Penguins View Guesthouse has well-equipped self-catering accommodation featuring free WiFi in Simon’s Town, a 5-minute walk from Boulders Beach. Free private parking is available on site.

The guest house has an outdoor pool, garden and barbecue facilities. Nothing to dislike, great position to see the penguins which was why we were in Simon's Town, but the Baboons wander the town on an evening great fun. Beautiful apartment with the most amazing view across the bay, a way out of town so we had to drive in but found a shopping area a short way out of town, stocked up and spent most evenings on the balcony just admiring the views. We were minutes from the boardwalk and there are more penguins there than the viewing area with the droves of tourists. An easy drive down to the cape of good hope where you can see Ostriches.

Located in Muizenberg and only 2.5 km from Muizenberg Beach, Pro Moni's Guesthouse provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property features garden and quiet street views, and is 17 km from Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. Featuring a private entrance, the guest house allows guests to maintain their privacy. The location is very neat, and protective. I would love to be there again if I visit Cape Town. Woowww the owner the cleaners I mean everything is on point.

What is not to like about this property - food, views, company, service! We made friends during our stay, we felt like family there - definitely coming back. Have more than one dinner here - the food is that good please do trust me. Firstly our room was beautiful, very big with all the amenities you could ask for. The views of the ocean my goodness they are within plain site every day. Also good sunrise views if you can wake up for it - stunning sunrise. Now let’s talk about the food, we stayed 3 nights and everyday our room got little baked treats. Their breakfast is like no other - from the fruit salad, to the home made granola and everything else. Then the dinners - Michelin star dinners every single night oh my what an experience.

A Tuscan Villa Guest House, an exquisite Italian-style villa featuring a stunning spiral staircase and beautiful arches, is just 600 meters from Fish Hoek Beach. The villa boasts six spacious rooms, each with a private bathroom, small fridge, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi. Breakfast was excellent and very nicely presented. The rooms were extremely clean and very well appointed. The beds were super comfortable. Anita is welcoming, helpful, and cheerful. It was a really lovely place to stay. We were there just before the really hot weather but my daughter still found lying in the sun by the pool a treat, particularly coming from Canada in November.
