Top Boulders Penguin Colony Hotel Reviews

Tintswalo Boulders

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and location, wonderful stsff and food was excellent."

Cottage with Sea Views

10/10 Excellent

"This house was a wonderful find. Equipped with everything you’d need for a short or medium stay. It was quiet, clean, and conveniently located to all the southern coast has to offer. Our property manager, Janine, was informative, responsive, friendly, and always helpful. Highly recommend this rental property.For those not familiar with it, Simon’s Town is a great little seaside town outside of Capetown - accessible to all the area attractions including the African penguin colony (must see) and the nearby Constanta vineyards and wineries. Really recommend this location to those seeking to avoid the larger urban setting of Capetown."

Mariner Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This beautifuly presented Guesthouse is perfectly situated by the mountains overlooking the beautiful SimonsTown harbour and False Bay. With free parking I was greeted at the property by the lovely manager and staff memebers who are so friendly, never stopped smiling and couldn't do enough for me. I was lucky enough to stay in Room 2, stunning presented with a 4 poster bed and balcony. The views are incredible, especially for sunrise! The all inclusive breakfast caters for all and is served in the dining and lounge area again with stunning views over the town. During my stay upon recommendation from the Manager, i visited Boulders beach to see the penguins, some museums and the lighthouse cafe for lucnh to name a few. For me this was the perfect setting for my short stay in SimonsTown and will be the first place I look to book upon returning to this wonderful part of South Africa. Thank you so much for looking after me for my visit. Its somewhere i look back very fondly on for my holiday in South Africa 2025. The best wishes for the future. Ian from the UK ❤️"

Penguins View Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at Penguins View Guesthouse and couldn't have been more pleased. 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!"

Residence William French

10/10 Excellent

"William and his crew were very welcoming and we loved the dogs! The driveway is a bit steep and there is no signage, so we were kind of confused when we first pulled in but the directions were on point. Beautiful home and view. We left before breakfast but were given delicious croissants to take with us. Would stay here again. "
