Reviews of Penguins View Guesthouse

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
