Penguins and Pinotage!

This house was a wonderful find. Equipped with everything you’d need for a short or medium stay. It was quiet, clean, and conveniently located to all the southern coast has to offer. Our property manager, Janine, was informative, responsive, friendly, and always helpful. Highly recommend this rental property.For those not familiar with it, Simon’s Town is a great little seaside town outside of Capetown - accessible to all the area attractions including the African penguin colony (must see) and the nearby Constanta vineyards and wineries. Really recommend this location to those seeking to avoid the larger urban setting of Capetown.

Nothing bad at all to say about this house! We met Janene, the property manager, upon arriving at Mermaid Rock Cottage. She provided fruit for our stay, and showed us around the cottage, which is lovely. The views of False Bay are simply out of this world! Would stay again!

Positively Charming Holiday Stay

My husband and I spent 4 lovely nights in this charming cottage overlooking False Bay, in Simon’s Town, Cape Town, South Africa. It had everything we needed and the local manager who checked us in was fantastic and provided lots of recommendations for places to go, sites to see, and where to eat. We enjoyed walking down to the beach to see penguins and other wildlife. We were even once greeted by a baboon calling out from the top of a house nearby. The view is breathtaking! You can see the sunrise over the bay in the morning as you drink your coffee on the portico or from the seating area inside. The owner has numerous potted plants as well as grape vines adorning the entrance way and outdoor seating areas. There is a beautiful mosaic mermaid mural which represents the naming of the cottage. Communication before and during the stay was with both the owner and the manager was excellent. We would love to stay here again in the future. A few days here left us wanting more.

Great location and property

We had a lovely stay. The property is very nice, great location close to penguins and easy drive to other attractions, and has great views. The listing could be clearer that there is a cash deposit and early arrival/departure fee. Not a problem, but that only became clear later when we signed the contract.

Dream place to stay

Very quiet neighborhood. Walking distance from the beach (Boulders and others), sea side restaurants and downtown Simon's Town shopping and dining. Excellent manager, very responsive via WhatsApp. The only downside is the distance from downtown Cape Town but we didn't mind the ride with such wonderful views. Overall, great experience. Would come again! Kudos to Jen. ❤️

Simply cannot fault anything - from the time of booking until checkout. Excellent service including, updates on load shedding schedules and alternative lighting and cooking options, sharing of local knowledge and responsive contact throughout our stay. Will most certainly place this property at the top of our return holiday accommodation options in the Western Cape. Thank you for delivering as advertised and adding to making this a memorable break.

Excellent location and amazing property manager

The checkin process is unlike anything I have ever experienced, but I totally get it now. The house needs to be secured from baboons so there is a process that needs to be explained in person. It’s not hard, just too much to explain in text. Jenni the property manager is an absolute delight. The location of the property couldn’t be any better. It’s walkable to boulders beach. The porch/patio is gorgeous, sadly it was too cold to really get to enjoy it for our stay but in warmer months it’s perfect for sunrise or moonrise (not facing the right direction for sunset, but still gorgeous). The property is older so it doesn’t have a lot of outlets in convenient places and the sinks are the old school double faucet, but it’s very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
