A very large studio with space to chill and a lovely big bed. Nice en-suite facilities with a lovely pool area to catch some rays.
Great shared spaces to relax away from the studio with a great outdoor space to have a bottle of wine or two.
Alex was a wonderful host and was full of local knowledge about places to go and restaurants to eat in.
A bit of a walk into the local town but not an issue

Alex and her staff were outstanding, friendly, helpful and relaxed hosts.
The most important things - clean, crisp bed linen, comfortable bed, and lovely breakfast were all spot on.
The house has been sensitively renovated and has real character. The outdoor spaces are not yet finished but this didn’t detract from the overall experience.
The garden/outside area could be improved for guest relaxation, particularly shade for a windy day on the Cape when umbrellas are not possible

Great location for penguins and also to explore the main town, lots to do nearby. Great sun trap by the pool with 2 wonderful host cats who did a little head boop when they saw you. lovely breezy breakfast room and great little places around eh property to chill out. Also great books scattered around the room and common areas to browse. Alex was super attentive and accommodating.

Very conveniently located walking distance into town and beaches just across the road. Lovely spacious and comfortable room with high ceilings beautifully renovated, you can see with all the little touches the owners have put a lot of love into restoring and decorating the house. Our stay included a fabulous breakfast which can be enjoyed on the terrace with a view of the ocean. Absolute gem. Will definitely be back!
Nothing not to like.

Everything was perfect. The rooms are very clean and beautifully furnished. The beds are comfy. We stayed in apartment 2 which also has a fully equipped kitchen. Alex and her team are super friendly and helpful. She gave us tips what to do and even had snorkels and goggles available. The pool was a bit cold, but very clean and we could relax on the sunbeds. The location is also perfect to visit the penguins at boulders beach by foot, so you do not have to struggle finding a parking spot. Simons Town is also very cute and safe to walk around.

This guest house is a beautiful, charmingly renovated old house in Simon’s Town and we absolutely loved it. The ocean view from our room was breathtaking, the bed very comfortable, and the breakfasts delicious.
There is also a lot of seating in the garden and a nice pool.
The staff were wonderful, and Nic and Alex were amazing hosts who truly made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend this guest house and would come back without hesitation.

We loved the decor and the homely feel. Beautifully proportioned rooms, wonderful views and lots of areas to relax in.
We would have liked to have seen photos of the pool on the properties profile. It’s a nice area and it’s not shown.

This beautiful mansion and its studios were such a lovely surprise during our trip in and around Cape Town! We loved everything about it. Alex is the perfect host, making us feel so welcome, preparing a wonderful breakfast and always happy to chat, give advice or even picking us up when no Uber driver wanted to come and get us! Her partner Nic and the staff are also great, making sure we had everything we needed. And we loved our studio, which had the best bed we've ever had in a hotel, and was so spacious and well equipped. And I haven't even mentioned the amazing main house, with its rich history and beautiful details, that was so beautifully renovated by Alex and Nic. It was nice to be able to hang out in the shade on the deck at the front or in the living room at night. And being animal lovers, we loved the cats! (if you don't, you will only see them outside if you call them). The area was perfect too, close to Boulders Beach and other nice beaches and restaurants. And a nice walk to town, which felt very safe. All in all: the perfect stay in a perfect place!
Everything was perfect, so nothing to say here.

Beautifully renovated building, walking distance to Boulders Beach, with incredible views over the ocean. The owners are super friendly, happy to offer tips and recommendations, and have a great eye for detail - from providing snorkels in your room to games in the communal lounge areas. You’ll have everything you need for a very pleasant stay! From the pool you have an amazing view up the mountain behind the property. Thank you Alex and team, hope to visit again sometime!
I personally found the mattress quite firm - but this completely depends on personal preference!

Beautiful studio, welcoming host. Spotlessly clean. Across the street from the penguin viewing area. Nicely located close to town to eat at local restaurants.
Wifi was spotty at times but not a big deal.

