It was an amazing stay, I loved the cottage, the host, the location, the views, privacy and the swimming pool. It seems like this cottage is managed by a professional agency. I had the accommodation all to myself for 4 weeks and I was sad leaving it. I was really enjoying the private pool and sun loungers all to myself. This space is perfect for either a private or a family vacation. I was a solo traveller and for me it was very spacious. I love cooking and the kitchen was equipped very well for my needs and has a lot of counter space, big wooden table and a big fridge and freezer on a balcony/terrace for storage of large quantities of food. The shops are not very close and there are no Uber eats deliveries, but supermarkets deliver there within 24 hours which is perfect for cooking at home. There are of course some good restaurants near the beach, within 17-20 min walk from the cottage.
It does get windy in Simons Town (around 50 km/h during half of my stay) and sleeping in the master bedroom may be problematic due to the noise from the wind. Luckily the downstairs bedroom is quieter. There are several residential renovations noises from the nearby cottages during weekdays. On weekends its mostly quiet with no loud neighbours. I would definitely come back again.
