Great place! Amazing view! More space than we needed! Andre was fantastic at welcoming us and giving us fabulous recommendations for dining and activities. Felt fantastic spending time in Simon's town. Stay down here. See the penguins and the Cape. Sure, you can drive up to Capetown, but stay here!

Comfortable guest house with amazing views.
The Guest house is in a peaceful street way above the town, with amazing views from the balcony. The room was clean and comfortable with good beds and a delicious breakfast. We had a car, but decided to walk to the town, walking back was a steep climb, but the owner did warn us!

This a very nice guest house with a beautiful seaside view, and a breathtaking sunrise view from the balcony. I enjoyed my stay there, and would stay there again if ever I am in Simon’s Town again.

Cozy place in a small town
Very cozy place on a small town, with a shared kitchen full of appliances to do whatever you need, comfortable bed, floor temperature adjustment, very friendly host. Only downside is the internet, but if you don't need it to work, you're good! (Vodacom would only get 2g signal over there and wi-fi is slowish). Definitely worth the stay!

nice
The bedrooms both enter into a central living room kitchen which is shared if you don't rent the whole flat which makes it uncomfortable if you want privacy.

In need of an upgrade
We stayed 2 nights. As other guests have mentioned the apartment is in need of an upgrade.Old furniture, carpets worn, in need of painting and TLC. An odd setup. To access the apartment you walk through a room where the maid does the ironing.You then enter through another door into the lounge area. We were not given the key to this door which means that members of staff can just walk into the apartment.There is a further door off the lounge which is an office.We were sitting in the lounge and the owner came from the office, walked through and walked back through the lounge later on. Considering the price we paid we were disappointed.

Views to die for, but bit of a steep walk back from town, and room had a slight damp smell. Hwever the host was wonderful and very helpful. And breakfast was excellent.
