The cottage is located on a small quiet residential road. It has magnificent views, especially from its sun terrace - a perfect place to relax and read a book. Bookshelves filled with a good selection of books were much appreciated. WIFI and Netflix were just the icing on the cake for our screen dependent teenager but the WiFi was also very helpful for the adults to connect on WhatsApp. Barry, who welcomed us at the property was very friendly and chatty. We truly loved the property and we would definitely love to stay there again on our next trip to Cape Town. ##### Nathalie S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### KarenBeth B. 12 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Positively Charming Holiday Stay My husband and I spent 4 lovely nights in this charming cottage overlooking False Bay, in Simon’s Town, Cape Town, South Africa. It had everything we needed and the local manager who checked us in was fantastic and provided lots of recommendations for places to go, sites to see, and where to eat. We enjoyed walking down to the beach to see penguins and other wildlife. We were even once greeted by a baboon calling out from the top of a house nearby. The view is breathtaking! You can see the sunrise over the bay in the morning as you drink your coffee on the portico or from the seating area inside. The owner has numerous potted plants as well as grape vines adorning the entrance way and outdoor seating areas. There is a beautiful mosaic mermaid mural which represents the naming of the cottage. Communication before and during the stay was with both the owner and the manager was excellent. We would love to stay here again in the future. A few days here left us wanting more. ##### KarenBeth B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 May 2019 #### Amazing views !!! Elspeth, thank you so much for such a memorable stay at your home. This home is in a great location. Bolder beach is literally a 5 min walk away. The views from the porch are perfect for sunrise coffee. The home itself is great. Very clean and again good views from the living room windows. Berry was amazing as well. Answered any questions we had. He went above and beyond to make sure we knew where good restaurants were and a small grocery down the street for snacks to keep at the house. Berry even helped us unload our luggage. He is amazing and an A+. Elspeth Thank you for keeping in touch making sure we made it and that check in and out went smooth. Hope to see you again soon !!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea D. 8 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location and amazing property manager The checkin process is unlike anything I have ever experienced, but I totally get it now. The house needs to be secured from baboons so there is a process that needs to be explained in person. It’s not hard, just too much to explain in text. Jenni the property manager is an absolute delight. The location of the property couldn’t be any better. It’s walkable to boulders beach. The porch/patio is gorgeous, sadly it was too cold to really get to enjoy it for our stay but in warmer months it’s perfect for sunrise or moonrise (not facing the right direction for sunset, but still gorgeous). The property is older so it doesn’t have a lot of outlets in convenient places and the sinks are the old school double faucet, but it’s very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Andrea D.

Short walk to view the penguins at Boulders Beach. Beautiful sunrise over the bay. We enjoyed breakfast at the Lighthouse Cafe. We used the clothes washing machine and hung our clothes outside on the line to dry. Two bathrooms with bathtubs and no standup shower. I haven’t taken a bath sitting in the tub since I was a child. The electric wall heater in one bedroom did not work. We enjoyed meeting Barry at arrival but I have never before had to pay a security deposit in cash. Using a credit card was not available. We didn’t have water one day because of a water main break in town. We experienced load shedding in Johannesburg and decided that no water was worse than no electricity. This is Africa was our reaction. Our 3 night stay here was part of a 3 week vacation across Southern Africa visiting family. ##### Matt W.
