Perfect location, spacious and clean!

The sleeper couch didn’t have linen pre made up for it and we had to go digging in the cupboards yet we were able to locate it. And to know the steep incline of the driveway before hand would have been nice as one traveller struggled getting in and out of the vehicle due to the incline due to age and fear of heights.

Lovely property with stunning views.

The entire place was magnificent. Definitely a must go. Quiet but close to the main road. Beautiful views. Just all around amazing.

Some more blankets would have been good as it was a cold weekend. Please put the hot water bottles in the bedroom cupboard as I only found them in the kitchen cupboard on the day that we left!!

Great location, just near the Drosty steps to walk into town. Lovely views over the harbour from the upstairs deck. Very comfortable rooms and well equipped kitchen.

Not a big negative, but maybe consider putting a blind in the main bedroom bathroom? Great to see the view, however, with the neighbouring houses being on the same level, felt slightly exposed. Second bathroom toilet seat could be replaced. Otherwise it was a wonderful little house that my family enjoyed staying in.

Loved the location and feel of the house, very homely and comfortable. Views over the bay were beautiful. Great to have a balcony to experience these views.

We came at the end of the winter season and so the evenings/nights were fresh....some heating would have been welcome in the lounge.

Lovely property very well located, with all the commodities. We will not hesitate to book it again.

Very comfortable and well-laid out. Great location, close to the main shops and restaurants, yet just far enough to ensure a quiet night’s rest. Having both an open terrace and an undercover terrace is a bonus with Cape Town’s crazy weather. The owner is a pleasure to deal with.

The freezer was completely iced up and couldn't be accessed. No hairdryer which is not a train smash, but it would have been nice to know. Electric blankets would be a bonus. It was cold. A start up bag of firewood would have been nice. An ovenproof dish would have been useful.

Breakfast wasn't included. Location was great convenient to all amenities.

As some other reviewers have mentioned previously the soft furnishings (carpets and sofa's) could do with some TLC or replacement but the ample soft furnishings made the house feel homely and cosy

Wonderful stay at Bougainvillea House, the key instructions and property detail on arrival was very clear and easy to follow. The owner was very attentive via text and was quick and efficient to provide additional clean linen when required. BH is up a (slightly steep) but quiet lane off the main street. The surrounding houses with their white walls and flowing Bougainvillea gives the property a very Mediterranean feel. The house is old fashioned but has all the amenities needed for a short or long stay. The kitchen is spacious and again serves quick meals or a 3 course dinner prep being fully kitted. The lounge and enclosed verandah were perfect when the South Easterly blows as its sheltered and private yet gives a glimpse of the harbour below. It is an very quiet, secure and peaceful spot and only the birds and odd baboons create any noise. We stayed for 5 days during April and found the house and bedrooms as well as beds comfortable and spacious.

No complaints.

Cleanliness of the property. The host kept us informed of everything from the start right to the end of our stay. Peace and quiet and stunning views and very homely feel. Highly recommend Bougainvillea House.

The elevated position gives it good views over Simon’s Town and False Bay. Although it is on a steep road it is easily navigated by car, just off the Main Street. The house is well equipped, spacious and clean. There is very good provision for load shedding periods with adequate lighting and ‘phone charging. An overall beautiful place with two balconies with sea views. Garth is a helpful and friendly host. We would recommend a short or long term stay at Bougainvillea House.
