Top notch hosts and home
We stayed for 3 nights, 6 adults with 2 seniors. The downstairs bedrooms were perfect to keep them safe. The hosts were beyond accommodating. The South African art and charm of the home was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend this home.

Fantastic eclectic house close to beach
This is a super fun 5 bedroom house in Camps Bay so close to the ocean ! We loved the location , the rooms, the ability to relax and enjoy time together in the living room . A fully serviceable kitchen with a beautiful cake provided by the host as well as coffee, yogurt and I can’t remember what else. The hosts were quick to respond and far exceeded all of our expectations. We would definitely return .

Great Camps Bay home
This place is absolutely fantastic. Centrally located and close to the beach, all the restaurants and the grocery store. Very safe house and location. Huge plus for travelers, particularly those without cars. There is a nice, safe place for a vehicle but we just did Ubers. Centrally located to the major sites. Wonderful that all five bedrooms have their own baths pretty much. We loved the pool. Sure helped with achy muscles after doing table mountain. Comfortably decorated. Definitely recommend this house.

Fantastic house, fantastic location
Thank you for your very welcoming stay at your property. 5 minutes walk to the shops and beach, however lounging by the pool and cooking BBQ's made our stay very relaxing. The house was well equipped in every way, from spices in the kitchen to extra pool towels in each bedroom, thank you

Absolutely gorgeous stay
We had an amazing time at Shirley’s home. As it is a real home, you feel so welcomed and comfortable right away. The house is huge with everything you need. The view from the garden and the balcony is stunning, onto lions head and table mountain. The house is only a short stroll away from the beach, the supermarket and the restaurants. Perfect location! Shirley, her husband and Virginia are fabulous hosts! We can highly recommend the house and hope we will be back some day.

Lucky find in Camps Bay
Owners were excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by their housekeeper, Virginia, who kept the house immaculate and even did our laundry. The house was accurately described, very comfortable, very well-equipped and well located and secure. Although our overall rating is excellent there was no central heating so in winter months it is a bit cold. But this one downside is small when compared to the atmosphere and ease of living there for the week we spent.

Home Sweet Home - Excellent
This property was perfect for our family of 8! Shirley has thought of everything from welcoming messages, some breakfast foods, beach bags ready to go in each room, coffee and tea and a wonderful housekeeper who helped keep us in clean clothes. The location is excellent - mere steps from the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. A very comfortable and welcoming home away from home. LOL...she even had face cloths which no one else seems to offer in SA. Thanks for a great stay! Judy and family

About the host

Hosted by Shirley Engers

Host profile image
My husband and I were both born in Cape Town and lived here all our lives. We both went to the University of Cape Town. I am a retired school teacher specialising in special needs and Keith is still practising law. I travel to London once a year to visit my brother and sister who both live there. I am a keen tennis player and Keith is a golfer.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house 32 years ago. Both my children were brought up in the house. They have both moved out now and for the last 20 years we have been running this once family home as a guest Villa.

What makes this property unique

It is in the best position in Camps Bay as you can walk everywhere. All guests who stay here feel very much at home as it has a wonderful relaxed feel about it and the house has so much charm and character. It is very safe for children and we also have a pool net.
