"Why can't ALL B&B's be like this?" said my husband on the last day of our stay. He is an exacting customer and can be a severe critic of accommodation at the best of times, so here indeed was praise for this Camps Bay apartment. And I couldn't agree with him more. From the moment we were welcomed on the sidewalk by our utterly delightfully friendly and helpful host, and arrived in this beautiful and serenely stylish apartment, with its incredible view of Camps Bay, we knew we were staying somewhere very special. I suppose you could call it a studio apartment, but really, "studio" doesn't do it justice at all! The apartment, decorated by an obvious expert in pale, restful muted shades and furnished with quiet elegance, is situated across the whole top floor of a big 3 story house, so it feels open and spacious. When all the large glass doors which run most of the way across the front the property are open, one can lie in bed and feast the eyes on the glories of the burning blue African sky and ocean. There is a generous balcony which runs the length of the apartment, with a large table, plenty of seating and some very pretty lights along the railings, which add a touch of festivity to any quiet drink or supper up there after dark. Lounge around in the sun on the balcony during the day, and you have the choice of sea or stunning mountain views to agonize over.

I can only say that I would swap my kitchen at home in Dubai ANY day for the kitchen in this apartment. It's so well stocked with equipment that one could probably compete in Masterchef in it, (and cater for 20 while you're at it) and it's so cleverly designed that its a pleasure to cook in. Our ever considerate host left us with plenty of complimentary condiments and even two bottles of wine to welcome us in. She obviously saw us coming!

My husband and I quite simply don't have a bad word to say about our experience here, and we will definitely be booking again. Thank you to the lovely Michou for a wonderful stay.
