    It was an incredible view right over the penguins, the host was so friendly and they were so welcoming to our toddler too. One thing to note is that it is a good idea to bring groceries if you don’t have your own car as it’s a bit out of the town and no evening restaurants nearby. We went to a little convenience store which was walking distance for the first night then used the Tuk Tuks for the other nights which worked well.

    The place is very cosy with an exceptional view. The penguins are right in front of the property. Also the dogs are very friendly and welcoming, really enjoy playing with them. Hoping that who stay at this property will play with them.

    Cute cottage set in lovely gardens with perfect views of the bay and the penguins! The garden gate leads you to the boardwalk where you can see the penguins and rock hyrax right up next to the path before you even enter the national park area. The apartment is run by a lovely family who were extremely accommodating and drove me out to pick up some supplies as we arrived late and hadn't eaten. So kind of them. We'd love to return and stay longer if we get the chance.

    We loved our little studio looking over Boulders Beach so much that we ordered takeout because we didn’t want to leave our view! The owner was incredibly sweet. You can’t beat the walk down to the penguin beach.

    Great location, right next to Boulders Beach. There's a side gate on the property to access the boardwalk. You can literally see the Penguins from the garden. The hosts are great and very accommodating (we had a fairly late arrival). Kitchen had pretty much everything needed, and the hosts' 2 border collies are incredibly cute and entertaining.

    No a complaint but it would be good to bring your own grocery if you are staying for a few days as the nearest town is about 10 mts drive away.

    It was located near the Boulders Beach and the boardwalk can be accessed through a side-door and this is so convenient if you want to visit the penguin colony. The cottage was also perfect and quiet, I was even able to make my own breakfast as the place had all the needed amenities.

    The particular cottage we stayed in is quite tight in size for the cost per night.

    The location is unbeatable. The cottage is well equipped and staff are friendly and helpful. The dogs are adorable!

    It has a manual gate so you will need help opening and closing which is fine but not ideal for multiple entry/exit situations.

    Loved the location. Less than 100m down to the beach. You have to pay to access though so bring your ID card. It is worth it though, it keeps the place clean and protected with the penguins close by. We snorkelled with our boys and it was amazing, cold but amazing! The views are endless!

    There's 3 dogs and 2 cats on the property, so if you don't like animals, you probably will want to find somewhere else. The door to the cottage had a large gap at the bottom, so we found lots of bugs were coming in.

    This is a really special place to stay. The view of the beautiful bay is just stunning, you could just sit there and look at it all day long. Views of penguins right from your window, too! This is a great place to stay if you want to explore Cape Point Nature Reserve, plus the little towns along the way. We also did a whale watching tour and saw many humpbacks. There's also a lovely friendly orange cat that kept us company, which for us is a highlight as we were missing our cat from home :)
