This was absolutely amazing stay. 10 minute walk to penguins and unforgettable view of False Bay. Very nice hike up the mountain to the saddle is a vigorous 1hr ascent. Room is compact & very well designed. Everything is within arms reach. Balcony has an astounding view. The apartment is well shielded from the wind. Neighborhood feels safe. 25 minute walk to shops & coffee. Uber is reliable but can take a while occasionally. South Africa's energy problems mean you will have planned power outages & this can affect your internet too - but Think Coffee in town has coffee & food during loadshedding - they are great if you need to get work done or head up to Kalk Bay in 25 minute Uber ride. A good cellular service will ensure you stay connected if need be.
Gillian is very accommodating & understands what visitors to Simons Town need!
