Lovely location in a quiet seaside town.

Fully equipped apartment which was clean and spacious. The hosts went above and beyond for us as our case went missing; they provided us with chargers and UK adapters and offered phone services to help us communicate with the airport. The location over looking boulders beach was lovely.

Place was fabulous. Bed was very comfy, plenty of space and the view was stunning. Watched the penguins go off to hunt in pods in the morning.

Paradise in Penguins land

The property is a few feet from Boulder Beach. You can literally see the penguins from the balcony. It’s a very spacious, clean and nice property.

A brilliant location, and lovely apartment

Nice apartment with a brilliant view of False Bay from its balcony. The owners could not have been more helpful - brilliant communication and clear information regarding local restaurants etc. There is a brilliant restaurant just a short walk down the hill, near the shoreline, which served great breakfasts and lunch and dinner, but closes at 8.00pm (take your own wine, as it's not yet licensed - they provide the ice etc.). We left the restaurant in the evening, to find several penguins in the car park and on nearby rocks - made our stay special!

Lovely Guesthouse with stunning views

The property is perfectly placed and easy to find and we were met on arrival and shown our apartment which had stunning views, a balcony and a spacious room with a great bed. The host was very friendly and offered advice on things to do in the area with our time and the information pack in the room is first rate.

Our apartment had an incredible view over the coast and the penguin beach, and at night, the sight turned into a sea of lights across the coast. It was amazing 🤩
