Great location, it's next to Boulder beach.. They also have good sized family room which suits me very well. Food is great too although it's not included in the room rate which is served from a restaurant just in front of the reception.
Nestled between spectacular mountain scenery and False Bay on the Indian Ocean coast, this historic property welcomes guests to marvel at unforgettable panoramic views.

The place is very cosy with an exceptional view. The penguins are right in front of the property. Also the dogs are very friendly and welcoming, really enjoy playing with them. Hoping that who stay at this property will play with them.
The 4-star, family-run Simonstown Guest House overlooks False Bay and offers scenic water views from its modern rooms. Free parking and Wi-Fi throughout the property are available.

So many little extras. The view was fantastic, small fridge in the room with lounge facilities with dishware and cutlery. Very easy to bring one's own food into the guesthouse. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we needed to find a medical clinic and pharmacy.
Just a 4-minute walk from Boulders Beach and 700 yards from Windmill Beach, Boulders Beach House features accommodations in Simonʼs Town, with barbecue facilities.

Gracious hosts. Great view. Close to all the sights of the peninsula - penguins, point and capes. Nearby Simon's Town is laid back vibe with nice restaurants. More action in 10 minutes drive to Kalk Bay, buzzing at late afternoon/evenings.

Beautiful town but unfortunately we were only there for one night. If you want to see the Penguins then this is the spot. Lovely harbour and plenty of restaurants as well. Lovely beach and safe area

We love Simonstown. It is so quaint and picturesque. We love the historical buildings and the friendliness of the people. It is a wonderful tourist destination as Cape Point is nearby as well as Boulders Beach with the famous penquins. Stunning views over the bay with the pretty yachts to view.

Simon's Town is the perfect place to go to, to not be in the city, to relax and to unwind.
Boulder Beach was an exciting experience, and we truly enjoyed it.
We ate at Fran's Place on the Waterfront, and had the most delicious Seafood Platter.
The food at Willets Hotel is just as amazing!
In Sea Point, Cape Town itself, it feels unsafe to sit on the Beach for too long, but in Simon's Town we stayed on Long Beach until sunset.
It was a calming few days. Wished we could have stayed longer.

A little noisy late evening and early morning due to comings and goings with deliveries etc.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to entertain younger kids without the big commercial rush of the bigger more popular areas in Cape Town, I recommend Simons Town. So much to do with younger kids who enjoy the outdoors without the rush of a lot of people around you.
I read the booking user ratings, and said to myself, it's a bit much to be truth =).. But all of it was so true.. we enjoyed the staing in this property very much! <3 Hosts were very kind to us and there was not a single thing that i could say it went wrong in there.. thank you once more for everything.. Much recomended.. nice location.. quiet neighbrhood.. we stayed in more houses on our roadtrip through south Africa, all of them was great.. mybe we are yust lucky, but this was our favourite and best spot & accomodation..
Liesal and Peter are absolutely wonderful hosts . The room and the property is absolutely stunning ,the views from the balcony are breathtaking and the staff is wonderful and warm .
The overall stay was one of the best for me , because Liesal had a thorough insights and recommendations about access , transport , food options , what to explore etc .
I had a very comfortable stay and really felt like home despite being a first time traveller to Cape town . Thanks a lot you guys :)
We highly recommend Protea Point if you are looking for an amazing place to stay in Simon’s Town! Our friendly and welcoming host went above and beyond to help us and make our stay memorable. We very much appreciate your wonderful hospitality!
The rooms are lovely and relaxing with stunning views of the sea and mountains!
We loved everything about our stay and thank you for a perfect end to our holiday in South Africa! We will definitely be back! :)
The location was great - we really liked staying just outside of Simon's Town. It was a nice and more relaxing break than staying in Cape Town. The unit is very cute and we felt at home. We were able to visit the penguins just a couple of miles away several times and also an easy drive to Cape of Good Hope. The view is beautiful and the breakfast was good, the hosts were welcoming.
we had the most amazing stay at the cottons cottage. Best accomadation we stayed in in south africa. The cottage was perfect for us (Family of 4 adults) and we just loved everything, the Location, the View, the interior design, the comfy beds and the equipment of the cottage. It had everything .Big thank you also to Sheena, who was an amazing host and always available.
EVERYTHING! The hosts, Jenny’s breakfasts, the location, the attractions (pingouins, baboons, Cape of Good Hope reserve) were more than we were expecting! The view was great. it was a very safe area! Jenny, Andrew and Terry were so helpful. We cannot thank them enough! PS: Jenny makes the best scrambled eggs! We give you 5 stars!!! Thank You!
A perfect location out of the hustle bustle of the Cape Town suburbs. A friendly welcome and throughout our stay from the staff. The fruit/muesli yogurt and cooked breakfast was delicious.
We were lucky to have great weather, so watched a lovely sunrise every morning either from the balcony or the nearby rocks along the coast.
It feels like you’re stepping back in time for a day or two. The older design and interior is so charming. Location itself is great, and it’s close to various restaurants and coffee shops.
Shami and the other staff members were so helpful and friendly - you guys are a great addition to the hotel!
The hotel was beautiful and comfortable. The hostess Emmy was fantastic and welcoming and just a beautiful person on the whole. The barman and waitress and cleaning staff were professional and polite and just amazing. We can't wait to visit again.
The staff was very friendly and the room was very cozy.
The hotel is right next to boulders beach (2min walk) and you can easily get by car to cape point. The hotel has an own café where you can eat breakfast and lunch for a fair price.
everything just perfect: Amazing hotel, the views from the rooms as well as infinity pool are just stunning, Garth is one of the best hosts, very delicious freshly made breakfast,… - all in all, we will definitely be staying again!
The room was perfect, clean with an amazing view to the sea and even to the penguins on the beach. The staff was welcoming and very generous and the location is the best. Totally recomended when visiting Simon's Bay.
Beautiful view. Nice place to stay..the village Simons Town is nice aswell...Cape Town very close and possible to drive home during nighttime. Safe place..and Heather is a great host. She is very kind and helpful.
Right in the centre of Simons Town. Convenient to everything. Lovely clean hotel with wonderful staff especially EMI who was the perfect host. Breakfast excellent.
I loved seeing the mountain right behind the hotel; it was such a lovely natural vibe. Plus, the elevation gave a great vantage point of the beach for breakfast.
I spent 4 days at the property and it is absolutely lovely!! 10 of 10!! Zu is an amazing host and I can wait to be back there, definitely the best choice!!!!
