This getaway is close enough to central Cape Town to leave you with spare time not spent travelling. It is also close to nature (has a mountain backdrop and wonderful bay views from the lounge and deck). The bed is great, decor tasteful and unimposing, everything was clean and fresh, and we had everything we needed, including fluffy beach towels! I appreciated Jean's reminder to close the windows when going out, because of possible visits by baboons - we didn't see any, but you don't want them eating your All-Bran while you're at the beach. We had a peaceful stay, a good spot to enjoy summer or winter, with a beach in walking distance, other walks nearby, Simonstown shops and restaurants, and of course the fantastic safe swimming beaches. Jean was a discreet but available host, very open to our feedback, and her bulldog was quiet and almost invisible. There is no lock-up parking but the location is sufficiently tucked away to be reasonably safe.
