Penguins View Guesthouse

The view, comfort and cleanliness

The stairs

Great location within walking distance to Boulder’s Beach penguins. Host was very responsive and helpful with Kate checkout needed.

Nothing

L'appartamento è veramente molto bello e dal balcone la vista è mozzafiato. Sulla sinistra si vede la spiaggia dei pinguini e davanti una spiaggetta molto bella dove alla sera risalgono dal mare i pinguini. Sulla desta un campo da golf.

Amazing views and perfect location

景观非常美

wifi密码可以单独用一块小牌子，放在桌子上进行更明显的提示。房间没有提供饮用水。

Everything wag perfect

There can be more shelfs in the bathroom and also the dishes shelf in the kitchen is not very strong, but for the rest, all perfect. Thanks Heather.

Magnifique! I loved it

Fully equipped apartment which was clean and spacious. The hosts went above and beyond for us as our case went missing; they provided us with chargers and UK adapters and offered phone services to help us communicate with the airport. The location over looking boulders beach was lovely.

The walls are paper thin and you could hear everything. The outer door slamming every time someone came in or out of the building was horrible. Unsure if there’s much that can be done about this, so pack ear plugs!

Everything is very comfortable, nice view, pingvin's beach is near here, good parking

Rain Type Shower Head only, no usual shower with hose

Location and view are superior. Ocean view give you full happiness. Even during a rainy day. Only the terras is then Not usable…) Parking place next to entrance. Close to Cape west. 30 minutes. Walking in 3 minutes to the pinguïns. Good information book about restaurants and malls.

Bed is too short. 1.80m so your feed hanging over board. Unsealed bottle of water in the room as welcoming. Steep chairs outside to the room.

Понравилось все! Совершенно невероятный вид из номера. Если рассматриваете этот гестхаус, выбирайте именно номер для молодоженов, не пожалеете. Вид на Boulders beach, нереальной красоты закаты. В номере есть все для отличного отдыха, на террасе стол и стулья, также есть гриль (но мы не использовали его). Весь набор кухонной техники, кофе-машина, пляжные полотенца. Это было наше свадебное путешествие, плюс ещё и день рождения жены, по случаю чего нам подарили бутылку хорошего игристого вина. Хозяева очень внимательные и заботливые люди. По обе стороны от платного пляжа Boulders beach есть абсолютно бесплатные - Windmill beach (южнее) и Water's edge beach (севернее), на котором также можно встретить пингвинов. Все пляжи в шаговой доступности.

Place was fabulous. Bed was very comfy, plenty of space and the view was stunning. Watched the penguins go off to hunt in pods in the morning.

It got exceptionally hot but fortunately, we didnt experience much of that as the air-conditioning was amazing.

La vue, la proximité de la plage et des pinguoins, la propreté de l'appartement.. tout

The property is a few feet from Boulder Beach. You can literally see the penguins from the balcony. It’s a very spacious, clean and nice property.

The 180* view from the honeymoon suite was amazing and the proximity to penguins! The room had everything we needed for our stay.

The ONLY thing I can complain about is the key situation. You need a key to open and lock the doors from both sides which seems like a fire hazard to me. It also meant carrying around a key ring with 4 separate keys on it while out and about. But really not a big issue overall considering the view and location.

Die Aussicht und hilfsbereite Art der Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war tiptop sauber und die Kùche perfekt ausgestattet. Die ruhige Lage mit Meerblick und Vogelgezwitscher fùhlte sich wie ein kleines Paradies an.

Es war einfach umwerfend hier! Das Zimmer (Lighthouse) war ein Traum, hell, bodentiefe Fenster nach zwei Seiten, großzügig, super schön eingerichtet (skandinavisch und Strand Look, alles in hellen Tönen mit blauen Akzenten). Und mit toller Aussicht aufs Meer und zur Pinguin Kolonie. Das Bett absolut bequem - wir hatten um zwei separate Bettdecken gebeten und dieser Wunsch wurde problemlos erfüllt). Steckdosen in Hülle und Fülle, auch direkt an den Betten. Die kleine Küchenzeile ist perfekt ausgestattet, mit Mikrowelle, Kochfeld, Geschirr usw. Die Lage ist super - nur ca. 50m bis zum Boulders Beach, in 3 Minuten ist man zu Fuß am Boulders Hotel, wo man im Café prima frühstücken kann, mit Meerblick. Es gibt auch einen sehr schönen Weg am Strand entlang, sowohl Richtung Stadt und Pinguin Kolonie als auch in die andere Richtung. John ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber - wir bekamen am Tag der Anreise morgens alle Infos zur Anreise, wurden persönlich empfangen und zu unserem Zimmer gebracht. Er steht jederzeit zur Verfügung, wenn man ihn braucht. Parken kann man kostenlos auf dem Grundstück - in Simons Town ist es sehr sicher.

Wir wären gerne länger geblieben...

Cute, comfortable apartment. Walk to the beach and tne penguin reserve. I had a lovely stay.

