    Quite magnificent

    The pictures on the website do NOT do justice to your piece of paradise. It is quite magnificent‼️ It was a full house for us!

    Your fabulous accommodation enabled us to have the weekend we were looking for. The resources are just perfect. The miserable weather never had the vaguest impact on the success of the 70th celebration.

    Perfect Winter Weekend at Boulders Beach Villa

    We had a wonderful weekend at Boulders Beach Villa. Felicia made everything so easy with her quick and friendly responses. The villa was perfect for a braai, and since we were there in winter, we loved keeping cozy by the indoor fireplaces with the large stack of wood provided. The view from upstairs was absolutely stunning, and we slept comfortably with the cozy bedding. We also appreciated the lovely basket of goodies and beers that welcomed us. We’re already excited about our next stay. Plus, the penguins are just around the corner!

    Most incredible stay

    I recently had the most incredible stay at this beach villa situated on Boulders Beach in Simonstown Cape Town, and it exceeded all expectations.

    The 5-star accommodation provided top-notch comfort, and the villa was equipped with all the amenities one could dream of. What made it truly special was the surprise visit from penguins right at our doorstep, adding a unique touch to the experience. The breathtaking views of the False Bay Coast completed the picture-perfect setting.
