Casa de férias excepcional com vista panorâmica em Camps Bay

We’re so glad you enjoyed your time at Sun Lion Villa. The setting and views over Camps Bay are something special, and it’s wonderful to know they made your stay memorable. Thank you for choosing us for your getaway—we’d love to host you again whenever you return to Cape Town.

Thank you so much, for your thoughtful feedback and for taking the time to review. We’re delighted you felt warmly welcomed and enjoyed the little touches like the wine and chocolates. It’s wonderful to hear that Sun Lion Villa’s location and views made your stay special, and that the amenities suited your family so well. We appreciate your note about the stairs and agree it’s best suited to older children and teens. Hosting you was a pleasure, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back again.

Thank you, for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that our team could quickly resolve the minor issues and that you felt supported throughout your stay. We're so pleased you got to enjoy the amazing view, and we appreciate your note about the stairs for guests with mobility concerns. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime.

Dear Venesse. So sorry to hear that you found the steps too hard to manage, though we are glad you were otherwise comfortable staying in the villa. (Clarah, our manager and housekeeper who checked you in, thought you were absolutely delightful guests, by the way!) We do clearly describe the steps near the start of the property description in the online posting, so it is unfortunate you seem not to have spotted that when booking the villa. (It was also a factor we consider when determining the rental charge). In the online posting we describe the climb as the equivalent of 3 storeys in vertical height (3x 22 steps per storey) and while some may not mind a light workout when on holiday, it is indeed not suitable for guests who are elderly and/or have medical issues.

Thank you so much for taking the time review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the incredible deck views and the flexible indoor/outdoor table setup — it’s always lovely to hear that guests were able to make the most of the space and surroundings. We appreciate you pointing out the smaller maintenance items. We will be sure to address them to ensure future guests have a smoother experience. The home is indeed one of the originals in the area, and while we love its character and charm, we absolutely take your feedback on board regarding its overall feel and upkeep. We are continually working on upgrades and improvements, and constructive feedback like yours helps us prioritise where attention is needed most. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Thank you for your kind words, Amina, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!

The steps are equivalent to three stories in elevation (two stories from street level to pool, and one from pool level to house). This has the positive side-effect of providing a higher level of privacy, and also acts as a natural deterrent to potentially 'unwanted visitors' (in addition the existing alarm system), which might partly explain Sun Lion's lack of crime history in the 20 years I have owned it. Despite the 'advantages' of the steps, they are also the reason I offer the house at reasonable rates in comparison to other Camps Bay properties, and without them, the view would not be so spectacular from the top!

Hi Kathryn, Thanks for the review and comments. Shame you didn't reach out to Clarah about the lightbulbs and lanterns, because we normally keep extra bulbs in store for when they need replacement, and if the reserves are low or exhausted, she has a kitty to spend to replenish reserves. She just needs to be informed. Likewise, if you had let her know you needed to use the tumble dryer, she would have given you access, as it is under lock and key in the pool room under the deck and is normally used for bedclothes during changeovers. To maintain your privacy, all your queries and requests can easily be communicated to her via WhatsApp text. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Best Regards, Anthony.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear you found the house clean and comfortable. It was a great pleasure hosting you and we're so pleased that you enjoyed a relaxed stay and could spend extra time in the house before departure. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Dear Marjolein, thank you for your friendly and helpful comments. We are glad you enjoyed the house and pool and views, and are so sorry to hear about your encounter with some uninvited bugs! It will be too late for you to benefit now, but right after your visit we had the entire property fumigated, and we will continue to do so at regular intervals whenever the villa is empty for any length of time to keep that that problem at bay for future guests, and for you too if you decide to return another day! Best wishes for the New Year.
