“Balfour Place Guesthouse strikes me as a smart choice in Camps Bay; the location is ideal, just steps from the beach, and those upper-floor balconies promise memorable sunset views. It seems a genuinely appealing blend of attentive service and self-catered flexibility; I'd recommend it particularly for couples wanting a relaxed, convenient stay. It's a solid option with some real advantages.”
