We offer a standard of service that is exceptional and personal and look forward to making your stay an unforgettable one!

The 4-story house has with a double-volume lounge and fireplace, while the dining area has large picture windows and opens onto a protected veranda where guests can enjoy a hearty breakfast, consisting of a self-help Continental buffet and can order a hot breakfast from our a-la-carte menu. We offer different room types at different rates for different needs. All rooms have mini self-catering facilities with microwave ovens, bar fridges and tea/coffee making facilities. Our newly added Garden Apartment is ideal for longer stays and those preferring self-catering, and offers a private, enclosed garden which also makes it safe and secure for children and pets. Alternatively, our Family Unit with interleading door between our two Sail Rooms, is also a good option for families. Breakfast is added as an optional extra to these two units, depending on the number and ages of guests booked. We are happy to arrange lunches, dinners or picnic baskets or transfers and tours. Make sure to visit the African Penguin Colony at Boulders Beach, the Cape of Good Hope, go snorkeling or diving, book a kayak/water bike/boat trip or visit nearby vineyards. Let us know how we can assist. Looking forward to welcoming you to our beautiful Simon's Town: where nature and adventure meet!

Neighbourhood information

Ours is a safe and quiet neighbourhood on the mountainside above Simon's Town. Apart from various beaches down the road from us, there are many hiking trails, boat trips, snorkling/diving and other adventure sports in our area. From Mariner Guesthouse, you can take the garden steps and walk to quaint and unique interior, clothing and gift shops. Explore our museums, of which we can recommend the Toy Soldier and Navy Museum, go on a guided "historical ghost tour" (wooo) or enjoy lunch/dinner at one of the excellent coffee shops or restaurants in Simon's Town. If you don't feel like walking back up the hill after all this, let us arrange a transfer for you. ;)
