Having visited Simon's Town several times, it is no exaggeration when I say this is possibly the best short term rental one could possibly find in this peaceful, quaint town. We stayed a week and absolutely did not want to leave when our visit drew to a close!
We loved:
-the privacy and security measures around the home
-the fact that this is one of the few freestanding homes in the area that's "loadshedding-proof". We didn't feel the effects of the intermittent regional power outages
-the beautiful views and sunrises over False Bay
-the generous fireplaces and braai options (you truly couldn't ask for more!)
-amazing location - right at the entrance to Boulders Beach (vital for those with little ones who wish to be close to the warm, sheltered white sands of the penguin reserve)
-generous accommodations. Each room is comfortable and self contained.
-great responsiveness from the managing agents and the ever-available and helpful Lawrence. after hours, weekends - someone was always at the ready to respond and engage with our queries at all times.
-the separate lounges/entertainment areas for kids and adults
-cozy fireplaces in the living and dining areas
-stunning sunrises streaming in from the beautiful windows facing the bay - brightening and warming up the living rooms
-the consideration and small conveniences: dishwasher, washer, dryer, coffees, drinks, soaps etc
- exceptionally clean linens and towels
-a lovely, heated dipping pool and outdoor showers at each entrance
I would be hard pressed to find fault with Boulders Beach Villa.
The only limiting consideration would be for wheelchair-bound visitors getting into/out of the house. The showers are generous with no steps/drops in and out and one could easily access majority of the house from end to end - making life easier for those with limited mobility.
I could rave on for days about this property, but I'm fairly confident you'll not find a better stay anywhere else in Simonstown.
Thank you so much for hosting us, Mandy, Dean, Donald and Lawrence!
