Expert review of Sea Five Boutique Hotel
This luxe guesthouse is just a road away from the buzzing Camps Bay strip.
Camps Bay may be a seaside suburb but it's also the city's Copacabana, where sunkissed party people come out to play, where cabriolets create traffic jams along the palm tree lined Victoria Road as the drivers simultaneously look to their right to see what's happening on the beach and look to their left to check whether there's anybody they know at pavement hotspots like Café Caprice and keep an eye out for parking. Sea Five is more luxe serviced guest house than boutique hotel as it calls itself, though certainly no less sophisticated. With seven bedrooms it's a stylish bolthole for those travelling en masse and its perfect location, just a road away from Victoria Road, is a popular bet for travelling trendsetters.
Location:
You'll find this luxe enclave hidden in a quiet road 300 metres away from the busy Camps Bay strip and the beach.
Bedrooms:
There are seven en-suite rooms here, each of which is decorated in Italian linen and muted colours that reflect the seaside environment. Understated and elegant - the sea-facing rooms are certainly the ones you'll want though the mountain facing rooms have their own impressive vistas. The upstairs Penthouse Suite is both spacious and stylish, with a glorious view of the ocean.

Public areas:
The central lounge is a comfy yet elegant space with a welcoming atmosphere and splashes of sparkle in the otherwise understated decor. It spills out onto the pool terrace and also plays host to a sizeable bar where cocktails are on offer come sundown.
Eating and drinking:
Breakfast is included from a small but stylish menu while lunches and dinners are available on request (hence the guest house as opposed to hotel note above). The staff will happily make reservations at any local eateries.
Leisure facilities:
Guests can play right on their doorstep - with its position so close to Camps Beach and the happening 'strip' where beach bars, cafés and restaurants are filled with sunkissed locals. It's possible to be reading your book on the terrace one moment and dancing at Café Caprice down the road the next. The staff are able to arrange anything from gym visits to excursions on demand.
Service:
Personal service and attention to detail sets this seaside escape apart from its peers.
