    The only problem we had was no water for our last evening and morning due to a burst pipe in the area. Fortunately for us we were leaving the next morning.

    There was absolutely nothing we didn’t like. They’d thought of everything.

    The most amazing outlook from the rooms over the beach. Very comfortable beds, spacious well equipped rooms, huge bathroom & fridge in the room. Delicious cooked breakfast & wonderful owner (Amanda) & staff, Wonderful & a lady whose name we didn’t get made us feel very welcome. Will definitely return, great location for getting around. Thanks Amanda & team, we had a great stay.

    There could be more sockets in the room, especially on both sides of the bed to charge mobile phones. But no big deal.

    Fantastic view, absolutely quiet area, perfect breakfast. Also the best mattress on the trip through South Africa (other were just super hard). We can just recommend to go there and even extended our stay. Thanks a lot to Nikkita and Amanda for everything!

    It was on a steep hill so driving up or walking up from local restaurant could be difficult for some but the views more than compensate for that

    It was very clean The host was friendly & professional & kept in contact to ensure we checked in on time etc The rooms were spacious with spectacular view over the bay. Breakfast excellent choice. It seems that nothing was too much trouble.

    There is still one negative point to note: Unfortunately, we had to leave paradise after 1 night.

    However, there is still one negative point to note: Unfortunately, we had to leave paradise after just one night. So my advice to all travelers: book more than one night at Simons Town Guesthouse!

    We stated between 3 and 4 p.m. to check in, but were already in Simons Town at 11 a.m. The friendly man called 'Wonderful' gave us a warm welcome and said early check-in wouldn't be a problem at all. He helped us carry our luggage up and showed us to our room. We were speechless. Perfectly and tastefully decorated, sparkling clean, equipped with everything your heart could desire and with an incredible view of the ocean, we were just overjoyed. Finding accommodation like this is like winning the lottery. The breakfast also left nothing to be desired. Fresh fruit salad, muesli, yoghurt, yes, you could even order a warm breakfast from Nikkita. Eggs in different variations, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes were available to choose from. Simons Town Guesthouse goes the extra mile to provide guests with a unique experience. Everything was just perfect thanks to the tireless efforts of Nikkita and Wonderful. Thank you both very much.

    We can highly recommend Simon's Townhouse. The reception by Wonderful was very friendly, the house very well maintained. Thanks to the beautiful location, it had a great view of the sea and was absolutely quiet apart from the sound of the waves. We really liked the room and there was nothing to complain about in terms of cleanliness. I would especially like to mention the full English omelette for breakfast - I have never eaten a better one anywhere, simply perfectly prepared and very tasty! Merci, Reiner + Doris

    Off course we knew that there was no swimming pool at this accomodation when we booked it, but this was something that we missed here.

    When we arrived, someone was already waiting to welcome us. We had a very nice, spacious room, with a perfect view. The breakfast was served in a nice breakfast-room and we had more than enough options to choose from.
