We only stayed one night and checked out earlier than originally planned.
Des was lovely on arrival and a bit upset and unwilling to assist us when we checked out 3 days early.
Glencarin heights is NOT kalk bay and NOT Simon's Town if that is what you're after. There are no coffee shops, restaurants or the like for a good couple of km's. There is nothing in walking distance and you would need a car to get around.
The area is situated on the hill side before you reach the ocean with the main transit road in view. We unfortunately found the location quite depressing and run down.
However, the apartment itself was clean and contained the basics you need for a night or two. It was pretty and effort had been made to make the apartment comfortable for guests. It was smaller than the pictures made it look and is directly above the garage ( where we were woken up with the sound of someone gathering tools below) we could also hear other guests, but this doesn't usually bother us.
You access the apartment through a flight of stairs and there is a little bistro table and the bottom for you to sit and have coffee and smoke.
You need to close all of the blinds to get any privacy from the street. There is a skylight, so you definitely cannot sleep in, although the bed is very comfortable.
Overall it's a good place for exploring Simon's Town and Surrounds on a budget, but don't expect to be able to just stay for a day as the minimum requirement is a two nights stay.
Unfortunately our host was not very understanding when we left and would not ammend our booking on her side which led us to paying for 2 full days whilst only being at the property for less than 24 hours.
