The property was clean, and the friendly staff were always smiling and helpful. Special mentions to the front desk, restaurant, and cleaning teams! The room was excellent, spacious, well stocked, and safe. Glad we selected Boulders from the long list of choices in the Simon’s Town region.

This cozy property was conveniently located right at Boulders Beach with easy access to the beach and penguins waddling through the parking lot at sunrise. Parking was a little crowded during the day but cleared out in the evening. The on-site restaurant offered tasty dinner and we were always met with friendly staff. We were also an easy drive from Simon's Town for other food options. Cape Point was a bit of a drive, maybe 45 minutes but made for an excellent day outing! The room was clean with a well-stocked kitchenette, nice shower, and warm blankets for the chilly weather we encountered. Overall, a very lovely place to stay!

Cannot recommend this place enough. If you are looking for a Hilton, this is not for you. It is a very friendly small hotel right next to the penguins. The staff so friendly and helpful and the food was way beyond what I was expecting. Could not do enough for us. Thank you.

While a simple accommodation, it is clean and the location is priceless-adjacent to Boulders Beach. The staff, while on-site were helpful. I had read an earlier post that they did not serve dinner. That must have changed recently as their cafe was open until 7:30 pm. Closed early, but helpful to just hang out as we only arrived late afternoon.

This is a great property for penguin spotting as the penguins were right outside the property after the carpark. The front desk and cafe at the property will close after 5pm though so you need to ubereats or drive out for dinner. It can be very dark outside and the property is not enclosed so strangers can come to your room, so do remember to lock your door. This property has no AC and one small portable fan is provided in the room. The room can get stuffy in Summer. Property has no carpark of its own so you need to park your car outside the property which is an open public carpark. So park at your vehicle at your risk.
