This was my third stay at the Mariner's Guesthouse, and I would not stay anywhere else. The accommodations are top shelf, the staff is more than helpful and quite gregarious. They attend to every need with exceptional service and kindness. Not one complaint! By the way, Mandy who oversees the property, would be a blessing to any hospitality property! Wonderful person.

Wonderful staff and great views at this charming little place. Excellent breakfast, and well positioned for those who enjoy a good walk to get either to town (with dining/shopping options) or the Boulders penguin colony. If you're driving, there is a rather steep ascent to get to the parking area, and if you have mobility issues, be aware that there are lots of stairs within the property. All in all, very welcoming, though! Hospitality was top notch and our little one adored the staff.

We enjoyed our time here and liked the property and the staff at the guesthouse, Mandy especially looked after us very well, the guesthouse is walking distance to boulders beach and Simons town centre, which suited us as we didn’t have a car. A local car company booked for us, over-charged us for our onward journey, this was very annoying … be careful !

Superb Value with bonusses!
Very comfortable with attentive service and brilliant view over the harbour and bay. Nice bonus to have a balcony with a view as well. Parking was conveniently on-site and even though on the street, it never felt unsafe. Breakfast was great - never oily and very tasteful, the home-baked muffins superb. Both the manageress and the hard-working chef/waiter/duty manager/cleaner are worth a mention. He seems to be an extraordinary asset to the establishment and I'm embarrassed that I now cannot remember his name. A clean and superb property.

Great service, facilities & views. Loved my stay!
I loved my stay! Wish it was longer. Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and comfortable room. Good quality bed - loved the decor (light and fresh, not too cluttered). My room had an air-conditioner, but it wasn't hot, so I didn't end up using it. Beautiful view of the harbour and close to Boulders beach and penguins.
