Hoogs aanbeveel. Sal 100% teruggaan.

Heerlik gebly - kan dit hoogs aanbeveel. Ongelooflik goed ingerus, netjies en skoon. Alles het seepglad verloop, en Heather het fantastiese voorstel gemaak vir aandete by restaurant in Simonstad. Baie dankie ook vir die komplimentêre bottel wyn!

Loved it.

It was a lovely stay. The room is beautiful and there is a view over the ocean to one side and the mountains on the other. We watched the penguin hunting parties go out every morning. The windows are double glazed, making the unit quiet and peaceful.

A great and pleasant experience.

We enjoyed our stay, the place is clean, neat, quiet and secure. It is equipped with everything you'd need for self-catering. The hostess was very thoughtful and responsive throughout our stay. It is within walking distance from the beach, and a drive to restaurants is within five minutes.

Ons het 'n heerlike tyd gehad, die netjiese verblyf en mooi uitsigte was wonderlik.

Dis 'n pragtige plek met berg- en see-uitsigte. Ons het heerlik gebly in die ruim kamer!

Ek en my man het die Two Oceans gaan hardloop en by Penguins View gebly. Pragtig, skoon akkommodasie met die ideale ligging!

Die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel. Die huisie is só goed toegerus!

Amazing getaway with the most stunning views.

It's not often you find a place that offers even more than what you were expecting! We knew we were in for a good view, but there were so many additional little touches that made our stay even more lovely! The flat is absolutely spotless and so well equipped it has everything you could possibly need! My husband especially enjoyed the binoculars so we could get an even better view of the penguins! We will definitely be back!

It was just a quick sleepover!

The place was neat and clean, everything you need but we imagined the room much bigger and we feel it didn't justify the price.

Pragtige see-uitsig, ruim kamer met alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n langnaweek wegbreek.

Ons het die honeymoon-suite vir die week gehuur en was aangenaam verras deur die pragtige see-uitsig. Penguins guesthouse het uit hul pad gegaan om ons te akkommodeer in 'n onseker tyd. Ons moes eers ons naweek kanselleer a.g.v die onluste en Heather het nie omgegee om vir ons 'n ander datum vas te maak nie. Dit het veroorsaak dat ons 2 dae langer gebly het. Sal die plekkie verseker aanbeveel.

Beautiful sea view, spacious room with everything you need for a long weekend getaway.

We booked the honeymoon suite for a week and we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful sea view. Penguins Guesthouse went out of their way to accommodate us in these unsure times. We first had to cancel the weekend due to the unrest and Heather didn't mind fixing us up with a different date. It meant that we stayed longer than 2 days. Will definitely recommend this place.

Perfekte wegbreek!

Die eenheid is perfek vir 'n wegbreek! Net see en pikkewyne waar jy kyk. Die eenheid is ook toegerus met als wat jy nodig het in 'n selfsorg-eenheid. Heather laat jou baie welkom voel en is beskikbaar vir enige vrae. Sal Penguins View Guesthouse beslis aanbeveel!

Dit was besonders lekker om in Simonstad te kuier.

Ek was absoluut verstom oor die nature van Simonstad en die museum.

Asemrowende uitsig.

Baie vriendelik ontvang deur Heather. Baie behulpsaam! Ingeboek op die dag van ons huweliksherdenking. Toe ons terugkom van die dorp, was daar 'n bottel sjampanje vir ons in die yskas! Pragtigste plekkie met die mooiste see-uitsig! Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid!
