So nice! This hotel is suitable for self-driving tours, the location is excellent, facing the sea, although there are not many rooms, but the home is warm, the service is good, and the breakfast is good. The key is that it is very close to the place to see the penguins. You can drive for 5 minutes and walk for 2 kilometers.
Our stay at Tintswalo Boulders in Simon’s Town was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for a truly relaxing and luxurious experience. The location is breathtaking, with stunning ocean views and direct access to the famous Boulders Beach, home to the charming penguins. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise from our beautifully designed room was an experience we will never forget. The suite was elegant, spacious, and impeccably maintained, with thoughtful touches that made us feel completely at home. Every detail, from the stylish decor to the little luxuries, was carefully considered. Not only was breakfast a daily highlight, but we also had dinner at the lodge, and it was an equally outstanding experience. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Each dish reflected quality ingredients and careful preparation, making for a truly memorable meal. The service throughout our stay was exceptional – warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Tintswalo Boulders is the perfect combination of exclusivity, comfort, and natural beauty. Whether for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat, this is a destination we would highly recommend. We can’t wait to return!
The staff were so accommodating and suggested great venues to visit for lunch and dinner. The breakfasts were amazing with a variety of choices. We had a sea facing room that was awesome with views over the harbor and the room was clean and air conditioned and ready on time. I would recommend this hotel 100%!

Albatross House provided the perfect venue for 3 days of exploring the Cape Town South Peninsula - the accommodation is situated high up against the mountain above the harbour and town, and we enjoyed showing our guest from the UK the tourist attractions and having our meals in great local restaurants, using this as a base where we could return to at night and enjoy a few hours sitting up on the balcony overlooking the town.. Our host, Andre, communicated very well and provided the necessary flexibility when requested.
This bed and breakfast is in the ideal location to visit Simon’s town and its coastline however the actual set up of the bed and breakfast is a huge let down.
We arrived to find our room was not ready, once it was the place still looked unkempt, there was a bucket in the bath, the furniture had not been returned to its original locations well and the complimentary items seemed used.
On our second night there was load shedding a common occurrence however there seemed to be no precautionary measures taken and we had to use our phone lights to climb the three flights of stairs to our room only to find the rechargeable light (obviously for such occasions) had no batteries and was therefore useless. As South African citizens we fully understand the uncertainty of power but for the cost and normal clientele of this accommodation we really expected there to be more in place.
The meal times had been adjusted for the convenience of the staff who were on the premises compared to the welcome sheet details we received on arrival. The whole place seemed to be being run by support staff with no obvious manager on site for the three days we were there (we stayed over a weekend which I would assume to be a prime time)
There is about 4 parking sports in front of the building but they were not being used to their full potential and often we had to park a little further away.
Overall the location was the main positive. Considering the price we would have hoped to have better amenities and hope that the profile for this accommodation can be amended as there are no pools on the property unlike what the description had lead us to believe.
Luckily the charm of Simon’s town and the beaches made up for the serious lack of attention to detail and luxury you would assume a place this price and in this location would have.
3/10 would probably not go there again.
The service was okay - one lady told us that we couldn’t get Ubers or takeaways but we managed to get both fine! Load-shedding was at stage 4 but wifi worked well from the bedroom, even during blackouts. Room was small but did the job! Good location for seeing the penguins and enjoying Simon Town…
