Broadlands Private Villa - Simon's Town

Broadlands Villa is a private, two-bedroom luxury retreat in Simon's Town — one of South Africa's most spectacular coastal villages — perched directly above False Bay with sweeping ocean views from every room.

Designed for two couples or a family, the villa offers complete privacy, a plunge pool, built-in gas braai, and two gas fireplaces that make this a genuinely great four-season property. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with uninterrupted sea views. The second bedroom is en-suite and configurable as twin beds.

The fully equipped kitchen, optional housekeeping, and fast WiFi (92 Mbps) mean you can arrive and immediately feel at home — whether you're here for a long weekend or a full week.

The location is the real headline. Boulders Beach — home to thousands of free-roaming African penguins — is a 10-minute walk away. Between June and November, Southern Right Whales come into False Bay to breed and calve, regularly spotted from the villa terrace. Cape Point Nature Reserve is 20 minutes by car. Cape Town city centre is 40 minutes, or take the scenic coastal train that runs along the edge of False Bay.

Simon's Town is a working naval village with a 300-year history, outstanding seafood restaurants, and a harbour that sees both naval frigates and whale-watching boats. It is unlike any other suburb on the Peninsula — quieter, more characterful, and far more rewarding for guests who take the time to explore it.
