Great place to stay especially for visits to boulders beach, cape point, and Chapman’s peak drive. Hosts were extremely helpful and rooms were very well furnished. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Best Experience EVER
The hostess, Sharon, was absolutely amazing. She was kind and informative. She was always helpful and available when we needed anything. The property itself was stunning, our room was beyond anything we had imagined it would be. I would have to say that the overall experience was by far better than staying at a 5-star hotel. It was intimate, personal and I am still left feeling speechless.

Beautiful location
Property is beautiful and right by the bay - a bit of a hike from the penguins and Simon’s Town, but definitely walkable. All of the staff is very friendly and gave us great advice on things to do. The breakfast is fantastic!
