Penguins View Guesthouse

My wife and I have travelled through to Cape Town on several occasions and generally restricted our entertainment and experiences to central Cape Town as well as the Blouberg and Melkbos areas. When planning this trip we decided to head to Simon's Town and booked into Penguin View Guesthouse and spent 3 nights in the Lighthouse Studio self- catering facility. We were greeted by the delightful owner, Heather Hurter, and walked into an incredible room which enjoys world class views of False Bay. The room was exceptionally clean and included all the necessary to make your stay comfortable, including certain self- catering equipment. The rooms are supper comfortable and also has a balcony where one can enjoy a coffee or sundowner, whilst being spoilt with a view of the best that South Africa has to offer. The world famous Boulder Beach is a short walk away as is the very quaint town center. Fishhoek and Kalk Bay are also a short drive away and as such this beautiful guesthouse is really conveniently situated. We will be back !!

The condo was a perfect location for our 3 days visit to Cape Town area. Within walking distance, you have Boulder beach and a public beach across the golf course. Simon's town has several restaurants. Driving to Cape Point and Cape Town was amazing and not too far away (within 1hrs). The condo itself is well equipped and has everything you need.

We stayed here three nights and enjoyed every moment! OK, there was some construction work going on, but on daytime we were on the road - and it really not disturb us. Weather was not best possible - but despite that we enjoyed every moment here. Had it been warmer, it would have been even better outdoors. Great scenery. excellent room with all necessary equipment. We really enjoyed every staying here. Short walking distance to Boulders Beach. Two mornings we were the first guest and shot some amazing photoes. Owners are very friendly couple, nice conversations with them. Earlier years we have been two times watching penguins, but stayed other locations. Now we know - this is The Place to return!
