Penguins View Guesthouse

My wife and I have travelled through to Cape Town on several occasions and generally restricted our entertainment and experiences to central Cape Town as well as the Blouberg and Melkbos areas. When planning this trip we decided to head to Simon's Town and booked into Penguin View Guesthouse and spent 3 nights in the Lighthouse Studio self- catering facility. We were greeted by the delightful owner, Heather Hurter, and walked into an incredible room which enjoys world class views of False Bay. The room was exceptionally clean and included all the necessary to make your stay comfortable, including certain self- catering equipment. The rooms are supper comfortable and also has a balcony where one can enjoy a coffee or sundowner, whilst being spoilt with a view of the best that South Africa has to offer. The world famous Boulder Beach is a short walk away as is the very quaint town center. Fishhoek and Kalk Bay are also a short drive away and as such this beautiful guesthouse is really conveniently situated. We will be back !!

From beginning communication with owner, Heather, to the warm welcome by her husband, John, our experience and stay was so enjoyable and relaxing! We enjoyed our self-catered breakfast(grocery a 5 min drive) on our private balcony, overlooking stunning False Bay and mountain range. Boulders Beach with the African penguin colony is a short walk and such fun! We highly recommend this lovely guesthouse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

We stayed at Penguin Guest House in November 2024 during our two week stay from UK. I can not praise our choice of place to stay enough. Communication in advance was first class. On arrival we found a spotless room with some little special touches, stunning views and the icing on cake was kind, thoughtful and big hearted hosts. A must stay.

A perfect weekend after a week-long conference in Cape Town for some peaceful relaxation and ease of penguin viewing! Did not disappoint at all. Wonderful accomodations, great walk from Guesthouse to Boulders Beach and the penguin reserve, easy to drive to Cape Point/Cape of Good Hope and easy drive into town to explore and eat!! All in all, I would not hesitate to stay here again!!

Beautiful place right by boulders beach, a walking distance. Spectacular scenery with a breathtaking view. Service and staff so friendly and great. Will definitely be recommending family and friends to go there. Safe parking and close to many places to walk around.
