    I had my wedding at the beach villa. The staff were friendly and accommodating! Thandi was by our side the entire time and supported us through the whole process. Breakfast was amazing, the view spectacular and our photographer phenomenal!

    Fantastic beach house with the best views. In close proximity to loads of Cape Town attractions.

    The rooms are clean and comfortable, but some lamps and doors need to be replaced. The rooms are not equipped for load shedding except for a rechargeable lamp; no Wi-Fi, TV or lights during load shedding. The service in the breakfast room was good, but the breakfast lacks variety. The location is perfect right on the beach, with breathtaking sea views.

    Exceptional service from the lovely villa hostess. We called and was able to make a last minute booking just before sundown. Offering great prices for accommodation with breakfast incl in most packages, the rooms walk out onto the beautiful white beach of Melkbosstrand offering stunning views of sunsets with sand between your toes and ocean breeze in your hair. Definitely a MUST and I'll gladly return. Thank you team!

    Out the side door, on to a patch of grass, then you're on the beach. Amazing view. Falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Small to medium sized bedroom (that we stayed in), tv with 3 working channels, basically non existent wifi. The friendliest, warmest staff. Homemade breakfast. Do NOT get the room next to the dining room exit, the sound of the door banging close will be bothersome. Clean bedroom with a comfy mattress and pillows. Parking is horrendous and squashed. Way out near the shore line people take their dogs for walks and it's just lovely watching them, positively delightful when a wet puppy bounds up to you on the beach to throw their ball for them. Bathroom with a shower and a bath from the 90s. Good water pressure. Door lock could benefit from being replaced as it's fiddly. Really, really great staff. Unfortunately the guest house is child friendly so unless you're lucky (like we were the 2nd and 3rd night), there will be little brats playing and being a nuisance.

    Magical. The venue and the staff wow, Thandi went over and above to make my wedding day stress free, the food the view, photographer amazing. The honeymoon suite is stunning, so very romantic If you looking to have a small intermate wedding, this is the place. Thank you so much for our memories Michelle

    Breathtaking views. Property is right on the beach so easy access from the property. Friendly staff and breakfast is included. Parking can be a bit of an issue if the place is fully booked.

    Love the place. Very cosy. Old but very neat. Bfast was great. Best part is that you sleep with the actual sounds of the ocean. It is right on the beach.

    Two week ago on Sunday rockedup in Melkbos and was looking for accommodation for the night. Saw Beach Villa and knock on the door and Tandi open the door with a friendly welcome and we got room 1. This goes out onto the beach ,what else could we want. All i can say this will definitely be my next first stop when going to Capetown. THANKS Thandi keep it up.

  • 5/5 surine v. 2 years ago on Google
    Me and my husband eloped on 22/09/2021 at The Beach Villa Guesthouse and it was the best decision ever. From day one contacting them to start the planning up untill we left 2days after getting married, we were assisted by very professional, caring and wonderful staff. It was all we ever wanted and more. The view you get waking up in the morning from the honeymoon suite was breathtaking, the rooms were cleaned every day and the food was amazing. We had such a great time and will definitely go back for our anniversaries. Thanks to them we had the best experience ever.

  • 5/5 Adelle H. 6 years ago on Google
    We were welcomed warmly by Thandi and Ava. Thandi explained the set-up to us and escorted us to our room. We were made feeling very welcome with a friendly smile and tasty breakfast every morning. The room was cleaned daily and the pool sparkling and inviting with a full view of the beach. We visited for 3 nights and I will definitely visit again.

  • 4/5 Larry W. 6 years ago on Google
    Beautiful location right on the beach. Rooms were good and morning breakfast was complimentary. They are willing to cook a breakfast to order. There is no air conditioning that I saw, but with our room facing the ocean the sea breeze was enough.

  • 5/5 Nicolene O. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience was so relaxing, that I almost didn't want to leave. The Beach Villa is a great escape. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the full experience that The Beach Villa had to offer. Will definitely be coming back.

