Great place!
Amazing view!
More space than we needed!
Andre was fantastic at welcoming us and giving us fabulous recommendations for dining and activities.
Felt fantastic spending time in Simon's town. Stay down here. See the penguins and the Cape. Sure, you can drive up to Capetown, but stay here!
Comfortable, clean and homely guest accommodation with good amenities and great views over False Bay. Great breakfast included too. Good value-for-money.
The Guest house is in a peaceful street way above the town, with amazing views from the balcony. The room was clean and comfortable with good beds and a delicious breakfast. We had a car, but decided to walk to the town, walking back was a steep climb, but the owner did warn us!
This a very nice guest house with a beautiful seaside view, and a breathtaking sunrise view from the balcony. I enjoyed my stay there, and would stay there again if ever I am in Simon’s Town again.
We stayed 2 nights. As other guests have mentioned the apartment is in need of an upgrade.Old furniture, carpets worn, in need of painting and TLC. An odd setup. To access the apartment you walk through a room where the maid does the ironing.You then enter through another door into the lounge area. We were not given the key to this door which means that members of staff can just walk into the apartment.There is a further door off the lounge which is an office.We were sitting in the lounge and the owner came from the office, walked through and walked back through the lounge later on. Considering the price we paid we were disappointed.

Fantastic view
Views to die for, but bit of a steep walk back from town, and room had a slight damp smell. Hwever the host was wonderful and very helpful. And breakfast was excellent.
Amazing view, a bit trickly to find, friendly service, superb breakfast. Lovely sitting room and kitchenette Very peaceful. We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to everyone.excellent value
A superb venue!
The view from the lounge and the bedroom was amazing.
The bedroom was delightfully furnished and comfortable.
The breakfast was delicious and well presented.
The owners made us very welcome.
Great views from sun trap balconies, sheltered position in summer, superb towels and daily linen change, lovely breakfasts. All round a remarkable bargain. We were two couples and had rooms off a dedicated lounge which was absolutely ideal. The only downside is endemic in the advantages, it is very high making a car pretty well essential and the access is labyrinthine even with Google mapping.
A beautiful b&b with beautiful views of the harbor. Owner & staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was spacious & breakfast was terrific. We had to depart early in the morning but they happily accommodated us by serving the full breakfast 1.5 hours ahead of "official" starting time. Helped arrange transportation & were just genuinely nice folks. Would definitely stay again.
Albotross house is up on the side of the mountain over looking False bay. An excellent place to base yourself to visit the Cape/ cape point.
Leon and Sandie where excellent hosts their knowledge and info of the area helps to make up your mind on what you want to see and do.
Breakfast was outstanding with the view as well it one of thoes places you will always remember.
Very cozy place on a small town, with a shared kitchen full of appliances to do whatever you need, comfortable bed, floor temperature adjustment, very friendly host. Only downside is the internet, but if you don't need it to work, you're good! (Vodacom would only get 2g signal over there and wi-fi is slowish). Definitely worth the stay!
