wonderful. besutiful view

Ray and Sancha were perfect hosts. The views from the apartment were truly incredible. The apartment was clean and modern including a mini bar which was a bonus as we had driven a long way that day. Went to Harbour House restaurant nearby which is highly recommended
Nothing. Couldn't be faulted
Very friendly hosts, clean & comfortable room with an incredible view! Highly recommend
Amazing view
Ein Frühstück in einem relaxten Beach-Bistro direkt am Strand wird angeboten, wir fanden es toll und entspannend.
Das Boutique B&B war wirklich wunderschön. Besonders die Aussicht direkt aus dem Bett auf das Städtchen war einfach traumhaft. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt und haben es sehr genossen.
Braucht Uber oder ein Auto um zurück ins B & B.
Ruime kamer en prachtig uitzicht.
WiFi was niet optimaal.
Tolle Unterkunft mit Mega toller Aussicht!!
Great view from the top of the mountain with lovely owners helping and showing you around. Only downside was the breakfast at the Galley which didnt have the healthiest options und not best service. Highly recommend the B&B
Host was very helpful and beautiful views
Beautiful views and a secure location.

Beds are not that comfortable
Lovely friendly hosts in a fabulous location with beautiful views of Fish Hoek beach and across False Bay. The room was enormous with a comfy bed and proper block curtains.
Would have loved to have a lounger on the patio to lie and enjoy the gorgeous view. Would have also liked a coffee plunger or Nespresso machine.
Хозяева тепло встретили при заселении, показали номер, все было чисто, потрясающий вид с балкона. Ожидание и реальность совпали. Было немного прохладно вечером, но на этот случай предусмотрено одеяло с подогревом.

Exceptional welcome and introduction to the room and its amenities! Fully stocked mini bar and snack station (not often seen anymore in SA) Beautiful views across Fish Hoek Bay! The bed was so comfortable too. Clinically clean, it is really amazing how “perfect Ray and Sanchia are running this beautiful B&B! Worthy of 10/10/10/10/10. I travel a LOT and stay in 100’s of hotels / BnB a year, this perfect place surpasses them all! Highly recommended. I stayed 3 nights but could have stayed longer!
Absolutely nothing!
The view from the bedroom is just amazing day and night! The bedroom and bathroom were super clean, and the comfort of the bed was top. I received lots of recommendations for restaurants and cafe around the accommodation and it was delicious! Note: you definitely need a car to access as this is a the top of a steep road (to give you the most amazing view :))
Super aardige en vriendelijke man (Ray) die ons ontving in het mooie appartement. Hij hielp ons met tips qua bezienswaardigheden en eetplekken voor avond en ontbijt. Ook een enorm leuk gesprek gehad met hem en maakte hij het begin van onze vakantie meteen goed. Enorm schoon en mooi verblijf ook, met een enorm mooi uitzicht. Dit is de plek waar je wil zitten om de vakantie goed te beginnen of om even te ontspannen.
Niks te bedenken!
need customer reserve water ,it will decrese the influence
Comfortable private-with thee most wonderful view of fish hoek beach sea and surrounding mountains-what a view to wake up 2-feeling blessed

Everything was great. Guest that can not navigate steps will not be able to stay here.
EVERYTHING..The owners are exceptionally kind..their rooms, or atleast mine was breath taking. The bed and pillows were luscious, firm bed and fluffy pillows. Everything was perfect and i would definitely go back..This is perfect 2-4 day getaway paradise bed, breakfast and sunrise..Loved It.

