Penguins View Guesthouse has well-equipped self-catering accommodation featuring free WiFi in Simon’s Town, a 5-minute walk from Boulders Beach. Free private parking is available on site.

The guest house has an outdoor pool, garden and barbecue facilities. It is very relaxing. Excellent view of the ocean, Boulders Beach can also be seen. It is very close to Boulders beach where you can walk or swim with penguins. The host kindly permitted us to stay an extra half a day because we had an evening flight and no one checked into this room. This was very kind. We went to see penguins once again and had pancakes and coffee in small cafes which were within walking distance. Walking is pleasant - this is a special walkway where you see many nesting penguins right nearby. My husband also likes that there are many hyraxes. The place is far from the center of the town, but if you want to see penguins then it is a very good place. Also, he liked that there is a fridge in the breakfast area where you can take a beer or wine any time (for money). It was a very convenient feature, taking into account that many places close at 5 PM. The electricity went off a few times, but the owner provided a schedule in advance and it was not a problem. Also, provided many candles and solar-powered lamps.
