Heerlik gebly, op die pikkewyne se voorstoep.

Was 'n pragtige, skoon kamer. Klein, maar ek kon regkom. Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Wonderlike ligging.

Lekker uitspan en rus en tog ook naby genoeg aan al die ander besienswaardighede.

Baie skoon kamer en baie vriendelike personeel. Geen geraas na 20h00 van ander gaste of besoekers nie. Mooiste see aansig en pikkewyne wat elke aand kom groet in parkeer area. Werklik die moeite werd.

A lovely space to stay, close to Boulders, safe and plenty of parking.

The location is excellent. The rooms are very close together, and it gets a bit noisy outside. The bath is awkward; it should be replaced with a shower, which is sufficient. I had some WiFi connection problems to get onto my laptop. The duvet is too hot for summer; a single sheet plus a fleecy blanket would have been enough. Otherwise, friendly and helpful staff.

Baie mooi ligging.

Die foto, bring jou onder die indruk, jy het 'n see-uitsig. Ek is van mening dat geen kamer 'n see-uitsig het nie. Daar is geen lugverkoeling nie. Met geen veiligheidsverweer voor die vensters nie, kan jy nie met oop venster slaap nie. Dit was 'n baie warm tyd toe ons die hotel besoek het. Die ligging is van die beste in die wêreld.

Very nice location.

The photo gives you the impression you have a sea view. I believe that no room has a sea view. There is no air cooling. With no safety defenses in front of the windows, you cannot sleep with the window open. It was a very hot time when we visited the hotel. The location is one of the best in the world.

Lekker, mooi, maar sal nie weer in die tyd van die jaar nie.

Ons het lekker gebly, goed geslaap en die ligging is uitstekend. Sou net bietjie meer bergruimte vir ons klere wou gehad het. Twee groot negatiewe was die parkering, daar is nie baie parkering oor die algemeen nie, as jy gery het en jy kom terug is daar nie parkering nie, ons moes by die country club ons motor parkeer @ R50. Ons kon GLAD nie na die pikkewyne toe gaan nie, daar was die hele tyd rye op rye mense, sou darem baie graag wou gaan, ons het twee dae probeer ingaan, maar was nie moontlik nie, ons het gedink die hotel sou 'n tag of iets hê wat die hotelgangers voorkeur gee, dit is hoekom ons die hotel die eerste plek gekies het.

Nice, nice, but won't be again this time of year.

We had a great stay, slept well and the location is excellent. Would have liked a little more storage space for our clothes. Two big negatives were the parking, there is not a lot of parking in general, if you have driven and you come back there is no parking, we had to park our car at the country club @ R50. We couldn't go to the penguins AT ALL, there were rows upon rows of people all the time, would really like to go, we tried to go in for two days, but it wasn't possible, we thought the hotel would be a tag or have something that the hotel guests prefer, that's why we chose the hotel in the first place.

Was 'n besonderse ervaring. Ek het ongelooflik tuis gevoel. Met asemwegslaan-natuurskoon. En met personeel wat passievol is oor hulle werk en wat jou vakansie so besonders as moontlik maak. Hierdie is een vir die boeke. Simonstad het my hart gesteel.

Ek wil baie dankie sê vir die uitstekende personeel van Boulders Beach Hotel. Van die Kiosk, kombuis, skoonmaakdiens en ontvangs gee elkeen hulle uiterste beste om mens se verblyf gemaklik te maak en iets om vir altyd te onthou. Simonstad is 'n besonderse plek. En Boulders Beach Hotel is perfek geleë met, ongelooflike natuurskoon wat net 'n paar treë weg is. Was 'n ma en seun vakansie wat ons vir altyd sal onthou. Ek kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie. Is 'n absolute juweel.

I would like to say a big thank you to the excellent staff at Boulders Beach Hotel. From the Kiosk, kitchen, cleaning service and reception, everyone gives their utmost to make one's stay comfortable and something to remember forever. Simonstad is a special place. And Boulders Beach Hotel is perfectly located with incredible scenery just steps away. Was a mother and son holiday that we will remember forever. I can't wait to go back. Is an absolute gem.

