The property is spacious, clean and gorgeous 😍 The location is absolutely breath taking! We arrived to a heated room which was much appreciated as it was a cold winter’s day with rainy weather. The extra blankets available in the cupboard came in handy. The kitchen had everything we needed and the host, John, is extremely friendly and helpful!
It would have been nice to have the fire going in the fireplace but John explained that the gas store for the fire was closed as it was a public holiday. There are round fittings on the bedroom and bathroom ceilings. We inspected the one on the bedroom ceiling and it had a red light which made us a bit suspicious that there could be cameras but I hope it was just our paranoia from watching too many horror movies 🙈

View was amazing.
Its just a bedroom in a house, I expected more of a hotel vibe.

Perfect location, really nice host. We could see the whales from our bedroom jumping. I will never forget the view. The room is gigantic with 3 bathrooms.
To be honest, It's a bit old fashioned but in a good way. You could feel the wind bashing on the building. The beds are not very long (I'm 2M). I had to sleep diagonal. But I will sleep on the floor to have that view and a chance to spot the Southern right whale again.

The location is perfect and easy to find, which is near to Penguins Boulder and Good Hope Cape, we made our trip these two days and really enjoyed staying in John’s accommodation. John and his staff are welcoming and warm, I like the breakfast he prepared for us, making our stay much more like at home. And the solar system in house is convenient, you can regardless of load shedding and enjoy your stay. Wi-Fi is was strong. The view is so amazing, even in cloudy days. But I’m pretty sure we should come again in clean, sunny days if have another vocation to SA.
Nothing at all. The rooms are cozy and large, fully equipped, which you can get anything you want (before you request). I have to say John tried his best to serve a perfect place for tourists. Thank you John!

really loved the stay in Penguin den.. it’s like a healing stay for me, with tranquil peaceful environment and people, I really literally fell in love with this cozy house. the view from the royal suite was superbly beautiful, every morning I woke up with awe of sunrise, pink clouds, playful birds around the hill, and in the evening I saw the Milky Way in the sky. my heart was filled with love and happiness, just seeing and staying in the room alone. It was like a heaven… I think Penguin den is a place for being productive, reflective, recovering for anyone who wants have time for themselves. John is super lovely kind guy, I even met Stefano, these guys make the place more special. I really appreciate to their kindness and treat me like a friend, I had hard time during my trip in Cape Town and they mentally saved me a lot. thank you John & Stefano.

Space for family to eat together. Host very helpful , shared his heater when gas ran out of fireplace
That bottom apartment was rented out the same time as ours ~… same entrance and our upstairs apartment was open to the entrance stairwell … had to smell their fish dinner🤨 Under beds , behind curtains needed a clean - outside bbq area needed a tidy and upgrade too

The view, the amount of space, and the bathrooms. The proximity to the parks at the Cape of Good Hope was also a big selling point! Simon's Town is close by and has good restaurants. Boulder Beach, with its colony of penguins, is minutes away.
I don't see this as a negative, but others might. The site is designed to be rented in multiple different configurations. -Some- configurations have one sharing common spaces (kitchen, living room, and a bathroom) with other guests, Read carefully and make sure you are aware of what you are getting. When in doubt, contact them and ask questions. They are super friendly and accommodating!

The guest house has the most beautiful views of the ocean from the bedroom as well as the sitting and dining room. Beautiful mountain views from the kitchen. The facilities are top notch and the hot tub(jacuzzi) is a bonus. Our host John was very friendly and helpful and catered to our every need. Thank you for a very memorable stay.

Wonderful place with stunning views from the room and balcony (Royal Suite). Comunal area with big kitchen and Lounge/table as well as another big balcony you share with the other room. John is a great host. Near to the Penguins (by car is advisable, about 5 Min. drive). Place to recommend whenever you go to Simon's Town :-).

The view was amazing. The stay very relaxing. John was an exceptional host. The hot tub was great.
Nothing not to like. Suggestion: The decor and paintwork is a bit dated. It would be nice to have glass panels instead of a wall on the balcony (even just the end section) so you can see the view when seated.
