Balfour is a cozy two suite Guest house with a capable staff of two. Portia and David kindly take good care of the property and guest's needs. Our room had lots of space, generous wardrobe , sofa, large TV ,firm bed great pillows , good bathroom and terrific wifi. Deck furniture is minimal likely due to strong winds . There is a nice lounge upon entering and pleasant swimming pool patio. It is safe and secure location, very close walk to beach and restaurants.

There is a steep climb into the property and then more stairs to the Honeymoon suites - top floor . Currently, these are the only rooms let. Worth it for the view .

Gorgeous room and balcony with sunset views. Great to have a seating area as well as the large and very comfortable bed. Good shower and large bathroom, also separate dressing area which was handy. Excellent location, easy walk to the main street and beach and yet very quiet. Easy parking outside the front door.

We didn't use the jacuzzi bath as it didn't seem terribly clean....but that was the only negative, everything else was fab.

The staff was extremely helpful in carrying up our bags as there are a lot of stairs and the exterior stairs can be slippery when it rains. The breakfast is continental with yoghurt, delicious fruit, cheese, bread, croissants. We enjoyed our view which was exceptional. The room is extremely large and the bathtub was a bonus. There is a small fridge and nespresso machine .

Nothing to improve

Amazing location with fantastic views over Camps Bay, on road behind the beach! Safe parking but not gated. Porscha, thank you for a lovely breakfast. Definitely a good stopover though in a very very expensive Camps Bay!

Sadly the place lacks of character. I feel like the place doesn't fulfill it's potential. Breakfast offerings was too simple in comparison to other guesthouses. Quite a few steps, be an issue for some.

The pictures on Booking.com didn't do the room justice. The Honeymoon Suite was incredible! It even had a walk-in closet and the bathroom was huge. I wasn't expecting breakfast, but the staff prepared a little tray of fruit, a croissant, some yoghurt, spreads and cheese. We could take it up to our room to enjoy on the balcony. The staff were also really friendly and warm!

Nothing, it was excellent 😊 It was a little difficult to find because it's located in a cul de sac, but I phoned and promptly received instructions on how to get there.

The room was immaculate with beautiful views of table mountain, lions head and camps bay. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, we needed some laundry done as we stayed at the end of a long trip and this was efficiently at a small extra cost which we were grateful for. It is also very close to the centre of camps bay so restaurants, cafés and shops are within walking distance. I'd definitely recommend "Codfather" for an excellent seafood dinner which is less than a 5 minute walk from the guesthouse.

Nothing it was perfect.

Very spacious and comfortable room with an amazing view over Camps Bay. A short distance from everything you need when staying the night in Camps bay. Great parking opportunity if you are travelling by car.

The water pressure was a bit low, but nothing to get upset about really. I have no complains overall, loved our stay.

Beautiful big room and bathroom - huge verandah with terrific view over Camps Bay - perfect.

They should perhaps warn people about the number of stairs from the street up to the property and then from the front door up to the main floor and then the flights of stairs to the rooms - not a problem for us but could be for people with small kids, older people etc.

The room was big and clean. The view was spectacular.

The fact that our room had a tv but it wasn’t a smart tv. It would great to have a smart tv so that we can watch Netflix, Showmax etc, DSTV doesn’t offer nowadays.

The view is absolutely amazing from the corner balcony with a table and chairs, perfect to chill, have breakfast or dinner. 2-3 min walk to the beach, restaurants and cafes. Billard table and pool were fun.
