Property info

I’m living on the same property as the guesthouse and dive centre. I’m available most of the time for my guests’ needs. This is the guesthouse of the rising sun. You can lie on your bed while watching the sun rising over False Bay. The Ollava Snorkelling and Scuba Centre is on the same premises and offers courses and trips. The guesthouse is in Glencairn, a suburb of Simon’s Town and right accross the ocean and a very busy Main Road. It does quiet down during the night. There are resaurants and a shopping mall within walking distance from the guesthouse. Simon’s Town is the closest town to the penguins at Boulders beach and Cape Point. Glencairn beach is within walking distance with a tidal pool and lovely sand beach. There are often fishermen catching fish from the rocks in front of the guesthouse.