Property in a stunning position overlooking the beach, sea, and distant mountains

Nice apartment with a brilliant view of False Bay from its balcony. The owners could not have been more helpful - brilliant communication and clear information regarding local restaurants etc. There is a brilliant restaurant just a short walk down the hill, near the shoreline, which served great breakfasts and lunch and dinner, but closes at 8.00pm (take your own wine, as it's not yet licensed - they provide the ice etc.). We left the restaurant in the evening, to find several penguins in the car park and on nearby rocks - made our stay special!

Everything was fine - no problems whatsoever 👍

Die Honeymoon-Suite hat einen grandiosen Blick auf´s Meer, eine schöne Sonnenterrasse und eine gut ausgestattete Küche. Schlüsselübergabe der Besitzerin war unkompliziert und freundlich. Lage fußläufig zum Boulders Beach und 3 Auto- Minuten zur Innenstadt von Simons Town.

Alles gut

Beautiful room, very clean with wonderful views across the bay. Heather was a very friendly, welcoming host!

Location, spaces and have everything you want.

Excellent location, and the view is the best part. Absolutely amazing views

Die Honeymoon-Suite ist wirklich der Hammer: ein großes, helles Zimmer mit einem wunderbaren Balkon. Das Zimmer ist fantastisch eingerichtet und ausgestattet ist. Die Aussicht ist beispiellos – besonders beeindruckend ist, dass man die Pinguine direkt vom Zimmer aus beobachten kann. Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Die Infomappe mit Empfehlungen zu Sehenswürdigkeiten war sehr praktisch. Der Check-in hat problemlos über die Schlüsselbox funktioniert, was uns viel Flexibilität gab. Vor dem Haus stehen kostenlose Parkplätze zur Verfügung. Der Boulders Beach ist fußläufig erreichbar über einen tollen Weg am Strand. Insgesamt eine erstklassige Unterkunft mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und perfekter Lage für Strand- und Pinguin-Erlebnisse.

La posizione e la vista è incredibile

Tolle Lage, sauber und sehr gute Ausstattung. Parkplatz vor dem Haus.

Der Empfang durch den Gastgeber war leider sehr kurz angebunden.

Tolle Lage

Für den Preis mehr Komfort erwartet, v.a. Hinsichtlich Grösse und Alter der Suite im Vergleich zu anderen Suiten der Preiskategorie, zB. Undichte, klapperige Fenster (sollen jedoch jetzt erneuert werden)

The location. The cleanliness. The facilities. The rapid response when we had a very slight problem. The information provided. The comfort.

Nothing

Pretty close to Boulders beach. Absolutely loved the stay here. Could see the penguins from the room. The beds were comfortable They also have uber services to the property The host Heather kept in touch throughout our stay making sure we are comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to spend few nights at Simon’s town

There was nothing as such!

Superlage und tolle Aussicht auf die False-Bay und zu den Pinguinen

Nur etwas muss repariert werden. Der Wasserhahn im Badezimmer funktionniert nicht

Der Ausblick war wunderbar. Man hat im Zimmer alles was man braucht.

Es dürfte etwas näher beim Hafen sein. Man muss ständig das Auto nehmen.

Our apartment had an incredible view over the coast and the penguin beach, and at night, the sight turned into a sea of lights across the coast. It was amazing 🤩

Tolle Lage mit herrlichem Blick, sehr schöne kleine Anlage, ruhig und gut gelegen zum schönen Simons town und zum Cape sowie zu den Pinguinen; Bett sehr gemütlich, tolle Dusche

An einem Abend wurde es stark windig, da gab es etwas Durchzug

The apartment was absolute lovely ,decorated with love and very comfortable , it had everything we needed and the hosts were always available should we need anything . We got lots of lovely tips and our hosts were lovely . Thank you so much we are looking forward to staying there next time .

There is nothing to complain about.

Très proche de la plage avec les pingouins, terrasse très agréable pour profiter d’une superbe vue, literie très confortable comme tout l’appartement. Accueil chaleureux.

De ligging en het uitzicht

Check-in und Check-out unkompliziert, Kontakt mit den Vermietern schnell und kompetent. Ausstattung sehr gut, dicke Handtücher, Bett sehr bequem, 2 Kissen zur Auswahl. Kaffee, Tee und Milch waren kostenlos vorhanden. MEGA Ausblick. Parkplatz vor der Tür, Boulders Beach und Frühstücksrestaurant in maximal 5 Gehminuten. Eine Mappe mit sinnvollen Tipps, Informationen und Restaurantempfehlungen liegt im Studio bereit.

Exceptional view. Right next to Bolders beach and the colony of penguins. Enormous bed and shower. Great kitchen and dining facilities inside and out.

Die Aussicht aufs Meer und die Pinguin-Bucht ist wirklich ein Traum.

Stay met all our requirements, very friendly hosts and quiet surroundings but near to beach and town

nothing

Stunning views across false bay. Whale and penguin watching from the balcony. Comfy bed and spacious well presented apartment.

