Had a nicely kept and recently spruced up room all to ourselves, that also came with a shared terrace and a stunning view - what a bonus! The location was unbeatable, just a kilometer away from Boulders Beach, 🏖️.

The whole experience was lovely, we recommend this guesthouse. We stayed for 8 nights and really enjoyed our stay.- Heather made everything comfortable for all of us.- It was located in a relaxing area close to Cape of Good Hope.- Not to mention the proximity to Foxy Beach, which was just a 10-minute walk away.

We had an exceptional stay at this guesthouse by the ocean. The location was perfect, with the Penguins' beach just down the hill and Boulders beach nearby. The room was bright and airy, with a comfortable bed and stunning views of whales, penguins, and seals. The owners were incredibly accommodating, even providing a spare socket adapter. We also appreciated the tea and coffee facilities in the room. a fantastic experience.
The noise from the road in the early morning was a bit disturbing.

Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable, with excellent views of the ocean and Boulders Beach. The proximity to Boulders beach allowed us to easily walk and swim with the penguins. The host's kindness in allowing us to stay an extra half a day was greatly appreciated. We also loved the nearby cafes, the special walkway with nesting penguins, and the presence of hyraxes. The fridge in the breakfast area was a convenient feature, and the no-contact check-in and check-out process was quick and easy.
We highly recommend this hotel.

The view from our room was stunning and definitely the highlight of our stay. Being able to see the beach and the ocean was absolutely breathtaking. the room was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking, including a BBQ and all the necessary tools.
One aspect that we didn't enjoy was the strong smell coming from the bathroom. We couldn't quite determine if it was the cleaning products or the water, but it was a bit overpowering.

Beautiful view, big comfy bed, early check-in accommodated, special flower request fulfilled, milk for tea/coffee. First floor room with shared terrace, private pool nearby. Close to Windmill Beach and Burghers Walk for penguins. Walking distance to town, restaurant with nice view nearby. No breakfast at hotel.

The Honeymoon Suite at Penguins View had an amazing 180-degree seaview of Boulders Beach. It was the perfect location for couples, with a short walk to see the penguins and a short drive into town. the balcony was a great spot to relax and enjoy a bottle of wine, especially if the weather allows.
Felt right at home at Penguins View Guesthouse, no reason to complain.
