Self-catering accommodation in Simon’s Town, Cape Town

At our home in Simon’s Town we have two spacious self-catering apartments: our location on the mountain slope above the Boulders Coastal penguin colony, overlooks False Bay with magnificent, panoramic sea views, and is set in an indigenous garden of  pristine Cape fynbos – we have regular sightings of whales, fur seals, dolphins, penguins, sunbirds, sugarbirds and a host of other birds. And from the large sea-facing Shearwater apartment you can see these from your bedroom deck!

An added delight is the regular night-time opportunity to view porcupines coming to our floodlit pond. All in all the perfect breakaway destination to spend time away from the madding crowds with memories to savour and enjoy!

Simon’s Town is on the scenic outskirts of Cape Town, and as such we are well-placed for visitors with limited time in Cape Town, to enjoy the nature in the surrounding area, partake of the many adventure-based activities in the area, and to complete the experience with a tour of the Cape wine estates!

Our accommodation is  ‘birder-friendly’ with our natural fynbos garden setting and our expert knowledge of the birds of the region, so a natural choice if this is your interest. If you are planning on doing a pelagic trip while you are here, have a look at Patrick’s description of what to expect.