I recommend they designate a certain area for smoking otherwise any vacant place or floor is being used which has an impact on non-smokers, especially when that smoke reaches the room of non-smokers.

Uitstekende ligging, loopafstand van Windmill Beach en op die drumpel van Boulders Beach, maar baie woelig met min privaatheid.

Boulders Beach Hotel is uitstekend geleë, loopafstand van Windmill Beach, op die drumpel van Boulders Beach en 'n paar minute se ry van ander pragtige strande en Simonstad-sentraal. Kamers is pragtig en die groot moderne stort is heerlik. Die skoonmaak en instandhouding word nie subtiel gedoen nie. Die bestuur verwag heelwaarskynlik dat gaste heeldag met besigtiging gaan besig wees omdat daar tydens die grootste gedeelte van die dag skoongemaak word. Kamers word nie een vir een skoongemaak nie en alle beddegoed, emmers, handdoeke, stofsuiers en asbliksakke met vullis in staan, lê en hang dan die hele binnehof vol en werkers rook, lawaai en luister na radio. Die enigste plek in my kamer waar ek foonopvangs gehad het was by my bankie en tafeltjie in die binnehof voor my kamerdeur, maar ek kon nie daar gaan sit nie, want dit was semi-permanent, (tydens dagligure) vol rommel en skoonmaakmiddels gepak. Daar was ook 'n verstopte riool wat se reuk by my venster ingewaai het, ten spyte van die hele dag se skoonmakery. Ek beveel aan om jou dae tydens verblyf by Boulders Beach Hotel vol te boek en eers teen laatmiddag terug te keer na die akkommodasie. Kamers in die binnehof se vensters kyk vas in mekaar so hou blindings toegetrek vir privaatheid.

Excellent location, walking distance to Windmill Beach and on the doorstep of Boulders Beach, but very bumpy with little privacy.

Boulders Beach Hotel is excellently located, walking distance from Windmill Beach, on the doorstep of Boulders Beach and a few minutes' drive from other beautiful beaches and Simonstown centre. Rooms are beautiful and the large modern shower is lovely. The cleaning and maintenance is not done subtly. The management most likely expects that guests will be busy with sightseeing all day because cleaning takes place during most of the day. Rooms are not cleaned one by one and all bedding, buckets, towels, vacuum cleaners and garbage bags with rubbish are standing, lying and hanging all over the courtyard and workers are smoking, making noise and listening to the radio. The only place in my room where I had phone reception was by my bench and small table in the courtyard in front of my room door, but I couldn't sit there because it was semi-permanent, (during daylight hours) packed full of rubbish and cleaning products. There was also a blocked drain that wafted its smell into my window, despite cleaning all day. I recommend booking your days while staying at Boulders Beach Hotel and not returning to the accommodation until late afternoon. Rooms in the courtyard windows face each other so keep blinds closed for privacy.

Die kuier was lekker rustig.

Die ligging is goed, redelik naby aan die tourist hub die enigste nadeel van die akkommodasie is die feit dat privaatheid dalk beter kon wees aangesien die hoofingang loop uit op die dek van die ontsvangs area.

Lovely location and historic building.

We were warmly greeted and received by the gentleman at reception. He also shared some contacts for a lift with us since Uber and Bolt are not available in the town. It was a pleasant overnight stop with easy access to the beach. The building and room we stayed in, is rich in history which does impact on some amenities. A TV would be great for the family rooms. Overall a pleasant experience. A later check-out option can also be considered.

Ons het net daar oornag, dit is baie skoon en netjies.

Vir net 'n oornag is dit reg. Ons het net 'n kamer bespreek, want ons het die volgende dag teruggevlieg. Skoon en netjies.

Lekker by die see, maar dubbelkamer is bietjie klein, ligging is mooi, maar dit is maar raserig en rumoerig in die binnehof. Prys is bietjie duur vir net slaapplek, maar andersins het ons dit baie geniet.

Comfortable and well located place.

On arrival there was a vagrant in the parking area that harassed us to help carry luggage and wash our car which was very uncomfortable. The manager should have chased him away as it is a problem for guests checking in to the establishment.

Ek het regtig meer verwag van 'n hotel wat in die toeriste deel van Simonstad geleë is.

