    This guest house located on the slopes of a mountain in Simon's Town offers breathtaking views of the nearby township and stunning ocean scenery. Guests loved the homely atmosphere and attention to detail in their clean and comfortable rooms, with highlights including balconies overlooking the ocean. the delicious breakfast, friendly service, and proximity to local sightseeing made for an unforgettable stay.

    The Wi-Fi signal could be stronger and may not be reliable during loadshedding.

    We had an unforgettable stay with the most breathtaking views of the Western Cape area and the beautiful ocean. The hotel facilities were so clean and well-maintained, including the parking and transportation services. The hotel staff was so friendly and accommodating, especially during the delicious breakfast.

    Everything was fantastic.

    The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning, and the room itself was comfortable and well-equipped. We particularly enjoyed being able to use the honesty bar and full kitchen, which meant we could make ourselves at home. The location was also great, with easy access to the beach and plenty of options for eating and drinking nearby.

    We were a bit put off by the aggressive dogs when we first arrived, which could be scary for small children or those who aren't familiar with dogs. However, they were fine with us once they got used to us. The hill up to the property was also quite steep, which could be a challenge for smaller engine vehicles. All in all, we had a good experience during our xmas stay.

    We absolutely loved our stay at this place! The location, nestled on the slopes of Glencairn Mountain, provided the most breathtaking views we have ever seen. The sunrise from the balcony was simply amazing. The room itself was incredibly comfortable, with all our needs catered to. We especially appreciated the honesty bar and full kitchen, which were great additions for any extra needs we had. The hotel is conveniently located near several places to eat and drink, making it very convenient for us. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We also enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the fantastic running routes nearby. All in all, this hotel provided enhanced comfort and quality services that truly made us feel at home.

    We highly recommend this hotel to friends and family.

    We spent Easter weekend at a lovely guesthouse nestled between two popular tourist destinations in South Africa. the location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions. the host was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was amazing. We particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit and delicious full breakfast. the view from the guesthouse was also breathtaking and made for a very relaxing stay.

    It would have been nice if there was a backup generator in case of power outages as we were there during load shedding.
