Arnold Smith & Family
15 On Penguin can offer 3 luxurious suites, two family rooms & a private honey moon suite. It is spacious & have excellent views of False Bay & Simon's Town Naval Base. We want all our guests to feel welcome and think of 15 On Penguin as their "home away from home". Our private garden is well maintained & can provide an ideal setting for an early morning breakfast or for a relaxing sundowner.
My wife and I are a happily married couple with strong Christian values. The guesthouse is more than just a business to us, we take pride in our establishment & client satisfaction is our number one concern. We encourage our staff to go the extra mile to ensure our guests' expectations are met & exceeded.
15 On Penguin is ideally located, close enough to local amenities & attractions, yet far away to avoid the hustle & bustle of our town. We have great views of both the ocean & mountains offering spectacular sunrise scenes. Our location allows us to have privacy from the neighbours while still having a sense of security.
