Penguinden - load-shedding free

Tutto, un posto straordinario con una vista incredibile. Host accoglienti e disponibili. È un luogo che consiglio a tutti per finire in bellezza il proprio viaggio in sudafrica

Tutto perfetto

The weekend stay was a perfect escape from the City. Clean, comfortable and met all expectations. Would definitely recommend this gem.

That we had to leave……..

Sehr saubere und ordentliche Unterkunft. Der Gastgeber ist ausgesprochen freundlich und die Lage ist hervorragend. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön – ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Excellent location, beautiful view and comfortable place. John was extremely helpful and friendly. We will be back!

Nothing

It has the most spectacular view of the ocean. You can watch the sunrise with the birds chirping. Everything in the house was comfortable, useful and clean. Nothing was broken or dirty. Jacuzzi and BBQ combination was excellent. We highly recommend this place. Host was very friendly and helpful.

Everything was good.

We had a wonderful stay at Penguinden . Everything was as advertised. The accommodation was comfortable, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. One of the highlights was the large veranda, which offers a stunning view of False Bay. It was the perfect place to sit back, enjoy the view We would recommend Penguinden to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay in the area

Everything about the pace is beautiful from view to the inside and the atmosphere

Rainy weather, could've used a stronger heater

Bardzo wygodne duże mieszkanie z 2 sypialniami i wielkim pokojem. Widok z okna wspaniały. Przemiły Pan wita gości. Kuchnia w pełni wyposażona , jest nawet pralka. Duży , wygodny prysznic.

Przydałaby się ścierka do naczyń …

Vue exceptionnelle, très bon accueil, emplacement parfait pour visiter le cap de bonne espérance et ses alentours

Lovely hosts, beautiful views. Perfect place to stay after a long flight and rest before seeing the penguins.

Had hoped to go in the hot tub but it was a super windy time of year to visit so it was too shaded and cold where the hot tub was located for us.

Beautiful view, comfortable bed.

None

Stunning view Amazing location I had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend this place. The space was comfortable, clean, and well taken care of, and everything about the experience made it feel like a home away from home. The host was friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I would happily stay here again!

Even though the main door was locked, staff came in through a back door with our knowledge. It just felt a bit invasive and caught us off guard, which took away from the overall experience a little.

Amazing views

Nothing everything was perfect

Everything. It was clean and airy with a lovely view of False Bay. The beds were comfortable and the house was well equipped. The host was friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a great stay.

Nothing

The view was beautiful, this delivered.

The WiFi was non-existent, the hot tub was dirty when we got there, the braai/BBQ was broken. My partner hates cold water, so it sucked having to wake up and take a cold shower the day of her birthday. Access to the hot tub closed at 10PM. It seemed as though we needed to be deadly silent by 10pm which was not nice. This stay made us feel like imposters instead of guests. Albeit 2 days. We got there a few minutes before check in, my son, partner and I were excited, we read the note on the door, went inside, and looked around. We drove for a bit to get there so when we arrived we asked if we could get settled Zandile ( I hope I got her name correct ) was sweet let us know that she cleaned up already and the apartment is ready ( it was ) and she called Mr John when John got there he checked his watch it was around 13:20 he said his wife ( Deborah) said no we cannot get settled, I was willing to just sit in our car. When we met both John and Deborah, Deborah vibe seemed off, like we were a nuisance not guests. They did better the 2nd day after the warm water was fixed and the hot tub cleaned. But that 1st impression ever lasting and I would not recommend a stay here if you're a South African. The picture of the hot tub is not the hot tub you get. Seems misleading, and man oh man was it difficult to get any sort of WiFi/signal in the apartment strong WiFi connection is also very misleading.

Very nice owner. Great place to spend a few day without city noise.

Le calme. La vue exceptionnelle. Les grands espaces de la maison.

The apartment had great view over the sea, it is located close to Boulders beach and John, the owner, is a great guy.

Only tiny disadvanatage was little weak Wifi in some places.

Everything was lovely. Excellent view,,

The one bathroom is a problem when there is more than two people.

Sehr schöne große, helle Wohnung. Gigantischer Ausblick. Persönliches Highlight der Whirlpool!

The views and location! Stunning view cant be denied. John was very sweet.

Place needs some tlc not like the pictures, windows cracked and the wind howls in so it sounds like youre sleeping in a tent!! The main room has a tiny double bed could be a nice comfy queen bed or king with such a view. The braai is far away not close to the unit which is a bummer with that lovely verandah. The jacuzzi was nice also far away but needs a good clean as has brown silt sediment all around the inside of the rim!!

It was my sister-in-law and 2 kids I booked the unit for. Incredible views. Centrally located to town. Comfortable bed and bathrooms.

On first arriving the chemical cleaning smell was extreme, but John was quick to rectify the issue. For the quality of the unit and comparable to where my husband and I are staying in Simons town the cost per night is very high. Potentially the reasoning being school holidays but still very expensive.

Everything

Perfect beach and Mountain View. Very quiet place.

One wash basin for dishes, rusted cutlery, fridge could use an upgrade. They should mention that their main bed is a double.

Best view of false bay. John was extremely helpful. The bedding was changed regularly. Thank you for an extremely relaxing holiday

The views were beautiful but it was not in walking distance of Boulders as claimed and airconditioning in all rooms would have been better in this heat. There was only an air purifier but nothing to keep cool.

