Papillon Guest Suite (your home away from home) is situated on the Simon'sberg Mountain and offers comfortable single or double accommodation with queen size bed and bathroom on suite, and your own private entrance...We offer an awesome view overlooking Simonstown and False Bay. There are approximately 15 steps to your home away from home Suite entrance from your personal off street parking. We are situated within 5 mins drive to the famous Boulders Beach Penguin Sanctuary, the Great White Shark, and Whale watching ( in Season). You can Kick off your shoes and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere surrounded by mountain and sea, in a comfortable, private, and safe environment or you can just relax in your own quiet, private space while enjoying your morning coffee/tea on your private patio in your private space. Our guests love it here!
I was born in India and brought up and schooled in Kenya. Gary and I have collectively travelled extensively through East and South Africa, U.K., Europe, North and South America and the Caribbean Islands. We love meeting people, sharing travel experiences including different cultures, making new friends and visiting new countries. 39 yrs ago we built a 37' yacht and completed a South Atlantic crossing to the N.E. Caribbean, via the S. Atlantic Islands and S. America over 2 year to our final destination, St Maarten......(feels like yesterday!) After spending 20 yrs in our respective businesses, making many new friends and visiting amazing places, making special memories to share, we returned to drop anchor at our home port here in Simonstown in 2013. We'd love to share our memories, and our beautiful Southern South African Peninsular with you....Our motto is "live for today" but plan for tomorrow.
We are situated in a quiet residential area with beautiful views directly above the quaint Simonstown Village and away from the " hussle and bussle" of everyday life..... A ten minute walk away to numerous diverse things to do, places to go...The beaches, mountain walks, hiking trails, kayaking, shark diving, and a diverse selection of restaurants and coffee shops offering breakfast, lunch and dinner...... A short drive will take you to the famous Cape Point Nature Reserve or to various Vineyards and the famous Table Mountain. There are beautiful scenic drives along the coast, over the mountains and along the famous Chapman's Peak Drive to Hout Bay. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe and close enough to many diverse activities.. We will be happy to share these with you on arrival.
