Spacious 4 Bedroom Holiday Self Catering Home Simonstown:
Self-Catering Simonstown: Where False Bay Meets Your Doorstep
Few places in Cape Town stop you the way Simonstown does. The mountain drops into the sea, the Main Road is lined with Victorian facades, penguins waddle through gardens, and on a clear winter morning, whales breach in the bay below. It’s the kind of place you plan to visit for a weekend and stay for a week.
This four-bedroom self-catering home captures everything that makes Simonstown special — panoramic False Bay views, a private Mediterranean-style courtyard with an olive tree, and a location that puts you 90 metres from a secluded beach and a short stroll from Boulders Penguin Colony. African penguins have been known to nest in the garden itself.
The Home
Arranged across a main house and an adjacent cottage — ideal for two couples, a multi-generational family, or a group wanting space and privacy — the property sleeps 8 across four bedrooms:
- King bedroom (main house)
- Queen bedroom (main house)
- Two twin bedrooms (cottage)
- 4 bathrooms across both buildings
Three separate lounges give the group room to spread out. A high-end kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooking. The games room has a table tennis table, two bicycles, and snorkelling gear — because the reef is right there.
Outside, the courtyard and braai area look directly over False Bay toward the Hottentots Holland mountains. On a still evening, with the light fading over the water, it earns its reputation as one of the finest views on the Peninsula.
Why Simonstown
Simonstown is the anchor of Cape Town’s South Peninsula — historic, unhurried, and positioned perfectly for exploring everything below the mountain.
From this home, you can:
- Walk to Boulders Beach and spend the morning with the penguin colony
- Drive to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope in 20 minutes
- Kayak or snorkel directly off the rocks
- Whale-watch from the veranda (June–November, humpback and southern right whales)
- Cycle or walk the coastal path toward Glencairn and Fish Hoek
- Eat at Bertha’s or the Quayside Café on the Simon’s Town waterfront
- Reach Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, and Constantia wine estates within 30 minutes
