Amazing food, service and view.

5.0 / 10.0

Absolutely exquisite! Every detail is divine. The breakfast is of the highest quality. Unlike any other place I’ve stayed. William, Kate and the staff make you feel at home and that home is elegant and cozy. And the view is everything. Perfect location in between Cape Point and Muizenberg beach. A few minutes drive from Boulders beach. Highly recommend Residence William French!

This is without question the best B&B we’ve rented. 1) Location: we woke up every morning to the sight of the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, as the water glistened under the rising sun. 2) Service: they were attentive, caring, and their response time was speedy. You felt like you had gone home to visit your favorite relatives. The best part about the service was the tiny fur babies that greeted us on arrival and checked on us every morning. 3) Cleanliness and decor: this is the first time I’ve stayed at a B&B and did not feel the need to sanitize the entire flat before getting settled in. The decor screamed ‘glamorously comfortable’. Old world met new world in proportions that were just right enough to make the room a statement piece of its own, fit for a showcased home. 4) Food: thanks to them, I think I’m carrying around an extra 4 pounds. Little homemade pastries, freshly made, always seemed to find their way into our room, hands, and mouths. The breakfast spread was irresistible. On our last day William made Mona, a Spanish bread traditionally served during Easter, that was his grandmother’s culinary treasure. Not only was it delicious, but knowing that we got to enjoy a piece of his family history was priceless. Thank you for an amazing ‘Cape-cation’. We will always stay here whenever we visit Cape Town.

William and his crew were very welcoming and we loved the dogs! The driveway is a bit steep and there is no signage, so we were kind of confused when we first pulled in but the directions were on point. Beautiful home and view. We left before breakfast but were given delicious croissants to take with us. Would stay here again.

Easily one of the best places we have ever stayed. Wonderful sceneries, friendly staff, excellent location. Outstanding breakfast and freshly cooked evening meal if you ask for it beforehand. Very spacious rooms and it is certainly home from home. It is an excellent base for the gateway to Cape Point, Boulder Bay and Chapman’s Peak. Car is essential for easy travel.

Owner does not allow late check in. We were charged for dinner despite cancellation ahead of time. Single entrance for all guests shered by owner. No private entrance. There are no penguins on the beach next to this residence. It is over 5 km drive from there.

5.0 / 10.0

Fantastic stay. Watched whales from the deck playing in the ocean. Only 10 minutts walk to the pingvins. Tips. Attend the sosial dinner with the other guest. Great food and great company.

Residence William French greatly exceeded our expectations! We made our booking there due to its close proximity to the Cape of Good Hope and Boulder’s Beach, excited about hiking and penguins. It turns out our experience at Residence William French rivaled our experiences at the Cape and with the penguins; it was fantastic! The residence is located in a quiet neighborhood, perched on a hillside with a stunning view of False Bay. The property is impeccably decorated, comfortable, and welcoming. Our dinner and breakfast there were beautifully and thoughtfully prepared, and delicious, on par with the best meals we’ve had in Cape Town. William is the perfect host. We were sad to leave, wishing we’d booked more nights there.

This place is heaven. William has made this a slice of paradise in every way, from the details of the amenities with luxurious finishes, to his amazing cooking, and overall being an excellent host. We left our last night in Cape Town open and while traveling were told about this property by another couple. They were oozing about how wonderful this place was. We were able to book and were not disappointed. We only stayed for one night, but we will be back for an extended trip. This place cannot be described with only words. It's just magnificent.

From the first moment at welcome to an emotional farewell after a week we felt like part of the William’s Family. We couldn’t wish more from this gorgeous place - from the breathtaking location on the hill with the spectacular view over False Bay to the uniquely decorated rooms, the infinity-pool and last but not least - the delicious breakfasts and dinners - everything made with love from scratch. Janine, William, Florence and the other members of the ”family”, you all made us really feel at home. We have travelled a lot, but never experienced such a fantastic hostess ship and a guest house offering nothing but the best. If you plan to go to Simon’s Town, you can’t miss this heavenly place or Williams gourmet dinners. We can strongly recommend this guest house

Everything about this property was beautiful and romantic. The views are stunning. The property is beautifully maintained. The staff think of every detail and THE FOOD! The included breakfast is delicious. If you have a chance to have William cook, take it! It will be fantastic. We haven’t stopped talking about this place since we left.

This is an excellent boutique hotel one can find in Simon's Town. Especially, if you're visiting Cape Point, this is the place to stay. The property is gorgeous, the rooms are spacious and their breakfast is unforgettable. Moreover, the pool on the terrace and the view are priceless. I should also add that William and Janine are great hosts, attentive to every detail and very helpful. Thank you both!

Lovely. Much better than the pictures! They know how to make people feel special! Had dinner there and was blown away. Highly recommended and hopefully will stay longer when next in SA.

Not sure where to begin with this one, it is such a great experience in so many ways, but will start with the owner William as he is so central to everything. He is passionate about every detail and you see and feel that in every aspect, the decor, the food, the staff, the way the place runs. You can look at the photos and they show just how stunning the location, the rooms, the pool etc are. We stayed in the Queen room, and although it did not have the views of the other rooms, it was a delight to stay in, the little private courtyard you have at the back gets the afternoon sun and is sheltered so is lovely to sit outside with tea. The breakfasts are fantastic and an experience in themselves, home made granola and jams being just two of the highlights. William (or rather the stunningly pretty Primrose under Williams guidance) cooked for us on my wife's birthday, and it was just divine. Their G&T's are to die for too, beautifully made with a sprig of thyme and a long twist of orange peel. Janine the manager was just brilliant in helping me with mislaid keys and a driving license, managing to re-unite me with both before the end of our stay. So many reasons to stay here, the penguins a short walk down the hill (no need to pay to go along the boardwalks), the stunning drive out to Cape Point, the amazing food and great hospitality, and the enigmatic, charming and wonderful character that is William.

An absolutely amazing, world-class guest house! Imagine a villa set on a hillside, with sweeping unobstructed views of False Bay near Cape Town with impeccable service and incredible food.....and you have only hit the tip of the iceberg of this property. William is the consummate host, (as well as his incredible staff!) where you are instantly at ease and cared-for in provincial, European style. I will most definitely write more in a Trip Advisor post so that more people will be exposed to this ‘expectation exceeding’ experience. Do not pass this by, and if you stay here - do not bother to look for outside restaurants, William is a world-class chef with an outstanding selection of local wines. Truly Excellent!!

Beautiful decor, rooms were spacious and very clean with double sinks in the bathroom and lovely shower products. Views from the infinity pool were incredible. Balcony immediately outside the bedroom (from which you can see the sunrise whilst lying in bed) with plenty of seating. Delicious breakfast and all home made products: granola, croissants, meats & cheese. Hosts were so friendly and accommodating making you feel at home and comfortable and shared tips on the area. Less than 5 min drive to Boulders Beach or a 20 min walk along the boardwalk to see the penguins on the beach. Would definitely come back here and highly recommend.
