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.

From the terrace and the room you have amazing views over False Bay and Boulder Beach. And you can see the penguins (I would recommend binoculars to see details) or even spot whales if you are lucky...The sunrise is also great! The bed is comfortable the kitchen has everything you need to prepare a basic meal. The apartment itself is not as spacious as other places in South Africa but is definetely big enough for two people, Boulder Beach is in walking distance, Simons Town is a great location to explore the peninsula. Heather, the owner, is a great host and I would definitely stay again there when coming back to Simons Town!

We had the pleasure of spending one night at Residence William French in March. From the moment we arrived Primrose made us feel at home and did everything in her power to make our stay special. Dinner was a very romantic affair and the food was excellent. The Blue Room was stunning, every piece of furniture bespoke, large spacious bed with luxurious linen and the most magnificent views!

We could park our car on street level without any worries. The apartment is clean, well-equipped and luxurious. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They went out of the way to accommodate our need to store our luggage for two nights between stays. They even do the dishes for us. We can definitely recommend this place and will be staying there again when we go to Simons Town.
