We hesitated about booking this property because of Neil's negative review (March 2016). Thank goodness we took the plunge. We all (8 at one stage) absolutely loved it. The original part of the house is Victorian so over 100 years old. The owner acquired it 4 years ago and is obviously restoring it bit by bit. But it is hugely comfortable with a large sitting room, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. There are now more glasses and bowls, and just about everything one could need, good washing and dishwashing machines, microwave, braai etc.. The wifi worked but internet connection was sporadic or non-existent (probably a provider issue), so we used our own data bundles. A record player and a collection of vinyl records added to the seaside holiday atmosphere! The house's location could not be better. The centre of Simon's Town is a short walk one way, and the beaches - perfect for toddlers and kids - and penquins a short walk in the other. We would definitely return if we can one day.
