Simon's Town Quayside Hotel
Set directly on the water's edge of the Simon's Town yacht basin, Quayside Hotel puts False Bay views and the Boulders Beach penguin colony within easy walking distance.
Location
The hotel sits directly on the Simon's Town yacht basin, with balcony rooms looking out over the harbour, moored yachts and naval vessels, and the Simon's Kloof mountains behind. Boulders Beach's penguin colony is an easy walk away, making this one of the more convenient bases for a penguin-focused visit without driving back to the city.
Style
A nautically themed, mid-range hotel rather than a luxury property, with a genuine harbourfront position that's hard to match elsewhere in Simon's Town. Rooms are comfortable and straightforward rather than design-led.
Who it suits
A strong option for travellers who want to spend real time around Boulders Beach and the Cape Peninsula without a long return drive to the City Bowl each evening, or who simply want a quieter, harbourside base for a night or two.
