We are proud to make some announcements that we are sure you will like. Milkwood Suite All our rooms are individually designer decorated and we have just completed redecorating and refurbishing the Milkwood Suite with a sophisticated contemporary African style. All the pieces have been carefully selected to bring together a unique and interesting collection of African textures. There are some fun quirky pieces too, like the two multi-coloured coloured giraffes that join you at the bar. Milkwood Suite is a large spacious area of 63 sq m and ideal for the whole family. The bedroom has a large king size bed with a balcony from which you have a magnificent view of the gardens and the ocean. The lounge has ample living and relaxing space, a second balcony and a fully equipped kitchen. It is designed to comfortably accommodate a third person. No compromises have been made on the bathroom and room amenities which show our commitment to attaining the highest level of standards for our guests. Luxury and service are our hallmarks of excellence. And it is in all the many details where we delight and please our guests. TAPAS - little dishes with big flavour. Taste the essence of the Cape! In September, Master Chef Laurencio de Freitas joined our team at Ocean View House. Among his previous appointments, he was Chef at The Shelley Point Hotel & Spa, Conrad Hilton Hotels in the USA and Executive Chef at the SA Consulate in Chicago. In addition to our tasty breakfast, we will now be serving snacks for our guests. Chef Laurencio has put together a delicious menu of light meals and snacks which are served daily between 10:00 and 15:00. The full Tapas menu is available Friday evenings from 17:00 to 19:00 with prior arrangements, if you are planning to chill out at the hotel for the day, or meet with friends. The tapas are medley of typical South African flavours made with the freshest of ingredients. There are few things so pleasant as a picnic! Cape Town is the perfect place for having picnics. There is nothing more relaxing than heading off for an unhurried day and stopping for a picnic at some idyllic spot along the way. One could even argue that your experience of Cape Town would not be complete without a picnic. At Ocean View House, we now make this possible for our guests. Just place your order in the evening and we'll put together a scrummy picnic for you. Then take off and enjoy the beautiful Cape, stop off for a picnic... and the rest is up to you! Whether your picnic is at the top Table Mountain looking down the city, the ocean and the Cape Peninsula; or whether you stop over on a wine estate and look up at the mountains through the famous Cape vineyards. Or maybe you find a private secluded cove on the beach where time stands still; or perhaps you head into the forests or gardens. Maybe you want to hang glide from Table Mountain to the white sands of fashionable Camps Bay beach. We have so many ideas about what to do and where to go, that no matter what you like, we will find the perfect spot for you! Our picnic basket (which caters for 2 people) is R275 per basket.
