The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking—perfect for morning coffee or a sunset wind-down. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and recharge. One of the best parts? It's just a short walk to the famous penguin beach! Waking up and strolling over to watch the penguins in their natural habitat was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend this guesthouse for anyone visiting the area! ##### Jason Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Line Marie Feb 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location!!

The balcony with the braai was a great spot for drinks and dinner. Kitchen area was well equipped and the hostess very attentive to our needs, making for a relaxing stay e.g. informed us of expected load shedding and provided a gas ring for use if necessary. Didn't actually use the pool but it looked lovely and the grounds were very well kept. An immaculate property, highly recommended. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua Mar 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property in a beautiful location.

The views, the comfort, the amenities and so on were just 1st class. The Guesthouse provided such comfortable towels, beach towels, tons of pillows and wonderful bedlinen.

There is no lift to the property which might be an issue for an older or weaker peron but I am sure they would have helped and there is an asistant always around if you needed ##### Darrell Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Moira Oct 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely apartment a stones Throw from The penguins ##### Moira Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### mary Mar 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect place to stay to see penguins at Boulders National Park.
