Sea View
I had a great experience staying at Simon's Town Guest House. The building is only a few years old and everything is well maintained and clean. There is even a fully stocked mini bar at reasonable prices. The view from my room was breathtaking. The manager Susie was very friendly and extremely helpful in providing advice on things to do and restaurant recommendations. The breakfast she made was superb! The town closes up early so be aware of limited food options at night.

1-Night at Simon's Town Guest House
Simon's Town Guest House is a very nice privately owned bed & breakfast situated on a mountainside overlooking False Bay. We were there only 1 night, but had a wonderful stay. Since it was low season, they were nice enough to offer us to a room with a better view of the water. The best part part of the stay was the full, hot breakfast they served in the morning; anyone could have found something they liked from this spread. The only drawback was their distance from dining and shopping options. If we were stayIng for a longer period of time that may have gotten frustrating, but it was a perfect for a quiet night of rest and relaxation.