Eerstens is die kamer heelwat kleiner as wat dit op die foto's lyk. Die matras op die bed is hol, so 'n mens se rug raak seer in die nag. Die seephouer in die badkamer was leeg en daar was geen stortjel of shampoo in die badkamer nie. Die een venster se knip is stukkend, so toe die wind in die nag waai, het die venster oop en toe geklap. Daar is ook geen TV in die kamer nie. Ek dink regtig Boulders Beach Hotel kan verbeter op hul diens.

I really expected more from a hotel located in the touristy part of Simonstad.

First of all, the room is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. The mattress on the bed is hollow, so one's back hurts at night. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty and there was no shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom. One window's shutter is broken, so when the wind blew at night, the window opened and closed. There is also no TV in the room. I really think Boulders Beach Hotel can improve on their service.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, die ligging van die plek is perfek vir die pikkewyn-ondervinding. Kan nie beter nie.

Die klank van mense buite die kamers trek erg in die kamers in, en het ons vroeg wakker gemaak omdat hulle besig was met herstelwerk aan die gebou. Dit is al wat ons gepla het, as hulle dalk die kamers op 'n stadium meer klankdig kan maak. Die plek was netjies gewees. Die ligging perfek en ons het die dag en aand daar vreeslik geniet. Lekker om in die aand buite op die stoep te sit en na die pikkewyne te luister en te kyk hoe hulle rond loop.

We had a great stay, the location of the place is perfect for the penguin experience. Couldn't be better.

The sound of people outside the rooms permeates the rooms badly, and woke us up early because they were doing repairs on the building. That's all that bothered us, if maybe they could make the rooms more soundproof at some point. The place was neat. The location is perfect and we really enjoyed the day and evening there. Nice to sit outside on the porch in the evening and listen to the penguins and watch them walk around.

We checked in late on Wednesday/ the room was as desired/ we used the cups the first night but there was no follow up the next day so then cups had not been removed or refilled.

Will be happy to book a room with a view in the future/ and would also appreciate if more information is given regarding the environment it is very isolated and if you are not from the Western Cape you come very unprepared to such a destination you don't even have a glass of water to enjoy throughout the night.

An amazing location with a beautiful view of the ocean.

Quiet and safe. Lovely walks on the board walk with the penguins and rock rabbits to amuse and keep one company. The curio shop and cafe downstairs attract many tourists and add to the tourist ambiance. The hotel was apparently built in the 1800's and therefore has historical importance.

Die Pikkewyne baie geniet, ligging is perfek vir besigtiging.

Ontvangs was maar styf en baie saaklik. Tuinrommel (baie ou blare, sonverbleikte ou 2 Minute Noodle papier, ens.) het buite in die hoek vasgewaai, duidelik dat dit vir 'n tydjie nie skoongemaak is nie, met die blare in verskillende stadiums van verdroging. Binne was skoon en netjies.

We made the best of it!

We were away for an anniversary weekend. If you plan to be busy during the day with sightseeing etc. and just sleep at the hotel, it will be fine. The noise level at the hotel during the day is loud and wouldn't say it is worth the money spent. Although a fantastic location, the photos and information on the website are outdated and misleading. They offered a more expensive room "with WiFi" which we declined, but when we got there we had WiFi in our booked room. Rooms are neat and clean, no room service so remember to take Sunlight to wash coffee cups. Staff is friendly, however, the hotel will do better under experienced management. We loved visiting Simon's Town, but will not stay here next time.

Moeilik om in die donker te vind.

Die adres op die webtuiste is verkeerd. Dit is Boulders Beach Resort. Verder was die inligting dat daar nie WiFi of TV is nie. Ek moes dus eers tuis my werk klaarmaak en kon eers 17:00 uit Durbanville vertrek. Teen die tyd wat ek in Simonstad aangekom het, was dit reeds donker. Die adres is ook verkeerd en die sein daar is baie swak, so my GPS kon nie die plek opspoor nie. Ek het meer as 'n uur lank op en af, vrou-alleen in die donker gesoek, die eienaar is opgespoor en het my toe gebel en verduidelik hoe om daar te kom. Ek was alreeds tweekeer by die plek, maar daar is geen naambord of aanduiding dat dit die regte plek was nie. Personeel was reeds weg, maar my kamer was gereed. Die eienares het aan my die WiFi wagwoord gestuur, so ek kon eintlik al 12:00 die middag ingeklok het en vandaar af gewerk het met die lieflike uitsig oor die see. Die kamer is gerieflik, maar daar was nie eers 'n melkie vir my oggendkoffie nie. Bogenoemde foute het aan my baie onnodige spanning veroorsaak.

