I highly recommend staying here. The view is fabulous! Online pictures do not show how beautiful it is. You can watch the birds, ships, sunrise, sunset, and clouds moving throughout the day. This is a very safe area. The building is safe, the locals are friendly and are often walking down the street for exercise. You get to observe life as it really is in Simon's Town. Boulder's beach with the penguins is only about a 10-15 minute walk away and there is parking there. You can easily walk to town to feel the ambiance of this quaint seaside city. Lots of restaurants and shops are there. Also it is about a 30 minute drive to the Cape of Good Hope and numerous beautiful beaches.
Sarah was extremely helpful, she answers texts quickly and took time to explain how things work in the home. She is a great resource for local information and she thinks about the little details to make your stay more comfortable. Everything we needed was provided in the home.
There is no AC here, but with the windows open and ceiling fans on, there was always a nice breeze. We felt cool and comfortable. I recommend that you bring a portable wifi device or buy a local SIM card with more than a Gig of data at the airport and you can use that instead of the wifi.. The wifi works for texting and voice calls but it can't handle downloading internet pages, steaming movies or sending photos and videos through social media.
