Andre
A beautifully and individually decorated self catering guest house situated in Simons Kloof, directly above the historical village of Simon's Town
I have been involved in the family business since about 2004. I currently still run the guest house as a self catering guest house as well as run my own tour and travel Business called Driftwood Tours and Travel. This business focuses on creating adventure tours and holidays in the Western Cape
SImon's Town is a neighbourhood rich in history. It was established in the late 1600's by the then Governor of The Cape Coloney, SImon Van Der Stel. It was established as a winter anchorage point for the Dutch East India Company. Today Simon's Town is rich in history, both from a Dutch and British stand point. It is home to the South African Naval base and within close proximity to world famous tourist sites such as Boulders Beach and Cape Point Nature Reserve.