Nothing to fault

Месторасположение-идеально! Панорамный вид! Прекрасная хозяйка Хизер, спасибо огромное ей за внимательное отношение к постояльцам❤️когда приплыли утром киты, она сразу написала нам. Мы завтракали с прекрасным видом на пингвинов и китов! На обратном пути в Кейптаун- планируем снова остановиться здесь! Просыпаться и наблюдать этот прекрасный вид - это восхитительно!!!

Lovely stay in a lovely place, without doubt one of the best views we have enjoyed in accommodation anywhere. Hosts are very hands off and that was fine as we didn't need anything. There is no lift to the property which might be an issue for an older or weaker peron but I am sure they would have helped and there is an asistant always around if you needed

Amazing views of the ocean. The bed was amazingly comfortable and I could hear the ocean waves from my room. The room was clean and property felt safe. I stayed here specifically to be close to Boulder’s beach and see the penguins- they were only a few minutes was down a gentle hill. We took a tour of Cape of Good Hope with Anne Marie whom was recommended by our host. We also enjoyed doing a kelp forest snorkel just a few minutes away as well.

I didn’t mind, but others should be aware my lovely room was up a good flight of stairs.

Fantastic sea views and we were thrilled to be able to see the penguins on the beach with our binoculars, right from our balcony. The bed was extra large and very comfortable. A stones throw from the seafront and Boulders.

Izjemen rszgled in pogled na plažo s pingvini.

Slabe in stare brisače.

I recently stayed at Penguins View Guesthouse and couldn't have been more pleased. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking—perfect for morning coffee or a sunset wind-down. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and recharge. One of the best parts? It's just a short walk to the famous penguin beach! Waking up and strolling over to watch the penguins in their natural habitat was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend this guesthouse for anyone visiting the area!

Exceptional :-) Heather allowed us to drop our luggage off early allowing us another full day in this spectacular location. Being 'local' to the penguins, and being able to do early morning and evening walks along the boardwalk was a magical experience. The honeymoon suite was everything we hoped - well equipped, spacious, comfortable, but the balcony with penguin views and full length windows allowing uninterrupted side to side views topped our stay off. Heather also recommended a local guide (Anna-Marie) who we pre-booked and then spent an incredible day with on a custom guided tour around the cape and beyond. A truly magical stay. Thanks to Heather & Anna-Marie.

The comfort & cleanliness of our little apartment & the stunning view

Nothing. Just be careful as you go down the outside stairs

Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Room had everything that was needed.

A very nice room adjacent to the beach. Great views and hosts Heather and John are lovely and are happy to offer information about the local areas.

Our stay at Penguin Guest House was exceptional. The room was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to see the penguins, and the beach was visible right from our window. The highlight of our stay was waking up to the sunrise on the balcony. Highly recommend this place.

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.

This is a beatiful place and the views are wonderful. The little kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much, and who knows, maybe we will stay here again.

The room was clean, neat and well maintained. The view of false bay and the boulders area is fantastic. The apartment has a kitchen area, has a braai on the patio. We would have loved to stay longer. Super place and will for sure stay there again in the future.

Excellent location to view and visit the Pinguins as well as closeby Simon’s Town . Great hideaway and the rooms are perfectly equipped and maintained . Plus the balcony with Ocean view is among the best . Very quiet location to relax and enjoy the scenery at Boulder.

Just a short walk from Boulders Beach this beautifully appointed guest house, with its own parking, was an absolute haven. With magnificent views of the coast, and of course the penguins it was the perfect place to relax. Towels were provided for the beach/pool which was helpful. Communication was great including help finding great people to organise snorkelling trips. The room had all you needed to cook meals and there was a Braii (BBQ) on the deck too, although we used their recommended local driver Shepherd, who was wonderful, to take us the very short drive into Simon’s Town for the harbour side restaurants in the evenings.

The view was exceptional and the room has everything you need.

The bathroom door is a bit frustrating because it can’t open completely and the shower floor was very slippery.

This guesthouse is in the perfect location for penguin watching. It's a lovely place where you can enjoy a view of the ocean right from your room.

The property was bright and furnished to a high standard. The bed was extremely comfy. Towels soft and fluffy. Good standard of cleanliness and everything well maintained. Heather had left water, milk, tea and coffee as well as delicious flapjacks! Location handy to boulders beach and Simonstown. Ubers and local taxis efficient. Plenty of info on local restaurants and places of interest etc

Unfortunately it was extremely windy while we were there and due to the location/ glass etc it was hard to sleep with the noise. Obviously this is not something that the owner has any control over!

Warm welcome, lovely hostess and staff, safe parking and easy access. Room was comfy and kitted for 'subsistence catering' rather than full self-cater. Super clean and well kept.

Dinky fridge was a challenge - a 2nd drinks fridge or bigger single fridge would be great. The sea view from our unit was disappointing relative to the views from the next storey!

We loved everything. The apartment was exceptionally clean, beautiful and well equipped. The ocean view is breathtaking and you can see the Boulders Beach and the penguins. It felt like magical realism... Simon's Town was the best choice - you have many nice restaurants and cafés, small shops and Cape Town is a half an hour drive. We can not wait to return to Penguins View Guesthouse!

Beautiful views in an amazing location
