About
Bayview Penthouses And Rooms
Bayview Penthouses And Rooms is a 4-star guest house in the residential hills above Cape Town’s Atlantic seaboard. Its position on Theresa Avenue puts the ocean front and center, with Camps Bay’s beach and restaurant strip roughly 5 minutes away by car and the V&A Waterfront within easy reach. The property is adults-only, which keeps the atmosphere calm and quiet.
Rooms range from compact ocean-view doubles to full penthouses with balconies, bathtubs, and coffee machines. The seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace are the social hubs, while the guest house also offers practical services like airport shuttles, car hire, and tour assistance. With a 9.2 guest rating from 230 reviews, it’s a well-regarded choice for travellers who want views without the seafront crowds.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities are modest — The facilities rating sits at 7.5, the lowest category, suggesting the guest house is more about the location and views than extensive on-site amenities.
- Not for families or pets — The property is adults-only and does not allow pets, which limits who can stay.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 18:00, which may be tricky for late arrivals unless you coordinate with the property.
