Everything well-appointed.One large bedroom had a magnificent view and its own balcony with outdoor sofa, the other smaller bedroom had little view but a magnificent bathroom with its own small balcony and view. Excellent breakfasts. A good choice of continental and cooked breakfast, with fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and cereal, toasts eggs, etc. on a veranda with a wonderful view of the Bay. The staff were very helpful, pleasant and accommodating.

Our property is uniquely decorated showcasing as many local artists at possible. Each room has a different theme and art work from a particular artist is displayed in each room according to the theme. Our rooms are large and airy and our staff make you feel right at home from the very start. Our swimming pool is a dream when the temperatures reach up to 30 degrees in summer! We are a short walk away from the village where you will find a host of different great restaurants and where you can book water adventure activities - whale watching, shark diving, snorkelling, kayaking, waterbiking, SUP boarding, pelagic trips and deep sea fishing to name a few. Love shopping? We have great antique shops, clothing shops and a very good craft shop that showcases many of our best crafters products. We are a 20 minute drive from the beautiful Cape Point reserve and a very short walk to the famous Boulders Penguin Beach. Just want to relax? Look no further. Curl up on our couch on the veranda and take in the tranquillity of our space. We let this property as self catering from the 16th December - 3rd January. Why no come and visit us soon?
We can't wait to welcome you. Sue our fabulous General Manager has been with us for 14 years and just knows how to make you feel at home. She will help with any planning of trips and knows the area so well and she is happy to share a lot of local "gems" with you. An avid hiker and sea swimmer she has local knowledge that you need to know! Jonathan will prepare you a breakfast you will think about for a long time! His welcoming smile will immediately make you feel welcome and part of the family. We love meeting new people and often have discussions on the breakfast veranda with people from all over the world. Hospitality is our passion and we will go the extra mile to ensure you have a great stay. Can't wait to welcome you.
Conveniently within walking distance to the central of Simon's Town where guests can visit the Simon’s Town naval base and museum, Church of St Francis, Romans Rock Lighthouse and the renowned Boulder’s Beach with its unique Cape Penguin Colony. We have a working Naval Harbour in Simon's Town so there is always something going on and something to watch in the bay. One can also enjoy a meal or light lunch at some of the country's finest restaurants or cafes and a leisurely stroll through town experiencing the wide array of shops and vendors. Other nearby attractions include the famous and spectacular Cape Point, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or take a scenic drive along the Cape Peninsula. Exciting water activities such as local boat trips and kayaking are also available for the outdoor enthusiast.
