Penguin cottage is a lovely place with great views over False Bay, especially sitting on the patio area having breakfast at sunrise.
Nice shower and bedroom and a decent kitchen area. WiFi was good and there is cable TV
Barry's communication was excellent and check-in was easy.
We walked to and from the beach everyday and there are a few small gems of beach areas in the rocks (like having your own private beach) as well as some larger sandy beaches. It was a 15 minute walk down and maybe 20 minutes back from the beaches. Ignore any comments that say the walk back up is difficult, I'm 63 years old and found it effortless.
We also walked to Boulders and Seaforth beach 20 to 30 minutes and both were great for viewing the penguins.
Clovelly golf/country club is 15 minutes up the coast by car and is a great course. I played 9 holes at 4.30 pm for only 270 rand and you can hire decent clubs fo 200.
There are lots of nice places to eat in Simons Town with a few on the west side walkable from Penguin Cottage. An UBER ride is aorund 30 to 40 rand from the centre of Simons Town
Barry left enough wood for the Braai so we eat on the patio area most nights.
All in all FANTASTIC! and we will be back
