The view was a mazing and the ladies running the place were fabulous.
The breakfast was a lovely selection of meats, cheeses, fruit salad and breads.
We also loved our complimentary little cakes as we arrived.
I loved that you could get a good coffee on request.

Lovely host, and Peter looked after us, great breakfast, amazing views.

Situated in Simonʼs Town, near Water's Edge Beach, Boulders Beach and Seaforth Beach, Tintswalo Boulders has a terrace. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking.
Beautiful village. Generally felt safe.
Annoyed with parking at Jubilee Square to walk around and returning 15 mins later with a parking ticket for Bertha’s restaurant for R15. No notice that parking was chargeable, and we didn’t go near Bertha’s. On principle I won’t recommend it to anyone because of the underhanded approach.

It's a lovely, peaceful town with stunning ocean views.
It's a lovely, peaceful town with stunning ocean views. I absolutely loved seeing the penguins (they're adorable!) and trying scuba diving in the cold water—definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience! On the way to the diving points, I even spotted penguins and a seal swimming. For nature lovers, this is a must-visit destination.
The only downside is its distance from downtown Cape Town and the wineries. Next time, I would stay in the CBD for a few days to explore the main attractions, then move to Simon's Town for relaxation and nature. The taxi fare (mostly via Uber) was expensive and time-consuming, and unfortunately, there was no public transportation available.

For dining, try "The Lighthouse Café" for seafood and Mediterranean dishes, or "Saveur Restaurant" with its beautiful views of the harbor and great service. There are plenty of cozy cafés and restaurants along the waterfront.
Favourite Places: Some top spots in Simon’s Town include Boulders Beach for penguin watching, the Naval Museum for history enthusiasts, and Seaforth Beach for a quiet retreat. Don't miss the scenic coastal views along the way.

The restaurants were excellent value for money and served delicious food. There were plenty of eateries to choose from. A very pretty village in which I felt safe.
Boulder Beach and the penguins were easy to find. You don’t need to pay to go onto the beach to see the African Penguins you can use a boardwalk for free and still see good views of them. Lots of rock hyrax in the bushes are not shy and will pose for a photo. Just remember they are still wild animals.

Simon's Town is close to seeing the penguins, the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve, the famous lighthouse at Cape Point and sign at the Cape of Good Hope. On the nature reserve I saw baboons, ostriches, and other wonderful flora and fauna.

Very special place. The two managers do really everything they can do to make your stay enjoyable. There are so many little details that make this hotel special. Apart from the room there is plenty of ways to hang out - such as at the billard room or in the common room on the top floor. Wifi is fast, breakfast is sumptous, location offers great views over the bay from every room. A unique place - compared to centre of Cape Town at a fair price.
The view was absolutely stunning. The hotel was within walking distance from most restaurants and shops. Pearl, the lovely lady at reception, was very friendly and helpful and went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed. I will definitely return.
I absolutely loved everything. The owner and the staff were the best, the room was insane, it looked like something from a magazine, never in my wildest dreams I imagined that, and they even have the most adorable totes bags with the hotel.... everything 5 stars
Remarkable view of Cape Town and surrounding mountains. Great breakfast and comfortable and cozy common areas. Simon's Town and surrounding areas are beautiful and amazing to visit. Very kind host and comfortable and clean bed.
Hotel with the best possible localisation in Simontown. Penguins everywhere.
The room was clean and nice.
Absolutely no problems with check in and parking.
