It was very cozy. We had a very nice stay. The hostess is very friendly and helpful.

Dit was baie gesellig. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Beautiful view, comfortable and adequate. We had a nice stay. Small, but comfortable. We were very kindly received by our hostess. Another mirror by the table at the top of the bed would be a good idea.

Mooi uitsig, gerieflik en voldoende. Ons het lekker gebly. Klein, maar gerieflik. Ons is baie vriendelik deur ons gasvrou ontvang. Nog 'n spieël by tafeltjie aan bed se bokant sal 'n goeie plan wees.

Quick turn at Simon's Town. The place is clean, but the room needs a bit of updating. It gives the impression of being old-fashioned. What was particularly annoying was the person who stayed downstairs who smoked from time to time and it blew up into our room. The busy road was not a problem at all and the guesthouse was within walking distance of a nice restaurant.

Vinnige draai by Simon Stad. Die plekkie is skoon, maar daar kort 'n bietjie vernuwing aan die kamer. Dit skep die indruk van oudmodies. Wat veral gepla het, was die persoon wat onder gebly het wat kort-kort gerook het en dit het op gewaai na ons kamer toe. Die besige pad het glad nie gepla nie en die gastehuis was loopafstand na 'n lekker restaurant.

Pleasant. Comfortable. A place with a mirror, a chair and a power point for my wife to do her hair would be a nice feature.

Jail cell. This room is called the Seagull, giving you the image of blue skies and freedom. It would be more aptly named the jailbird. There is no airflow in this unit. Having no A/C is fine, but a fan is necessary when it is so hot and humid, and there is only a small window. We had to leave the door open to feel comfortable, which then subjects you to a lot of car noise and exhaust. Reading the description and viewing the photos doesn't really prepare you for the fact that the main road is literally at your front door, and the traffic starts very early, even on a Sunday. If you want to enjoy the view and have the curtains open, you have zero privacy. The room also has the ambience of a jail cell with unfinished brick walls and bars on the doors and windows. There is an open pipe running alongside the wall above one of the beds, which is obviously the toilet or the drain from the upper house, so that was also uncomfortable. There is no Wi-Fi and only a mosquito net for control in a room with two beds. There is no table or chairs to eat outside, and they don't want you to eat inside. In fact, you are "welcomed" with a long list of house rules they want you to sign AFTER you have BOOKED and PAID. The price of the room is double what most of the rooms of equivalent size and services are in Fishhoek. Paying extra to be on display on a busy public road, with no airflow, a long list of rules, and difficulty getting in and out with a car due to the vehicles for the dive shop blocking the parking was not worth the price because you cannot even enjoy the so-called sea view between the traffic, the train, and the electrical wires. I also have to say it was the most unfriendly and uncomfortable place I have stayed in South Africa after 3 years of crossing this amazing country. The attitude of the owner is highly condescending.

Elle was curt even before she arrived. It is very clear that she did not read the description, nor did she look at the pictures. So far I have only received good reviews for that particular room. It is cheaper and most guests like the rustic interior. I don't think Elle could ever be satisfied anywhere else. Her companion was very pleased with the room.

Elle was kortaf nog voor sy arriveer het. Dit is baie duidelik dat sy nie die beskrywing gelees het nie, en ook nie na die foto's gekyk het nie. Tot op hede het ek net goeie resensies ontvang vir daardie spesifieke kamer. Dit is goedkoper en meeste gaste hou van die rustieke interieur. Ek dink nie Elle sou ooit êrens anders tevrede gemaak kon word nie. Haar metgesel was baie tevrede met die kamer.

Our hostess was friendly and helpful upon our arrival. The unit was cleaned every day. The bath mat and towels were changed daily. We have no complaints.

Ons gasvrou was vriendelik en behulpsaam met ons aankoms. Die eenheid is elke dag skoongemaak. Die badmat en handdoeke is daagliks vervang. Ons het geen klagtes nie.

Beautiful view. Whilst the best feature of this property is the view, the huge negative is the thin walls of the bedrooms. We were booked into the Whale room, which, with the neighbouring room, shares a communal kitchen downstairs (should one need it). Our neighbours decided to cook a curry for their dinner, which resulted in the entire section being overwhelmed by the pungent smell of burning meat and curry spices, even permeating into our suite, even though the door was firmly closed. On top of that, they carried on talking to one another until well after 01h00, completely disregarding the fact that there were other guests. Needless to say, we will not be booking there again.
