If you are looking for a place to escape the bustle of Cape Town city centre then this place is a must! Located only 5 mins by car from beautiful beachfront overlooked by Lions head these appartments are modern, stylish, comfortable and clean with daily maid service. The location of the appt is close to table mountain cable car station... More

Myself and my wife travelled to South Africa for our honeymoon in October 2012 and decided to base ourself in Camps Bay to explore Cape Town. V&A Waterfront is 15minutes or so in a cab so you literally are on the doorstep. Table Mountain is not even a 5 minute drive away so you are right in the centre of... More

The apartment was well appointed and very comfortable. Great location and wonderful views of the ocean from the balcony. Easy walk down the hill to all the shops and restaurants. Looking forward to our next visit.

An abundance of facilities in a quiet location with excellent views of both Camps Bay and with Table Mountain directly behind the complex. We had a car so the seafront was 3 minutes away down the hill. Once you had got through the garage complex to reception and onwards to appartments the standards were very high. I failed to sort...

There was a problem with our request for a twin and a double formatted room, only two double format available when we arrived .... Shouldn't have happened but we were upgraded to a villa at no extra cost, don't get better than that. Spent one night at Crystal location and apartment great would return if in Camps Bay.

Good apartment, a little noisy at times, strange reception/entrance but otherwise OK. Staff friendly and helpful. Internet variable, but OK if you stood by the entrance door. Would certainly consider returning if I wanted to stay in Camps Bay.

We stayed our first 5 nights of our trip here and it was a great start. The apartment was beautifully appointed with a nice balcony. The apartment was cleaned daily and the beds made. Its well suited for the restaurants in Camps Bay and also to visit Table Mountain and Cape Point.

Stayed here for 11 nights. The apartment itself is a little small with limited space for luggage etc however it was spotless with all the necessary amenities. The decoration and furniture were of a very high standard, the kitchen well equipped, must mention the extracor fan above stove was very low..eye level so you had to bend over to use... More

We stayed for 6 nights and found the location perfect for exploring Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula. There is a good choice of restaurants in Camps Bay which is also close enough to the V&A in Cape Town to be able to drive in for a evening meal. The Crystal is secure, well equipped and comfortable but this is... More

Good security, safe car parking. Tricky to navigate around the Crystal as one had to return to the basement each time before ascending to another part of the building. Excellent assistance from staff in the rather strange 'Reception' area in the basement car park. They were happy to book Table Mountain trips and restaurants. Modern room with (from ground floor)...
