Comfortable guest house with amazing views.

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!

Cozy place in a small town

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!

The bedrooms both enter into a central living room kitchen which is shared if you don't rent the whole flat which makes it uncomfortable if you want privacy.

In need of an upgrade

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.

Hard to beat

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.

Excellent B&B in Simon's Town

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.

THE ULTIMATE BREAKFAST VIEW

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.
