The historic Naval town of Simons Town is situated approx. 40 km from Cape Town & 29 kms from Cape Town International Airport in the southern peninsular of Cape Town. We are located just 20 minutes from Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope (convenient for early access to the park), and are surrounded by mountain and ocean views. There are a variety of beautiful drives over to the Pacific side and day scenic trips to explore this beautiful southern peninsular.
The coastal harbour town of Kalk Bay is a 25 minute drive with it's ecletic mix of boutique shops, collectables, restaurants, galleries and a small theatre.
Noordhoek is an easy 20 minutes drive away and offers horse riding on Long Beach, a weekly Wednesday evening market, music evenings, shops, delhi's and restaurants all at Noordhoek Farm Village. The southern most vineyard, Cape Point Vineyard is also located at Noordhoek and hosts a weekly Thursday market in summer season. From here the famous Chapman's Peak drive starts in Noordhoek, taking in breath taking views along this inspired engineered road alongside the mountain, and down into Hout Bay.
Wifi is available for those who can't get away!

Amazing, clean rooms. Friendly staff.
Very friendly staff, ideally located near Beach and excellent services. I recommend it and nobody will regret staying here.
I enjoyed a delightful stay at the Boulders. It was wonderful to see the penquins walking around from time to time. It is a lovely quiet spot and the view from the restaurant is beautiful.
This was my first time in Cape Town. After a few days staying in the Green Point area of Cape Town, I decided to "hang out" with the African Penguins and booked 7 days at the Boulder's Beach Lodge & Restaurant. The stay at the Lodge was the highlight of my trip to South Africa. After the first two nights going to Cape Town to party, I spent the rest of the time exploring Boulder's Beach area and nearby towns. Since the instant I arrived at the Lodge, I felt like home. The staff was very friendly, professional and courteous, from management to waiters to housekeeping. A had nice clean room with a great shower. The restaurant served great food. The dishes were well presented and they were delicious. My favorite dishes were the carpaccio, the kudu and the melba pudding. The lodge is located next to the African Penguin Colony so you could see penguins walking in the parking lot.
Next time I'm in Cape Town, I will be staying here again. It is worthy.
Neat room, good view, good position

Simon's Town Reviews

The vibe...the view...the food
The beautiful view.
5 stars from me, amazing people, amazing view and such a small and intimate place!!!
LOVE SIMONSTOWN!
The buzz and quaintness.
The quaintness, cleanliness and lovely places to walk around.
It really is a must see town, there is a scratch patch with the most beautiful stones. Boulders beach is a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy the penguins and plenty of shops to browse, plus a very nice yacht club with plenty of spots to choose from to grab something to eat.
Everything is central.
The quiet tranquility :-)
The town itself is amazing, historical and quaint. The view of the bay and the beach were breathtaking.