I therefore had to finish my work at home first and could only leave Durbanville at 17:00. By the time I arrived in Simonstad, it was already dark. The address is also wrong and the signal there is very weak, so my GPS could not locate the place. I searched up and down, woman-alone in the dark for over an hour, the owner was located and then called me and explained how to get there. I have already been to the place twice, but there is no signage or indication that it was the right place. Staff had already left, but my room was ready. The owner sent me the WiFi password, so I could actually have clocked in at 12:00 in the afternoon and worked from there with the lovely view of the sea. The room is comfortable, but there wasn't even a milk for my morning coffee. The above mistakes caused me a lot of unnecessary stress.

Boulders Beach Hotel, Cafe and Curio 's response

Dankie vir U review,

Ek is jammer oor die verlore raak maar ons het h groot wit en swart teken wat se Boulders Beach, die address is reg, nie seker hoekom julle dit nie so gevind het nie. Daar is net 2 geboue op die straat en die ander een is n buiding site.

Ons het Wifi, maar daar is een , goedkoper kameer, wat dit nie in die kamer het, maar die res van die Hotel het Wifi.

Jammer oor die melk, maar ons kantoor is oop van 8am-17h so nie seker oor hoekom U nie die wifi of melk by ons kom haal het nie.

Ek hoop dat as jy weer kom ons vir jou n beter ervaaring kan gee.

My husband and I wanted a relaxed weekend away. However the restaurant was not open so we had to go out for all our meals. There were no facilities for self-catering.

The restaurants were not nearby so we had to drive out for all our meals. The accommodation was also overpriced at R800 per night with no meals included. There was also no TV in the room so when the weather did not permit going to the beach, there was nothing to do at the lodge. I would hope that meals will be served soon to justify the high cost for accommodation. Alternately the price has to be dropped.

Superb location, but sadly lacking accommodation.

I'm sadly very disappointed in my stay. Firstly, I couldn't get hold of the hotel for an entire hour telephonically to confirm my check in time. The room was nice enough, but from having stayed at many places before I think it was quite lacking. I only had one sachet of normal coffee, the WiFi didn't work in the area that my room was, no bottled water provided and my outside table had no chairs to sit on and enjoy the view. It's sad to say that I won't be staying here again, nor would I recommend it.

Ontvangs was heeltemal onbevoeg om kliënte te diens.

Skoonmaak van kamers was glad nie op standaard nie. Kamer was vuil met aankoms, vloer was nie skoon en badkamer het "hare" in bad en op vloer gehad. Orals in die hoeke van die vloere was stofwolle en vuilgoed. Gloeilamp op bedkassie was buite werking. Voordeur het waterskade en vertoon glad nie goed nie. Warm water in badkamer was twee aande koud, en twee keer was daar geen watervloei nie. Plaveisel in "courtyard" is vreeslik ongelyk en moeilik om op te loop, blote instandhouding sal dit gelyk hou. Mens struikel maklik op die stene. Trappe voor hotel se ligte was twee aande af, wat baie gevaarlik is. Nood nommer of na-ure nommer in die aand is nie beman nie.

Reception was completely incompetent to serve customers.

Cleaning of rooms was not up to standard at all. Room was dirty on arrival, floor was not clean and bathroom had "hair" in bath and on floor. Everywhere in the corners of the floors were dust wools and dirt. Light bulb on bedside table was out of order. Front door has water damage and does not show well at all. Hot water in bathroom was cold two nights, and twice there was no water flow. Paving in "courtyard" is terribly uneven and difficult to walk on, simple maintenance will keep it level. One easily stumbles on the bricks. Stairs in front of hotel lights were off two nights, which is very dangerous. Emergency number or after-hours number in the evening is not staffed.

