10/10 Excellent
"The absolute best place to stay in Simon’s Town! It’s right on the water and close to everything. We were sadly there the night the town turned the power off for electrical work but it was still a very comfortable night. The staff were very friendly and told us all about the local history. Wish we could have stayed longer."
