Once our rental car made it up the steep hill we were welcomed by the owner and after a tedious check-in finally shown the rooms. The house is modern, stylish with a clean bathroom and big rooms in general, including nice views of false bay. It is unfortunate, however, that there is no balcony or terrace to enjoy the sun...

A beautiful house with sea views. Temporary managers were looking after the guesthouse and they were very accommodating and lovely people. We would definitely recommend this guesthouse. To have a car would be preferred but that's cape town in general. Thank you Sandra and Mullen for a wonderful stay. More

Lovely guest house; beautiful appointments. Wonderful views. Excellent Service by temporary managers who were filling in for the owners. Only comment is that it is not actually in SImons Town despite the name; it is in Glencairn Heights . More

Wonderful house , brand new rebuilt and with an interesting architecture, decorated simply but with a very good taste, you have the impression of sleeping just above the ocean, the owner is very friendly and make feel you like in your home, and the breakfast is delicious. A very good and charming place. More

We booked beforehand and everything went smooth. We had the corner room with view of the ocean. We arrived much later as expected, with a person extra! Everything was taken care of. The room was very comfertable room. My wife eats "glutenfree" and this also was taken care of. Mostly restaurants take care of it "by way of leaving things... More

My partner and I booked a night in this guesthouse as the last night of our trip around the Cape coast. We booked the corner room (#1, I think) as it had view of the ocean as well as the mountains to the side. The room was very comfortable and we had a very peaceful sleep, even though there was...

I just wish I lived in SA so that I could visit more often. Amanda is very welcoming and the rooms are superb with an African theme and tremendous views . We visited at the end of the whale seson but still managed to see one from our room within a few minutes of arriving! Breakfast was great with care... More

Not only is the property beautiful, but more importantly Amanda the woman running the show is really trustworthy, responsive, and clearly loves her job! She helped us book all our activities, including dinner reservations and took a lot of initiative to make sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend! More

I cannot say say enough about Amanda and Simonstown Guest House. Even before we arrived Amanda was beyond helpful and responsive. When we arrived every one of our group of five was impressed with the decor and the view from each bedroom. We had an uninterrupted view of the sea. Amanda was wonderful, always helpful but never overinvolved. I would... More

We spent two fantastic nights at Simonstown Guest House at the end of a recent holiday around the Western Cape and we couldn't recommend it highly enough. We'd got engaged earlier in the holiday and Amanda greeted us with champagne on ice, rose petals on the bed, candles and a recently-run bubble bath! She was absolutely delightful. She'd given us...
