The place was amazing. if you need to get away a bit that's the place to go and relax, it is so tranquil.
The cottage is beautiful.
Will definitely go again.
Beautifully located with an amazing view of False Bay. The unit was clean and spacious with the little extras like fresh milk that make it a pleasure.
Stunning views, beautiful and spacious!
We had the most enjoyable stay there. Very beautiful, clean residence. Staff were very accommodating. Definitely recommend Simonsview, excellent holiday accommodation
In short, this is great value for money. Clean, comfortable and the view is the best. This was our second time at Simons View and I will definitely stay there again
The area was quiet clean and extremely well taken care of. A true pleasure to visit. Very much recommended.
Warm reception and the place had everything that I needed,peace and quiet and most importantly the beautiful view.
We loved our stay! Sail loft is way better than the pictures portray. Everything was perfect. From the communication with the host to the manager, Godfrey, who even helped us check in after hours. (which wasn't necessary as there is a lock box). The views are awesome and the inside warm and comfortable. Little thoughtful touches like milk in the fridge, tea, coffee, sugar, toiletries, etc makes it quite special. Although we only stayed one night, it will be great for a longer stay, as it is fully equipped for self catering and even boasts a washing machine in the bathroom! Really lovely stay, thank you.
My stay at Simons View were very comfortable and everything was in place and clean. The view is amazing and your privacy was top class.

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.