Very clean (also the towels which is usually not the case in South Africa). Not far neither from Boulders Beach, nor from the city center.
We also got some very useful information from the owner. Private parking.

What a great location and set up. So close to beautiful beaches and a short drive into town. Loved the view from our studio and also from the main house. Our studio was spacious and comfortable and we appreciated having use of the well-equipped kitchen in the main house in addition to that of the kitchenette in our studio. Felt like a home away from home and Alex and her staff were so welcoming and helpful. We will definitely go back.

Lovely host welcoming us to the location. It is a nice studio with everything you might for inside and outside (like beach items)
We were introduced to the area with a lot of tips on what to do and what to eat
If you’re sensitive to waking up with sunlight, bring a mask. The sun rises early and shines through the curtains, but that is the only thing I could mention.

Everything was great. Wished we were staying for more than one night.
Property has great location, walking distance to town and the Boulders beach. Private parking on site, the room has everything you could need. Hot water bottles were a nice touch as it was quite chilli at night still.
The main house has beautiful common areas where people can hang out and relax too.
The host Alex was very friendly and gave us recommendations.
There could be a small mirror on the wall in the room but it wasn’t a big deal.

Would have been nice to have electric blanket and a heater to warm room up in winter, the fireplace was lovely but not that effective at heating the room.

The property has a lot character and history and is beautiful to explore some of the original features which still exist.
Just a bit chilly in the cold snap with only the fire place for heating, but not too much of a bother.

Communication before arrival was friendly and clear. The place was easy to find, and I was warmly greeted as soon as I arrived. I was shown around and given helpful tips on where to go and how to get there. The host was incredibly warm and welcoming - I instantly felt like I was on holiday! I will definitely be going back to stay, 1 night wasn't enough.

Such a gem of a place! Literally walking distance to Boulders Beach and down the road from other towns such as Kalk Bay/Fish Hoek. Alex the host could not have been more helpful! She made me feel so comfortable from the start and was so informative about travelling the local area, as well as suggestions for places further into my trip nearer to Cape Town City. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!

Clean and comfortable. Very nice bed. They changed the fridge for a new one as the previous one did not work. Thanks for that!
The entrance to the property very narrow for a double cab bakkie.
Aircon would be nice too!
Unfortunately no view from the room.

The host was in contact with us a few days before our arrival. She gave us the code to open the gate and was in the house when we arrived.
The house is just across the main attraction of simon’s town boulder beach but it is not crowded or noice in the street

Tolles altes Haus mit ausgebauten Ställen oder ehemalige WHG von Angestellten. 6 Zimmer. Wirkt innen ein bißchen wie in Griechenland. Kleine Gänge, alles in weiß. Wunderschöner großer Gemeinschaftsraum, Riesen Tisch mit Balkon. Richtige Küche mit Esstisch.Super Frühstück. Ruhig. Gut gesichert.
Alles gut!

Das Anwesen liegt ca. 5 min. Fußweg entfernt vom Boulder‘s Beach, das war toll um gleich in der Früh loszustarten! Restaurants sind ca. 1 km entfernt. Die Unterkunft hatte viel Charme & die Gastgeber waren sehr sympathisch! Auch unser Wunsch nach einem früheren Frühstück als üblich wurde uns erfüllt - danke dafür! Auch unser Auto durften wir noch nach dem Check Out am Grundstück stehen lassen.
Am Abend wird‘s etwas spooky (liegt einfach am alten Haus), also am besten keine Horrorfilme zum einschlafen schauen ;)

Charme de la maison rénovée et meublée dans un style vintage joli et chaleureux, les employés très gentils, proximité de Boulders Beach.
Absence de chauffage, juste une petite cheminée dans les chambres qui permettait de s'endormir à peu près réchauffés, mais chambre inconfortable sans cela, nos enfants ont eu froid, il faisait 10-12 degrés la nuit dehors et Max 16 la journée. Douches avec robinetterie vintage jolie mais jet très désagréable dans la chambre 1.
