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

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

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.

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)

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