Nie my keuse van verblyf nie.

Too overrated. Te veel betaal vir dit wat mens kry. Die plek kort beslis 'n ordentlike skoonmaak. Die een bedmatjie was opgerol aan die ander kant van die bed. Koffiemerke op die voetenent van die lakens. Geen TV. Die weer het ons nie toegelaat om uit te gaan nie. Nie 'n restaurant naby wat aandetes bedien nie.

Ons kon baie beter kry vir dit wat ons betaal het.

Ons was ongelukkig baie teleurgesteld. Geen TV, geen yskas, geen uitsig. Letterlik net 'n bed, 'n bad en 'n toilet. Ons het spesifiek toe ons uit ons baie opsies moes kies, eerder 'n plek gekies wat bietjie duurder was omdat ons net 3 dae bly wou ons bietjie beter hê, ons kon baie beter gekry het as ons elders geboek het vir die geld wat ons per nag betaal het. Die 4de aand het ons minder betaal in Bloubergstrand en in 'n pragtige plek met 'n uitsig, mooi dekor, 'n TV, moderne vol toegeruste kombuis en oornag. So ons was spyt oor ons keuse.

We could get much better for what we paid.

We were unfortunately very disappointed. No TV, no fridge, no view. Literally just a bed, a bath and a toilet. We specifically, when we had to choose from our many options, instead chose a place that was a little more expensive because we were only staying for 3 days we wanted a little better, we could have gotten a lot better if we had booked elsewhere for the money we paid per paid night. The 4th night we paid less in Bloubergstrand and in a beautiful place with a view, nice decor, a TV, modern fully equipped kitchen and overnight. So we regretted our choice.

Great stay, great people and convenient location.

I had a great stay at Boulders Beach Lodge and Restaurant. I was there alone as a student, so I had to walk everywhere. The lodge is located at an ideal place, close to the penguins and the places I had to go. The staff were always friendly, their food is amazing and the ambience is so relaxing. I would recommend a TV, but that is maybe because I was alone, and the TV would have been a great company at night. But other than that, I will stay there again. Thanks.

Kamer benodig opknapping, alles lyk oud en afgeleef, vir die prys verwag 'n mens iets beters. Enigste plus is die nabyheid van die pikkewynreservaat.

Disappointing.

Price and quality do not match. Although the location is good in terms of access to the beach, we were disappointed to find that our room(s) had been granted to someone else despite our reservation. We booked 2 separate rooms with a sea view, but were then assigned to a family room (without a view) where 2 adults had to sleep on cots. The price for the room is also less than what we paid for our reservation and yet we were never reimbursed for it. We also did not receive compensation or an apology for the inconvenience. Customer service in general was unsatisfactory, especially considering the cost. The unit was neat, but not completely clean and needs renovation and maintenance.

Wat 'n fantastiese plekkie om te oornag. Ons is met ope arms ontvang en het onmiddelik tuis gevoel. Die pikkewyne wat ons elke oggend môre en elke aand nag gesê het was beslis 'n eens-in-'n-leeftyd-ervaring. Ons kan met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel dat enige reisiger hier kan oornag.

Die akkommodasie is beslis van hoogstaande gehalte, veral die uitsig.

Ons het Saterdagmiddag (na uitkloktyd) aangekom, maar was vroeg ingelig dat ons kamer reg is. As dit by die restaurant kom, is dit 'n heel ander storie. Met ontbyt het ons amper 'n halfuur gewag vir ons koffie/tee en kinders se drankies. Dit het eers aangekom nadat ek moes kla. En die tyd wat dit geneem het om die ontbyt by die tafel te kry, ook nadat ek moes kla, was HEELTEMAL onaanvaarbaar. Eers nadat ek begin kla het, is ons ingelig dat my vrou nie die ontbyt kan kry wat sy bestel het nie aangesien hulle nie die muesli het om by te voeg nie. Die kinders kon ook nie wafels bestel nie.

The accommodation is definitely of high quality, especially the view.

