Very nice property in a beautiful location. Well kept with all the amenities you would expect and more. The couple that runs the property are extremely friendly and helpful, providing various updates and tips throughout my stay. The location itself was fantastic, with an amazing view of boulders beach. The unit is well equipped for loadshedding. The property is secure and the area never made me feel unsafe. Thank you so much!

Great location!! Just off a golf course and a 5 minute walk from Boulders Beach. Super cute rooms with comfortable beds and lots of amenities. Heather is so responsive and went above and beyond to meet our needs. If you go to Simon Town, this is a beautiful place to stay. Make sure you get Shepard as your driver if you need one. He was amazing!!!!

Perfect place to stay to see penguins at Boulders National Park. And easy walking distance to Simon’s Town, a lovely village with great shops and pubs. The owner recommended a wonderful tour guide, Shepherd. He picked us up at the airport and took us on wonderful drives in the countryside. Kind and knowledgeable. In a condensed review, Penguin’s View is a 10 star facility in a 5 star world. Book it! You won’t be sorry!
