This house was a wonderful find. Equipped with everything youâd need for a short or medium stay. It was quiet, clean, and conveniently located to all the southern coast has to offer. Our property manager, Janine, was informative, responsive, friendly, and always helpful. Highly recommend this rental property.For those not familiar with it, Simonâs Town is a great little seaside town outside of Capetown - accessible to all the area attractions including the African penguin colony (must see) and the nearby Constanta vineyards and wineries. Really recommend this location to those seeking to avoid the larger urban setting of Capetown.
Gorgeous property, great views, close to restaurants and attractions! Hope to be back soon!! Host was attentive and communication was excellent. They coordinated a late arrival and it was seamless. Highly recommended this property!
The mermaid cottage was quaint and perfectly situated for sunrise views of False Bay with all the amenities we needed! Janene was on hand to make check in easy and answer all of our questions. We highly recommend the cottage and plan to come back!
Nothing bad at all to say about this house!
We met Janene, the property manager, upon arriving at Mermaid Rock Cottage. She provided fruit for our stay, and showed us around the cottage, which is lovely.
The views of False Bay are simply out of this world!
Would stay again!
Lovely place right near the heart of Simonâs Town. Good price and easy check-in/check-out. Lovely views of False Bay from the deck where we saw tons of breaching whales. Bring binoculars. No issues.
The house was just what we needed! Location was great. Short walk to the Boulders Beach and town. A le to view whales in the bay. Janene was very helpful and responsive.
My husband and I spent 4 lovely nights in this charming cottage overlooking False Bay, in Simonâs Town, Cape Town, South Africa. It had everything we needed and the local manager who checked us in was fantastic and provided lots of recommendations for places to go, sites to see, and where to eat. We enjoyed walking down to the beach to see penguins and other wildlife. We were even once greeted by a baboon calling out from the top of a house nearby. The view is breathtaking! You can see the sunrise over the bay in the morning as you drink your coffee on the portico or from the seating area inside. The owner has numerous potted plants as well as grape vines adorning the entrance way and outdoor seating areas. There is a beautiful mosaic mermaid mural which represents the naming of the cottage. Communication before and during the stay was with both the owner and the manager was excellent. We would love to stay here again in the future. A few days here left us wanting more.
We booked this house for the view and we really loved in. The street where the house is located is very calm, so every evening we feeled like we're the only ones out there. The barbecue ofcourse also made the outside place feel like home. The garden was maintained well. Inside the house we loved the space and the double bathroom. The contact with the host was really good.
Lovely location and felt quite safe in Simonâs town
Location was excellent for Boulder Beach and Cape of good hope
Would definitely recommend to family and friends
Het was in een woord TOP. Jenni was een super tussen persoon. Heel behulpzaam en zeer enthousiast vertekend over de omgeving. Het huis voldeed aan al onze wensen en had een prachtig uitzicht op de oceaan en heel dicht bij de pinguĂŻns
We had a lovely stay. The property is very nice, great location close to penguins and easy drive to other attractions, and has great views.
The listing could be clearer that there is a cash deposit and early arrival/departure fee. Not a problem, but that only became clear later when we signed the contract.
Overall was lovely we enjoyed the stay. Jen went above and beyond even had sweets and hot chocolate all setup for the kids.
Place is cold in winter maybe another heater would be great.
The house was clean and set up very well. Didn't need for anything. Jenni was amazing. Her recommendations for food was ON POINT!!! We lost wifi on day 2 and she tried her best to get it operational again.
Very quiet neighborhood. Walking distance from the beach (Boulders and others), sea side restaurants and downtown Simon's Town shopping and dining. Excellent manager, very responsive via WhatsApp. The only downside is the distance from downtown Cape Town but we didn't mind the ride with such wonderful views. Overall, great experience. Would come again! Kudos to Jen. â€ïž
This is a lovely cottage that has all the amenities you need. Checking in with Jenni was painless and she went over everything we needed to know. We loved that we could walk to Boulder Beach and to Simons Town. We had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Would highly recommend this property and hope to return someday.
We loved this place! It was bright, clean and a great location (but youâll need a rental car). Everything we needed and great communication with host/manager. Canât recommend highly enough!
Simply cannot fault anything - from the time of booking until checkout. Excellent service including, updates on load shedding schedules and alternative lighting and cooking options, sharing of local knowledge and responsive contact throughout our stay. Will most certainly place this property at the top of our return holiday accommodation options in the Western Cape. Thank you for delivering as advertised and adding to making this a memorable break.
The checkin process is unlike anything I have ever experienced, but I totally get it now. The house needs to be secured from baboons so there is a process that needs to be explained in person. Itâs not hard, just too much to explain in text. Jenni the property manager is an absolute delight. The location of the property couldnât be any better. Itâs walkable to boulders beach. The porch/patio is gorgeous, sadly it was too cold to really get to enjoy it for our stay but in warmer months itâs perfect for sunrise or moonrise (not facing the right direction for sunset, but still gorgeous). The property is older so it doesnât have a lot of outlets in convenient places and the sinks are the old school double faucet, but itâs very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Das Haus ist hell und freundlich eingerichtet und hat alles was man fĂŒr einen Aufenthalt einer 6-köpfigen Familie braucht. Die Lage oberhalb von Simonâs Town ist ideal. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen.
This place was wonderful in every way. It was extremely clean and well appointed, the location was excellent and it has beautiful ocean views. I would recommend it to anyone staying in the area!
