Lock in a great price for Whale View Manor Guesthouse & Spa – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

The entire place was more than what we could have imagined. The staff were exceptional, and even the manager, Elsa went out of her way to accommodate my wife and I for something that she really didn't have to do. The views are stunning. The place is all that, and a bag of chips.

Charles, United States of America

The night staff who welcomed us were courteous and the room had a beautiful view. The bathroom was spacious with standard amenities.

Dishank, India

The view was amazing. I loved hearing the ocean while I slept.

Andrea, United States of America

The staff, Jackson and Gerard, was simply terrific.

Bernadine, United States of America

Personal attention, making sure our needs were met, with our scheduling and need of a driver. The breakfast provided was excellent! Presented beautifully hot when it's supposed to be hot and cold when it's supposed to be cold. we truly felt like we were the only two guests there. The honesty bar was a big hit.

One of our top picks in Simonʼs Town.Overlooking a beautiful swimming beach, this luxurious guesthouse lies on the outskirts of Simon’s Town and offers 10 individually decorated rooms with free parking and magnificent sea views.

Whale View Manor Guesthouse enjoys a privileged location on the False Bay coast, between Cape Town and Cape Point.

A complimentary full breakfast is served in Whale View Manor's cozy breakfast room. The attentive staff is happy to provide local knowledge and help with travel arrangements.

The rooms are beautifully decorated to echo South Africa’s own rich heritage. Each one is furnished with extra-large beds and satellite TV.

Some of the rooms offer beautiful sea views, while others command majestic mountain vistas and direct access to the grounds.

This is our guests' favorite part of Simonʼs Town, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

Little details were missing from my prior stay like the coffee in the room wasn’t refilled and the cups and saucers didn’t match. These were small things but just not perfect like it had been.
Love this hotel. We have stayed quite a few times before. It has such a lovely feel about it with little flowers, ornaments and matching colorful table mats each morning at breakfast. It has the beach across the road which is gorgeous. The bedrooms are so nicely presented and comfortable and the lounge is somewhere you can settle in summer or winter with a book and a beautiful view.

The location is absolutely gorgeous, waking up with the sun setting every morning. staff was very friendly and were excellent cooks! The included breakfasts were à la carte and were delicious. The couple who run the hotel take on a personal approach which really made us feel we are looked after properly. All in all a place I would return to and great value for money!

Parking isn’t ideal. Ended up parking on the road to save the hassle. Wifi is a bit slow at times.
Staff were helpful and provided great tips for exploring the area. Breakfast was excellent. Beautiful view from the hotel and great location outside of Cape Town. Easy access to visit Cape Point and walking distance to the penguins.

“Nice view; service needs help”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night

The manager who checked us out was incredibly unaccommodating. My friend wasn't feeling well so we requested an additional hour for checkout (since we had a long drive ahead of us) for which we were charged 100zar/hour and told we could check out later but would need to pay for every hour, meaning they didn't have anyone checking in after but were still unwilling to accommodate a small request. The hotel did not even provide a bottle of complimentary drinking water and it's not like there were shops within walking distance where they could be sourced. Finally, breakfast was very limited, especially for vegetarians (zero options). I was still hungry after their serving of two-three eggs and requested if I could have another helping which was met with a frown and "will get back to you if it's possible; I need to serve other guests". After waiting for 15-20minutes with no response, we decided to leave.
The night staff who welcomed us were courteous and the room had a beautiful view. The bathroom was spacious with standard amenities.