I visited for a week for a wedding of friends, this accommodation is wonderful, clean and with a breathtaking view of fishhoek town and beach. Only a 15 min walk to the beach or couple of mins drive down the hill. Ray was fantastic and the room cleaner was lovely. The room comes with a safe, a fridge and a mini bar full of refreshments. My stay here exceeded my expectations and I really wasn’t ready to leave. Overall had a fantastic stay, felt very welcome here and look forward to returning. We had a few problems with Uber so Ray also kindly gave us a lift down to the beach cafe when checking out. Thankyou
Great views and beautiful location as described but once there so much better!
The views were stunning, even if it was a bit of a drive up the mountainside. One of our guests had been very sick and the owners went out of their way to assist us in finding treatment and accommodating a late check out. The accommodations were pristine and beautifully appointed and breakfast at the beach was wonderful! I couldn’t recommend this guest house more!
Nothing
A lovely modern property perched on the mountain side with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Fish Hoek Bay. Our room was large and comfortable with a kettle and fridge stocked with drinks. You do really need a car - it’s a very steep road up through a residential area to the property but there’s off road parking. For breakfast, you’re given a voucher for a beachside cafe about 2 miles away - the reviews of the restaurant were not good but we found it a great location on the beach, staff were friendly and food was fine. A good stay that we really enjoyed.
See comment re breakfast (but in the end, it was really nice and fun to eat on the beach)
Attention to detail. Absolutely perfect
Nothing
Ray an excellent host was waiting for us upon arrival. Breakfast was provided offsite with the hosts nominated restaurant and was excellent
Ray and Cynthia are very welcoming and kind hosts. The accommodation was extremely clean with attention paid to details (e.g. overview of nearby restaurants ranked in EUR). The view from the room overlooking False Bay is absolutely breath taking! We only stayed for two nights, would definitely recommend!
Nothing
Stunning view from room over beautiful Fish Hoek Bay - watching birds visiting the garden and beach goers far below. Ray and Sanchia couldn't have been more helpful, and we only wish we could have stayed another day. The place was immaculately clean and well equipped with every comfort.
Location - The view is just spectacular! Room was super comfy and extremely neat and clean. Bedding is white and of grear quality. Ray and Sanchia are super helpful and friendly hosts. The cute dogs are a bonus!
Comfortable and spacious room with great views. Friendly and attentive service.
Nothing
Even though we only stayed for two nights, it was really worth it. Ray and Sanchia were super helpful with anything we asked for or requested, the view is even more awe inspiring when you see it compared to the photos. The room is very spacious with all the usual amenities, as well as a few snacks and drinks and house keeping every day; if you need it. Lots of things to do around and nice places to eat. Don't be scared of the steps, they are definitely doable ;)
Great hosts, views and comfort all round.
Our room was amazing, spotless and it had everything we needed. Amazing views of the beach and surroundings. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We are definitely going back again soon.
Loved everything, nothing negative at all.
Amazing view, spacious and clean room and super friendly hosts!
1 Mountain Road has some of the best views from the peninsula, overlooking Fish Hoek, False Bay and the beach. Ray and Sanchia are excellent hosts, and even messaged me with some area updates that were happening. I stayed in Room 2, but they all have similar amazing views, and I assume similar facilities. The bed was very comfortable, the shower had good water pressure, and there is loads of cupboard space, including a digital safe. The fridge/mini-bar is a nice touch. It came well-stocked and was very reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the setting during my stay. Two options for breakfast were included - a continental breakfast served at the B&B with advance notice, and a daily voucher for a group of restaurants down the road by the beach. Also great is that there is an access path to Elsie's Peak very close by, which I hiked up in about 25 minutes to watch an awesome sunrise from. The path is very rocky and steep, but also very worth it!
There was nothing I disliked about my stay. Everything was well in order. One thing to note, which the B&B does list in its description, is to be prepared to walk down a flight of +-25 steps with your bags (and back up when you check out). This was no issue as I was made well-aware in advance.
Very nice view and location. Everything was there what was needed, we had a nice stay. Very friendly and helpful hosts.
We were a bit late that day and knew it was close to make the check-in deadline on 7pm. We contacted the hosts 24hrs upfront but unfortunately there was no flexibility at all for a late checkin and the hosts live in the same building. All in all it worked out but a bit more of flexibility would have been nice.
First of all, the location is very exclusive, and the view is stunning. You could spend your vacation there at any time of the year and you would always be guaranteed a very nice atmosphere since the room is basically absorbed by the stunning view with this bigterrace. So even in winter a must go. Also, it is very clean and very comfortable. Lastly, the owners Ray and his wife are just super friendly and very supportive hosts. I really enjoyed the restaurant recommendations and the overall atmosphere in their beautiful home. They have a deal with a restaurant at the beach which you can go to by foot and 10-15 minutes which is a very nice routine in the morning. They recommend to have a car which I had not and I didn’t regret that. It’s like an extra fun activity to go down the stairs with your swimming shorts. Have a good swim in the morning and then have breakfast for example, waffles or fish while listening to the sound of the waves and later go back up to your apartment.
Literally every detail I liked
One of a kind mountain location looking into the bay! Amazing owners and modern rooms. Scenic views from our balcony were incredible. Highly recommended!
Absolutely loved my two-day stay at 1 Mountain Road Boutique Bed and Breakfast! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. My room was spotless, with comfortable linens and small, thoughtful details. The views of the surrounding mountains were breathtaking, especially at sunrise, which I could watch right from my window. It was a real treat waking up to such a serene setting! Overall, if you’re looking for a peaceful escape with a touch of elegance, 1 Mountain Road is perfect. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!
Ray and his wife were very hospitable and we're excellent hosts, definitely recommend staying here. The room is spacious with excellent views. Heated blankets were a huge hit with us. The area itself is very relaxed and the restaurant where you have your breakfast is great and located on the beach.
You would need a car as the bnb is located on the top of a small hill which is a difficult walk up and down.
Location up on the hill felt safe and views were stunning. Comfy room, but the floors were a little cold. Heat pump was unfortunately broken, but an alternative heat source was found.
Not only are the views breathtaking, the hosts also thought of every little detail, making us feel welcome and ensuring that we were comfortable. It felt like home away from home with a comfy bed, king size pillows, electric blankets, a full hairdryer, gowns and slippers, and so much more. They made myself and my family feel welcome, making me a cappuccino while I was working late at night. When my son left his old boys school tie in the cupboard, Ray came looking for us after check-out to give it back to him. Special people and a hidden gem, I would highly recommend staying at 1 Mountain View.
Can't fault anything.
The view is absolutely stunning, and from room 2 you have the sunrise visible from your bed! The terrace allows great evening relax time with the sound of the waves. The rooms are tidy, very clean and there is everything you need and more. The cleaning service is 5 star as well. Parking is on the street with plenty of space. I strongly recommend this solution when you are in the area.
There are 25 steps (it is mentioned in the description) which you have to carry your bags, but it's worth the effort. You need a vehicle as well, as walking from Fish Hoek is a challenge for the strong at heart. Breakfast is not included, but in front of the Calders hotel there is a little caffe which serves the best pastries!!
It’s located up a hill, nice and quiet with great views of the bay. Photos accurate, spotless rooms and host made us feel right at home. Two options for breakfast, at the unit or at a local bistro.
All good
This b&b is a must when visiting Fish Hoek / Kalk Bay. Ray is such a nice host and the rooms are amazing. Clean, comfy bed, stunning view, top price. Not much to say!
The view was sensational, and the bed is good! Provision is made for loadshedding, so it does not affect the guests. The hosts are very friendly and attentive. We will be back!
Absolutely an amazing place. Fantastic hoasts. Brilliantly clean and comfortable. A car is required as the address indicates its on top of a mountain. Perfect views just stunning all round.
Nothing at all prefect for us and Ray and his wife couldn't do enough for you.
Beautiful, clean, contemporary accommodation with lovely friendly hosts.
Realistically it's not possible to walk into town due to the elevation, but then you get that view!
Awseome view. Extremely clean. Friendly host
Hospitality, location, cleanness.

