Amazing stay! I can’t say enough positive things about Tintswalo Boulders. The location is great for seeing the penguins on boulder beach with the hotel having its own entrance to the boardwalk leading to the park. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the most hospitable experience we had all trip and everyone was great! Would highly recommend the complimentary breakfast and staying for a 3 course dinner. Highly recommend!

This hotel was everything and more of what we expected. From the moment you arrived they made us feel especial. The hotel is in the perfect spot, right on Boulders Beach where the penguins are. The hotel facilities are superb and the staff is exceptional. The staff goes well beyond to make sure you get what you need. Breakfast and dinner were very good. Will go back to Tintswallow in a heartbeat. Our room facing the beach and magnificent views and sunrise to enjoy. This hotel is a deleite to stay in. Felt that we got more than what we paid for and that’s not usually common.

Warm and memorable stay

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and would really recommend it. The staff, especially Vicky, are warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond with making our stay memorable. My friend had an excellent spa experience and they were very accommodating. Vicky was able to make a special restaurant reservation for us at the last minute which was wonderful. The hotel feels like a guesthouse and the view of the sea and the penguins are incredible. We look forward to coming back.

I attended Mining INDABA 2025, and due to not booking my accommodation on time, I ended up staying in Simon's Town, which is an hr drive from the Conference Centre. Tinswalo is located in a quiet and predominantly white suburb of Cape Town. It offers breathtaking views, and the place is superb. I highly recommend it for couples going on holiday, honeymoon etc. Every day, while eating breakfast, I would overlook the penguins on the shores of the ocean. The staff were helpful and professional. I will definitely return with my wife.... Being a foodie person. i enjoyed every meal. talk of the Rooms clean and everything was flawless.....

A magical place

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! This was the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. We stayed in the Mayflower Suite, and it was simply glorious—extremely spacious and luxurious. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels, and this one has climbed straight to the top! The staff? Five-star service all the way. I’m at a loss for words—just wow. Do yourself a favor and experience it for yourself! Oh, and by the way, you get a private entrance leading directly to the penguins… an unforgettable touch!

Tintswalo Boulders is an excellent choice if you want to discover the wonders of the African Pinguin population near Boulders Beach. Our suite room was huge, tastefully decorated and squeaky clean. The breakfast choice is impeccable, the staff is extremely friendly and polite. Is has become rare to see a hotel/ guest house of this superb standard, led with enthusiasm, taste for beauty and respecting highest service standards. Small recommendation: to provide laundry bags in the cupboards and to make the bathroom door close without effort.

Perfect views of boulders beach

Beautiful B&B right on boulders beach with unobstructed views of the water! The best part of this B&B was the location. Would recommend staying 1 night to wake up early the following day and see the penguins. The staff are very friendly and helpful and property itself is very large and nicely styled.
