The room is much larger than the pictures suggest, and the hosts are very - thoughtful, kind, and helpful - and respectful of privacy. Easy separate entrance to the room.
But the best part is the LOCATION! First time to Cape Town, and I am so glad I stayed in Simon's Town and not downtown. Beautiful ocean-side driving, down to the Cape, around and through Tabletop national park, and checking out all the villages along the way. And just up the road is Kalka, which is a great spot for a sundowner (try Cape-to-Cuba) and of course to watch the seals get much too close to the fishermen/-women. And the vice-versa the tourists (seals are still wild!).
Also, driving on the left is no problem - after a day I was perfectly comfortable (just stay alert). I recommend renting a car at the airport and taking advantage of doing your own thing.
