Best room in Simons Town?

3 night stay in the honeymoon suite and suspect that this is the loveliest room in Simons Town. The balcony with the braai was a great spot for drinks and dinner. Kitchen area was well equipped and the hostess very attentive to our needs, making for a relaxing stay e.g. informed us of expected load shedding and provided a gas ring for use if necessary. Didn't actually use the pool but it looked lovely and the grounds were very well kept. An immaculate property, highly recommended.

Very nice property in a beautiful location. Well kept with all the amenities you would expect and more. The couple that runs the property are extremely friendly and helpful, providing various updates and tips throughout my stay. The location itself was fantastic, with an amazing view of boulders beach. The unit is well equipped for loadshedding. The property is secure and the area never made me feel unsafe. Thank you so much!

The perfect guesthouse with a view to die for

Penguins View Guesthouse is one of the best places we have stayed at on our road trip around SA. The views, the comfort, the amenities and so on were just 1st class. The Guesthouse provided such comfortable towels, beach towels, tons of pillows and wonderful bedlinen. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything. The pool and bar area were so clean and fun too. Heather the owner gave us little tips on where to swim etc and this was invaluable. We just loved it all.

Great location!! Just off a golf course and a 5 minute walk from Boulders Beach. Super cute rooms with comfortable beds and lots of amenities. Heather is so responsive and went above and beyond to meet our needs. If you go to Simon Town, this is a beautiful place to stay. Make sure you get Shepard as your driver if you need one. He was amazing!!!!

Great accommodations within easy walking distance to view the Penguin Colony at Boulders Beach. Superb location to drive south along the coast to Cape Point and close to Simons Town

Perfect place to stay to see penguins at Boulders National Park. And easy walking distance to Simon’s Town, a lovely village with great shops and pubs. The owner recommended a wonderful tour guide, Shepherd. He picked us up at the airport and took us on wonderful drives in the countryside. Kind and knowledgeable. In a condensed review, Penguin’s View is a 10 star facility in a 5 star world. Book it! You won’t be sorry!

Hübsches Ansehen in Simons Town

Schönes und sehr gut organisiertes Gasthaus in Simons Town in unmittelbarer Nähe der Pinguine. Alles ist sehr gut organisiert. Frühstück gibt es 5min zu Fuss im Boulders Hotels falls man nicht selber kochen will.

とてもステキなホテルです

ひとり旅で宿泊。とてもきれいで、すてきな部屋でした。マウンテンビューに泊まりましたが、バルコニーから海が見え、朝日も見れたので満足です。ボウルダーズビーチがすごく近いのもうれしかったです。また、喜望峰への観光に行く際も、Shepherdさんを紹介して頂き、本当に楽しく過ごせました。全てにおいて、感謝しております。またいつかぜひ泊まりたいです。ありがとうございました。

super emplacement

Cet appartement est situé au plus près de Boulders. Vous pouvez aller visiter la colonie de manchots du cap à pied. La vue est exceptionnelle. L'appartement est joliment décoré, très fonctionnel. Le fourneau à bois est un plus et très convivial. Nous avons passé un très bon et très agréable séjour. Si nous revenons à Simon's Town, c'est sur que nous loueront cet appartement avec plaisir