Views superb, quiet, hosts so helpful. Nothing too much trouble for them.
You need a car to reach the sea front and other amenities unless very fit!
Location was exceptional!!! The most beautifull view over Fish hoek with great hosts
Nothing
From the time that I made the booking Ray and Sanchia were friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and went the extra mile to arrange breakfast for me as I had to leave early in the mornings. Their attention to detail was applaudable and their location is breathtaking.
Nothing to mention.
continental breakfast very good . Location and views of bay were great. Very spacious accommodation and bed was super comfy
nothing
The views from our room were amazing! The room was well equipped with lots of welcome little extras. The property was super clean and the hosts were welcoming and informative.
Although we appreciated the property was on a mountainside and benefitted from incredible views we did not understand how difficult it would be to walk up the steep hill from the beach. It would be the perfect property if we had a car. We did use UBER but they were not always available for such short (but very steep) trips.
Incredible views with everything you need in the rooms.
Absolutely nothing
Perhaps one of the best views in South Africa. Very clean.
Stunning location with an amazing view over a beautiful bay. Check in and hosting was very friendly, struck the right balance between being attentive but not overly so to allow space and relaxation. The property is also protected from the regular load shedding (power cuts) that South Africa is subject to, which is a bonus not always found in more expensive places. Also, spotlessly clean, which is repeated daily by the excellent housekeeping staff.
Only tiny negative is that it is up quite a steep hill, but then you wouldn't have the view, so swings and roundabouts.
It was up the hill but WOW 😮. Outstanding views from the room and balcony. The place is new and kept spotless. Lovely touches like drinks and snacks at cost. Highly recommend if you are travelling by car
Nothing
The accommodation is almost new, just a few years in operation. Huge rooms with beautiful view over the bay. Ray is very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the nice stay.
The view was spectacular
There was nothing from outside
It was splendid and well worth the money.
