bay.

We stayed here on the last leg of our Honeymoon and the place was a great find. Carefully designed rooms with a lot of character and an ideal location in the beautiful Camps Bay which will not break the bank. The personal help & advice from Rolf was superb, and we can't thank him enough for helping to make our... More

What a beautiful guest house, perfect location, gorgeous rooms, amazing decor and not to mention the wonderfully intimate and personal service from dear Rolf, who was always on hand to recommend restaurants, sight seeing, taking messages for us when we were not sure if our shark dive was going ahead and leaving us a quirky little message on our door...

We stayed in the beach room for 3 nights and found Villa Surprise to be in a perfect location, Camps bay promenade is less than 5mins walk. The beach room was a great size with its own huge balcony which was great for watching the sunsets! Bathroom had a lovely roll top bath and both it and the room were... More

We stayed at Villa Surprise, Camps Bay as part of our honeymoon. It's a pleasant enough place and our room was enormous, leading on to a balcony with views. The rooms are styled in a quirky 'boho chic' way. We were in the 'King' suite and there were crown motifs everywhere and plastic crowns in the bathroom, plus a psuedo... More

Just got back from our second visit to Villa Surprise and are glad to say that it is still a great place to stay! We had a split stay with 8 nights in the Africa Room over Christmas and then another 2 nights (after a 4 night mini tour down the coast) in the Morocco (cum new Africa) Room for... More

My boyfriend and I have just got back from two weeks in Cape town and the western cape. We spent the first 10 days at Villa Surprise in Camps Bay as I'd read good reviews about this as a base. Villa surprise was easy enough to find from the airport - we took the scenic route as we came off... More

We stayed 4 nights in the King Suite. Booked directly with owners (www.villasurprise.co.za) and was very efficiently handled. The place looks even better than the web site suggests. Arrived in the afternoon and was promptly shown to our suite which was gigantic (separate lounge / bedroom areas). The view from the balcony was fantastic and the decor was quirky (but... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Villa Surprise Africa room in 2005. While there are more salubrious guest houses in Camps Bay, there are none so well located (less then 5 minutes walk from the beach) The staff (especially Rolf and Marco) were extremely helpful, breakfast was nice, and if I were to go back to Camps Bay I...
