By the way, Mandy who oversees the property, would be a blessing to any hospitality property! Wonderful person. ##### ROBIN Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrisa Dec 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Katrisa Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra Nov 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 ! ##### Sandra Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This beautifuly presented Guesthouse is perfectly situated by the mountains overlooking the beautiful SimonsTown harbour and False Bay. With free parking I was greeted at the property by the lovely manager and staff memebers who are so friendly, never stopped smiling and couldn't do enough for me. I was lucky enough to stay in Room 2, stunning presented with a 4 poster bed and balcony. The views are incredible, especially for sunrise! The all inclusive breakfast caters for all and is served in the dining and lounge area again with stunning views over the town. During my stay upon recommendation from the Manager, i visited Boulders beach to see the penguins, some museums and the lighthouse cafe for lucnh to name a few. For me this was the perfect setting for my short stay in SimonsTown and will be the first place I look to book upon returning to this wonderful part of South Africa. Thank you so much for looking after me for my visit. Its somewhere i look back very fondly on for my holiday in South Africa 2025\. The best wishes for the future.

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. ##### Nico Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas Mar 10, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super Meeblick von meinem Zimmer, kleine Loggia, Klimaanlage Sehr sauber ##### Andreas Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Birthe Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wir sind 3 Personen aus einem Reisebüro und sind dankbar im Nariner Guesthouse gewesen zu sein!

My only thing is was my room. There were a bunch of ants crawling on the floor near my bed. It made me feel that cleaning didn’t do a good enough job. When I told the staff they were eager to clean it up. ##### Lakana Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### JuleZ Jan 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is on a very steep hill, with treacherous steps, which was unexpected. Quite a walk to local places, but UBER works well, even over New Year. Laid back and quiet place, with a beautiful Garden Apartment, where we stayed for three nights. Friendly and helpful staff. Honesty bar. We did not eat here so cannot review food, but an evening meal requires 24-hours notice, and the property only takes RAND CASH. ##### JuleZ Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is wonderful.