环境很好，住宿很干净，没有踩雷，乌萨奇们可以冲！

Location and views and superb

The living room was shared which we didn’t know untill we checked else we would not have booked it, though the owner didn’t disturb us on any night but the feeling of knowing someone’s there made it slightly uncomfortable, the other thing is the cleaning didn’t take place everyday and one of the bathrooms was clogged so that wasn’t pleasant, oh also some of the lighting needs to be made uniform, some places white some warm looks shabby

Great place in Simon's town with nice views. The place was big enough for us. Everything worked in the apartment.

It was not very clean, the owner needs a better cleaning lady. Also the windows could be cleaned since the views are amazing.

Wahnsinns-Aussicht, sehr stilvoll eingerichtete Zimmer

Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, großes Appartment mit Blick auf‘s Meer, sauber

Sehr weiche Betten, Lage etwas weit abseits von der Innenstadt

Posizione , panorama struttura bellissima

Mooi groot apoartment. Leuke gastheer

Matrassen zijn aan vernieuwing toe

The views were magnificent. All appliances in the shared kitchen and lounge were of a high standard. Very spacious and airy apartment.

Room was not serviced. The sheets on the bed in the Royal Suite had small blood stains…….I decided to put a towel over the stains to sleep. I was hoping that the sheets would be changed on our 2nd day but there was no room service so we slept on dirty sheets both nights! Absolutely unacceptable!!!!!! The water in the shower was just lukewarm at best🫤

Location was great, really quiet and super safe, private parking outside the house. Apartment was huge and plenty of space for the 3 of us, huge terrace, amazing sea views from every window the apartment has everything you need for your stay, washing machine is a bonus( bring some washing tablets) Short drive to nice restaurants and coffees, also penguin beach, cape of hope where you can see lots of wild animals while driving. Overall great stay, good value for money

Cleaning could be a bit better, also apartment needs a bit of love, some of the window glasses were cracked( i guess for the strong wind) so we had to be careful with our little one. And the bathroom has a bit of funny smell sometimes. But nothing that bother us to much, again we had a good stay and we still recommend the place☺️

Lovely and spacious with a great view and the accommodation was fully equipped with everything you need.

Spacious clean house

Lots of stairs, even though there is a downstairs area with everything you will need

位置很不错，阳台就能看见海景。还能自己做饭吃。

很不错，对于我来说几乎没有改进的地方了。

Everything was perfect

There was nothing to dislike

Fantastic view comfortable room Fully equipped kitchen

Love everything about the place only missed out on a barbecue or braai on our stay. As it was raining we could.not braai down stairs in the then weather.

There were no braai facilities close by it is all down stairs would be great if they could put in a braai. There is a patio without a roof where we could have done our braai. Unfortunately we were not allowed to bring the bushbaby braai stand up to our apartment. Jacuzzi is also out of order. However we understood its being fixed.

Apartamento autónomo inserido numa moradia. Check-in fácil e presencial. Apartamento tem alguns itens que permitem self-catering mas sem ter nenhum elemento diferenciador. Tem terraço com vista optima sob o Mar. Fica a a cerca de 1 hora de distância do aeroporto de CapeTown e a cerca de 10 min de Simons Town.

Precisa de alguma manutenção e renovação. Tinha Jacuzzi mas estava inoperacional.

The views are exceptional from Sunset to sunrise. The apartment has everything you need for a stop over. John the host is knowledgeable and interacted with the kids and us with recommendations for dinner etc. Easy to find and easy process to get keys.

Smell of cigarette smoke in the apartment

I felt right at home staying at this property. I am a 28 year old female and traveled by myself. I felt very safe staying here and the surrounding area was lovely! The owner was lovely and made me feel very welcome. There were recommendations, from the owner, for restaurants around the area which were very helpful. The view from my room was also breathtaking. I would never get sick of waking up to that everyday. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent. Very friendly host, high quality equipment, stunning view, everything was perfect. Thank you very much.

Nice location. Amazing view. Friendly owner.

Everything was perfect,neat, clean and comfortable, amazing views

The bedding was fair.. white linen wudv looked brighter and more refreshing,

Lovely Host, top Location, amazing view, baboons nearby :)

Fantastic views and very spacious.

It was a bit too far/steep for us to easy walk to the beach.

Location was good, the apartment was also very good, with the most incredible views of the Indian ocean. Our host John was lovely, very friendly, polite and went out of his way to help, we all had a fabulous stay at Penguiden.

We didn't have any problems or dislikes, apart from my teenage grandson commenting on WiFi being a bit slow one night he was wanting to watch a UK football game, this was quickly rectified by John, and we all watched the game.

Super place. Friendly host . Fantastik view.

Lovely Room, great view.

The view is beautiful. There is a hot tub and weber in the common area.

The wifi wasn’t working properly, the towels and linen is quite washed out and old. The toilet didn’t flush properly, often times got stuck wasting water. The kitchen tap is poorly maintained. There are water restrictions of 1.5 kilolitres per day for the entire house that wasn’t communicated to us prior to the stay.

It was very peaceful and beautiful the views are everything this place had everything we needed ❤️ and the person that was I could ask for anything was so helpful thank you so much !

What a fantastic view!

I would have preferred the tea bags and sugar to be individually wrapped

Everything

Nothing

Beautiful views over False Bay.

John is amazing - the view is stellar!

Beautiful apartment with lovely owners that will do their upmost for you to have a pleasant stay.

Lovely balcony with views, well equipped kitchen with BBQ facilities. My room was very comfotable.

The property info is a bit misleading - it was not clear that the kitchen & dining area is shared in the upstairs & there was another guest who played music until very late.
