My wife and I spent 3 nights here and had a very comfortable stay. The striking thing about Villa Surprise was the way the room had such an African character built into it – the decor, furnishings and even the washbowls in the bathroom are all designed to make you feel as though you are in Africa, for example with...

We really enjoyed our stay in Camps Bay and would highly recommend the area as a base to explore Cape Town. It was much safer and cleaner than downtown, but only 10 minutes away. We stayed 4 nights at Villa Surprise and loved it. The rooms were clean and the service was great. The breakfast was the best part! My... More

My girlfriend and I have spend 3 nights at the Villa Surprise. Rolf, Karen and the maids have been great hosts to us. I have no reservations about recommending this guest house and would definitly go there any time again. Accomodation/pool: Very clean, just the swiss way. Breakfast: A very nice and comprehensive selection was available. Location: Close to the... More

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