We arrived on Saturday afternoon (after check-out time) but were informed early that our room was ready. When it comes to the restaurant, it's a whole different story. At breakfast we waited almost half an hour for our coffee/tea and children's drinks. It only arrived after I had to complain. And the time it took to get the breakfast to the table, even after I had to complain, was TOTALLY unacceptable. Only after I started to complain were we informed that my wife could not get the breakfast she ordered as they did not have the muesli to add. The kids couldn't order waffles either.

Sal graag die lodge wil aanbeveel aangesien ons verblyf aangenaam was ten spyte van 'n paar kwelpunte.

Sal graag wil sien dat die lodge opgeknap word en meer aandag gegee word aan algemene netheid en die tuin. Die pikkewyne wat saans voor jou deur kom slaap is baie oulik, maar die volgende oggend wanneer jy jou kamer wil verlaat is die nie meer so oulik nie! Die kos was redelik lekker gewees.

Netjies en skoon, maar het al beter gesien.

Die plek is baie netjies en skoon, maar ek het al in ander plekke wat soortgelyk is, gebly teen baie minder. Die houttrappe wat gelei het na my kamer is plek-plek los en daar is net 'n reëling aan eenkant. Indien 'n persoon sy balans sou verloor weens die los trap kan so 'n persoon ernstig seerkry, veral omdat die los trap redelik hoog is.

The place is very neat and clean, but I have stayed in other similar places for much less. The wooden stairs that led to my room are loose in places and there is only an arrangement on one side. If a person were to lose their balance due to the loose step, such a person could be seriously hurt, especially because the loose step is quite high.

Effe teleurstellend.

Al is hierdie lodge uitstekend geleë, tel dit tog eintlik ook teen dit. Dit is nou wel bitter naby aan die Boulders en die bekende pikkewyne, maar jy kan dit in elk geval nie sien vanaf die akkommodasie nie. Die probleem is egter die parkeer-situasie. Daar is nie parkering nie. Maar dit is nie hoofrede hoekom die lodge teleurstellend was nie. Ek het die aand van tevore in 'n gastehuis in Vishoek gebly waar ek presies dieselfde betaal het en die gehalte van die akkommodasie was 100 keer beter. Die piepklein kamertjie het bittermin privaatheid gebied, aangesien die gordyne amper deursigtig was en enige iemand van die straat af in my kamer sou kon insien. Daar was slegs vere kussings op die bed. Met soveel mense wat aan allergieë ly, kan ek nie glo dat daar in vandag se tyd nog akkommodasie is wat van vere kussings gebruik maak nie. Met die toemaak van die gordyn het die pleister van die muur afgeval. Die lamp op die bedkassie ('n staal struktuur met 'n kaal gloeilamp, geen lampskerm) het my geskok as ek daaraan raak. So ek het dit maar afgelos. Die lendelam kas in die kamer se deure het elke nou en dan vanself oopgemaak. Dit laat 'n mens nogal skrik. Ek dink hierdie lodge maak staat op hulle ligging vir besprekings en dink hulle hoef nie verder moeite te doen nie. Ek sal beslis nie weer hier bly nie en dit vir niemand aanbeveel nie.

A bit disappointing.

Although this lodge is excellently located, it actually counts against it. It is very close to the Boulders and the famous penguins, but you can't see them from the accommodation anyway. The problem, however, is the parking situation. There is no parking. But this is not the main reason why the lodge was disappointing. The night before I stayed in a guest house in Vishoek where I paid exactly the same and the quality of the accommodation was 100 times better. The tiny room offered very little privacy, as the curtains were almost transparent and anyone from the street would be able to see into my room. There were only feather pillows on the bed. With so many people suffering from allergies, I can't believe that in this day and age there are still accommodations that use feather pillows. When the curtain was closed, the plaster fell off the wall. The lamp on the bedside table (a steel structure with a bare bulb, no lampshade) shocked me when I touched it. So I just redeemed it. The loincloth closet in the room's doors opened every now and then by itself. It makes one quite startled. I think this lodge relies on their location for bookings and don't think they need to put in any further effort. I would definitely not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone.

Perfect spot

Staff were really disinterested during our stay, which was sad as everything else was lovely. Rooms on ground floor get to hear lots of penguin noise! They have a perfect location right on the beach. We found food to be overpriced and below average.
