The room was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to see the penguins, and the beach was visible right from our window. The highlight of our stay was waking up to the sunrise on the balcony. Highly recommend this place. ##### Thea Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roland 29 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean, neat and well maintained.

The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking—perfect for morning coffee or a sunset wind-down. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and recharge. One of the best parts? It's just a short walk to the famous penguin beach! Waking up and strolling over to watch the penguins in their natural habitat was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend this guesthouse for anyone visiting the area! ##### Jason Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Line Marie 9 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location!! Just off a golf course and a 5 minute walk from Boulders Beach. Super cute rooms with comfortable beds and lots of amenities. Heather is so responsive and went above and beyond to meet our needs. If you go to Simon Town, this is a beautiful place to stay. Make sure you get Shepard as your driver if you need one. He was amazing!!!! ##### Line Marie Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best room in Simons Town? 3 night stay in the honeymoon suite and suspect that this is the loveliest room in Simons Town. The balcony with the braai was a great spot for drinks and dinner. Kitchen area was well equipped and the hostess very attentive to our needs, making for a relaxing stay e.g. informed us of expected load shedding and provided a gas ring for use if necessary. Didn't actually use the pool but it looked lovely and the grounds were very well kept. An immaculate property, highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua 10 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property in a beautiful location. Well kept with all the amenities you would expect and more. The couple that runs the property are extremely friendly and helpful, providing various updates and tips throughout my stay. The location itself was fantastic, with an amazing view of boulders beach. The unit is well equipped for loadshedding. The property is secure and the area never made me feel unsafe. Thank you so much! ##### Joshua Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane 13 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The perfect guesthouse with a view to die for Penguins View Guesthouse is one of the best places we have stayed at on our road trip around SA. The views, the comfort, the amenities and so on were just 1st class. The Guesthouse provided such comfortable towels, beach towels, tons of pillows and wonderful bedlinen. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything. The pool and bar area were so clean and fun too. Heather the owner gave us little tips on where to swim etc and this was invaluable. We just loved it all. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alexander 15 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely perfect, would love to stay again, and for longer, great view, location, just perfect ##### alexander Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darrell 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great view in a lovely area Lovely stay in a lovely place, without doubt one of the best views we have enjoyed in accommodation anywhere. Hosts are very hands off and that was fine as we didn't need anything. There is no lift to the property which might be an issue for an older or weaker peron but I am sure they would have helped and there is an asistant always around if you needed ##### Darrell Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Trond 29 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good stay at Penguins guesthouse Nice place.
