Penguins View Guesthouse has well-equipped self-catering accommodation featuring free WiFi in Simon’s Town, a 5-minute walk from Boulders Beach. Free private parking is available on site.

The guest house has an outdoor pool, garden and barbecue facilities.

From the terrace and the room you have amazing views over False Bay and Boulder Beach. And you can see the penguins (I would recommend binoculars to see details) or even spot whales if you are lucky...The sunrise is also great! The bed is comfortable the kitchen has everything you need to prepare a basic meal. The apartment itself is not as spacious as other places in South Africa but is definetely big enough for two people, Boulder Beach is in walking distance, Simons Town is a great location to explore the peninsula. Heather, the owner, is a great host and I would definitely stay again there when coming back to Simons Town!

Mariner Guesthouse & Villa is built on the mountainside above the Simon´s Town harbour and offers stunning views across False Bay. The owner-run guest house is within walking distance of the centre of town and beaches.

Super courteous staff and nice property with sea view. We had some issues in the beginning but the property owner herself addressed it and the whole staff took care of it. Overall, an ultimate example of a great hospitality. Highly recommended!

We could park our car on street level without any worries. The apartment is clean, well-equipped and luxurious. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They went out of the way to accommodate our need to store our luggage for two nights between stays. They even do the dishes for us. We can definitely recommend this place and will be staying there again when we go to Simons Town.

    What a lovely guesthouse. The views. The room. The comfy bed. Gillian is a superb host - so attentive, polite and what a breakfast she cooks! I enjoyed using the light and airy communal area to catch up on work during the day - the views from the office were pretty epic that day. This place is conveniently located between Kalk Bay and Simon's Town where I ate at some superb restaurants. There's also a handy mini mall with two supermarkets, just a short walk away.

    The Grosvenor Guest House is exactly what you think of when you imagine a cosy bed and breakfast. Our room was ready for us even though we arrived early, breakfast was delicious. This is a cute, quaint, B&B with two welcoming hosts at a great location.

    Very friendly hosts. A quiet location but still within half an hour's walk to the town and even less to the Boulders Beach penguin colony.