  • 5/5 khusyG G. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended for an elopement or an intimate wedding. Breathtaking views, amazing staff (Thandi is a GIFT) and a great atmosphere all round. One of the few accommodation establishments that is pet friendly. Worth every penny in my books!!

  • 5/5 Albert van W. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was REALLY friendly and excited to have us there. Breakfast was included, and it was a proper sized breakfast. The room were neat and clean and the view was spectacular. Definitely a place I will visit again.

  • 1/5 Liza B. 1 year ago on Google
    We booked and paid 3 months in advance doing a roadtrip around cape town and would have slept over for one night only. They phoned us 3 days before we would have arrived and told us they double booked us and had to cancel our stay. I in fact personally don't believe they 'double booked' us by accident but rather had someone wanting to stay there for longer over the time period and we were the spanner in the works.

  • 5/5 Ebert H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent location, right on the beach. The staff are very friendly helpful and upbeat, just amazing. Near everything in Melkbos, a 5mins walk to the nearest myciti bus terminal, a 15 beach stroll to the restaurants, and 25mins walk to the bearest mall (5mins drive). The rooms are well spaced, we had the top balcony room with sea views, which was great. Well done.

  • 3/5 Pamela N. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely location but it is very old and requires renovation. Staff friendly and helpful.

  • 1/5 Gareth B. 1 year ago on Google
    Book the honeymoon Room view is great but the jacuzzi had no warm water and it was leaking and also had no warm water the morning to wash

  • 2/5 Vee vd M. 1 year ago on Google
    There is no doubt that the location is a good one. But unfortunately your total experience doesn't stop with the view! So we were firstly allocated a room that did not have sea views, which was totally acceptable as the booking we made on the Friday, was an "off-the-cuff" one, and we did have a booking for a Seaview room for the Saturday, so it was something to look forward to. The first room we were booked into...was not "a crowd pleaser"... *and here is why I say this; It over-looks the guesthouse parking area ( which isn't the real issue), the entrance gate that opens and shuts to let guests in and out...riding/ or those walking, was the big issue. Its very noisy when in action, and also busy. We found ourselves with very few peaceful moments ( also going into the late night and early hours of the morning) which we found unacceptable and annoying. So watch out for this if you do consider staying there.( ask room location). There also happened to be a wedding at the Guesthouse on the Friday (*which we were not made aware of when we made our booking-so watch out for this point, its an important question to ask, especially if you are thinking of booking ahead of your function, or on holiday*)...so sadly on the Friday, we were not able to use the guesthouse's public area as it was settup for the wedding ( we were confined to our room- if I knew that there was a wedding, I really would have booked a seaside apartment somewhere else). If my memory serves me well, the guesthouse has a policy of no noise after 9 or 10pm....*well this policy was not enforced!!! *The wedding crowd was loud, and noisy...gathering below our balcony to continue their festivities later in the eve, and before reving and taking off in their vehicles...(only for some of them to return later and continue being noisy outside and inside, and into the early hours of the morning). Don't get me wrong, Im very happy for the bridal party, it is a happy occasion for them...but not at the cost of the paying guests, its just wrong, and it should be addressed properly by at least having someone on duty throughout the night ( someone visible). I totally blame the Guesthouse management team that were on-duty that evening- but there was no one around to complain to-not even a night watchman! Which begs the question, was there even any security- I didn't see any??? There was no one visiable to complain to, not even a night watchman...its a real big concern, especially with the beach being a public area and there is nothing securing the house from the beach. At the breakfast table the next morning we sat opposite a lady who actually complained about the noise to one of the staff members, (the staff member's attitude was not negative, but more of "Its done now, so you will need to get over it now". Thats when I decided it won't make a difference if we complain as well, it wasn't going to go further than the table we sat at. But as a Wedding Supplier and Blogger, I could make a difference by sharing what I experienced and let potential guests know what could possibly happen if they don't ask the correct questions when booking their holiday or wedding. Getting back to the room/s....I found in both rooms, the bathroom floors were very tacky...it seriously needed more than a splash-from-a-mop, it needs some real attention- I didn't want to walk bare foot on them, plus our rooms TV didn't work...surely these things are checked before people book into the room? I also did not enjoy the view of the washing line with all the rags...surely the Guesthouse can find a spot out of the view of guests? It just isn't very classy.l

