Spectacular view of the bay from this well-appointed guest house. Large well-equipped rooms, a beautiful property. However, many stairs are required to reach the place, and some people may have difficulty toting their bags up and down the stairs. The host cannot be relied upon to help.

Fantastic- look forward to the next visit

Fantastic stay. The hosts are wonderfully welcoming. The breakfast is very nice. The room was exceptionally comfortable and clean. The view is the BEST in the area. Internet speeds are horrible in the entire area (use your cell signal), so don't let anyone count that against any particular guesthouse. Take their recommendations for dinner spots. The two places they sent me were both amazing.

Excellent stay!

We didn't know what to expect, but finally found it after our gps took us a little astray. Very we'll kept lodge in a good neighborhood . Seemed very safe and there was garage parking to boot. Excellent ocean views. The owner was very nice and very helpful in finding accommodations for the next night in the cape. I would stay there again, and definitely recommend it!

Another excellent stay at Moonglow!

We had stayed here before some years ago and had no hesitation in returning. Warm hospitality in a beautiful home with stunning views. Moonglow is perfectly placed for Boulders Beach & Cape Point drives.

Gezellig guest house op een prima plek voor onze reis door Zuid Afrika. Een prachtig uitzicht op de oceaan. Lieve gastvrouw die een prima en uitgebreid ontbijt verzorgt. Een vergeten shirt op de terugweg opgehaald en die had ze voor ons gewassen. Leuk restaurant op loopafstand.

Comfortabele kamer met panoramisch uitzicht

De toegang is goed aangeduid en loopt via steile, smalle straatjes. Iedereen was uiterst vriendelijk. Nette, goed ingerichte kamer, met een uitstekend bed. Het uitzicht op de baai is prachtig. We konden parkeren in een afgesloten garage, maar op straat parkeren was ook geen probleem. Veilige omgeving. De gastvrouw adviseerde om het diner bij het nabijgelegen Dixies restaurant te nemen en dat was een uitstekende tip. Ook het lekkere ontbijt met zicht op zee beviel ons erg.

Room with a marvelous view

The guesthouse was situated high up in the hill, so we had an excellent view to the bay from our balcony. Perfect spot for sunrise. Rooms were clean and nicely furnished. Wi-fi was fast. Breakfast had a good variety of everything and kept you going on until lunch. The location was perfect for exploring surroundings. Perfect stay with friendly hosts!

Between sea and mountain

I wanted to avoid Cape Towns traffic and be closer to nature. Glencairn is well situated at False bay, close to Cape Town, but quiet and much nearer to Cape of Good Hope NP. Kind host, made sure all was pleasant and easy.
