Today, Boulders House has been lovingly restored into a grand yet welcoming retreat for up to 14 guests. The house carries its history with dignity: wide verandahs, high ceilings, and long corridors that flow into seven generous bedrooms and five bathrooms, each layered with character and charm. At the same time, thoughtful updates — from modern bathrooms to fibre internet, solar power and a sparkling pool or the wood-fired hot tub — ensure a stay that’s as effortless as it is enchanting. Mornings begin with coffee on the stoep or a swim with penguins in the calm waters below. Days stretch into hikes along the Cape Peninsula, lazy games on the lawn, or simple pleasures in the sunny conservatory with its fireplace. Evenings invite seafood braais, stargazing from the terrace, or long conversations around the dining table, where the house seems to wrap you in its history. Whether you’re reclining in a free-standing bath, watching the naval ships cross the bay, or gathering around the fire after a day in the sun, life at Boulders House moves to the rhythm of the ocean. Both elegant and familiar, grand yet intimate — this is a home designed for creating memories. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 7 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 5.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![6 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, Internet, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120340000/120332900/120332821/07e0d16b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Links Crescent: Contemporary Coastal Sanctuary Simon's Town - Pool - Hot tub - Parking available - Barbecue grill [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=120332821&PinnedHotelID=120332821&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90440000/90438900/90438889/fba99dfe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Open Plan Family-friendly, walking distance to beach, With Pool.