  • 3/5 Leon de N. 9 months ago on Google
    Well, to start off, the location is amazing with amazing views. The room was a disappointment. Bed was very uncomfortable. At least the DSTV worked, so you had something to watch when you couldn't sleep. The bath also didn't work, I guess the jets are just for the look. The staff there are not the best,but very friendly. Breakfast was also not bad..... so yes, not bad, but definitely not a wow experience.

  • 3/5 Hilary N. 1 year ago on Google
    We sadly had no view whatsoever. We were 4 people staying together and my friend specifically wanted a room with a view because her boyfriend was not from the area. The only view was at breakfast the next morning. The room had only one bathroom which was not ideal as the happy couple had the main bedroom with the ensuite so everytime one of us wanted to use it we had to knock and hope for the best. The second room had a bedside table on one side but not on the other so if you had a drink or snacks you had to put it on the floor.We checked to see if there was maybe a lack of space but there wasn't so probably just a case of couldn't be bothered. We had breakfast during loadshedding which was great but when we wanted toast we were told the toaster couldn't be plugged in. Please teach your staff to make toast in a pan. Can I suggest more transparency when making the booking and taking peoples hard earned cash? The room we were in should definitely be used as a family room ie. Mother, father, kids.

  • 4/5 Adele R. 4 years ago on Google
    Literally on the beach! Nice verandah, 4/5 for breakfast, strong wifi signal. Clean and nice looking rooms. Couple of suggestions to owners: TV did not work or I did not know how to turn it on - show your guests and make sure it works, no tel nr list, I did not see any small soaps/gel/shampoo, no bottle of water in room. Besides this, it was a great stay and i will book again

    Wow, this is a place called home, i don't think i can find anywhere such friendly, helpful staff like the Beach Villa staff. Absolutely great staff. I always choose beach villa when ever i want to relax and enjoy the beach life with my wife & kids. Know that at Beach Villa every person are treated like Kings & Queens. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby.

    Beautiful breakaway for a romantic evening. The staff are verry friendly and helpfull, I would highly recommend Beach Villa Guest House!

  • 3/5 Derek G. 3 years ago on Google
    The location of the accommodation is perfect. The view from the rooms is also very nice and one could not ask for better. From the porch and also the bed, you get a full sea view and you are on the beach. Almost like a Private Beach. But, unfortunately, the service, neatness and hygiene leave much to be desired. - The bathroom was not very clean, there was mildew between the tiles and also in the shower. The bathrooms are also very old, and not very neatly maintained. There is no ventilation and it smells bad. At full open, the hot water takes about 5-6 minutes to arrive. - The room was also cleaned right in front, behind the bed pillars and cupboards wasΒ not cleaned. - Smoking is allowed on the porch of each room, it is very annoying for non smokers if someone is sitting right next to you and smoking and the smoke draws into you and into your room. - We were not very well received. The staff member's uniform was very dirty and it seemed like we were not expected. We asked for a bottle of sparkling wine on arrival in our room, it was not prepared and we received it later. Nothing promised on booking was prepared nor received.Β  The next morning at breakfast she was still wearing the same clothes with stains on her shirt. - Braai facilities are offered, but without any wood. - The card machine was out of order, but we got a discount for the cost of withdrawing cash. - The TV is not a smart TV, and has only 3-4 channels. - There is no air conditioning, and the roof fan did not work either. - Our room door could not be locked from the inside - There is off-street parking, but the gate is not closed by staff. The parking is also very cramped.
