What people say

We loved our stay in the upper deck at the Boathouse. The room was spacious, well designed and very comfortable. We had an amazing view over the bay from our private balcony and all of the amenities that we needed (kettle, fridge etc). The best thing of all was the owners, Therese and Lud, who were incredibly friendly, helpful and interesting. The breakfasts were amazing and included home-made muffins, which were delicious, and if you couldn't fit them in after a very tasty cooked breakfast.
all reviews » The owners were lovely and helpful, couldn't do enough - (fresh choc muffins in room each day). Accommodation was great, we stayed in family "apartment" which was ideal space. Loved the games room and swimming pool (but would be even better in summer!). Ideal base to visit both city (capetown) and coast (sharks, whales, cape point). Would love to come back for longer!. everything about boat house,its my first time to sleep in such A caring place the director of the boat house,its really A business woman she knows how to treat clients,very nice,so understanding,so caring,the staff so very nice,caring ladies,nice breakfast,I recommend boat house to all who wants to visit simon`S town,A home is boat house. The owners made you feel you've been friends forever! Knew everything about the area and were very helpful. The house was immaculate in an open nautical theme with an attention to detail. We would definitely return and stay there as a base for all of Cape Town areas. Can't say enough about them. The house, the room and of course the view was so impressive. Therese and his husband was so kind, so helpful! We enjoy our journey in South-Africa very much, it is a wonderful country, and the time we spent in Simon's Town, in this guesthouse was the perfect finale of our journey. We loved the interior decor, outstanding view, very very awesome hospitality and the bottle of wine and sherry in the stunningly appointed room. We were totally amazed by the scrumptious choice of breakfast options. The owner was friendly and helpful. Therese and Ludwig and their staff are great. A Boat House has a spectacular view with very clean, comfortable accommodations. It is decorated beautifully. The breakfast served was tremendous. I can't recommend A Boat House highly enough. very friendly hosts, super clean and neat and very nice; location was great, with wonderful views; value for money was tops; food was gourmet and excellent. will gladly encourage our friends and family to stay in this family owned business. We've had a lot of great hosts in South Africa, but the ones at Boat House were probably the best. Even the housekeeping staff is super-friendly. The lower cabin room (for families, but we're just 2) is a tremendous value for money. Delightful, luxurious guest house. Fantastic views from the balcony. Beautifully presented breakfast and superb hospitality. Wonderful friendly owners. When we return we will definitely stay here again!. Great view, lovely rooms, fab balcony, excellent breakfasts, real attention to detail - great little touches in both the rooms and the breakfasts that made things special, lovely hosts.

View Good breakfast Friendly. The views are so calming. Everything. excellent. nothing. Too far away from North America!. Nothing. not one thing. Liked everything. None, although wifi signal could be a bit strenger in the rooms. Absolutely no complaints. Would have liked a box of tissues in the room. Some windows in the bedroom didn't close well and the wind kept coming in. The swimming pool was announced at letsbookhotel.com as heated but it was not - the water was cold!. Wifi didn't work in our room. nothink everthink is perfect. Can't think of anything. Nothing. Slightly tricky to find even with a Sat Nav which did not know that half of the street the accommodation is in. This is not the hotelliers fault and they were most willing to come and fetch. The water in the swimming pool should be a little bit warmer. not a lot. having to leave. Leaving. can't think of any. I'm allergic to cats and didn't know that a cat had been allowed in the rooms. I had some slight reactions to it. Nothing. Leaving.
