2/10 Poor

Rude horrible management
This was probably the worst guesthouse experience I have ever had. Absolute lack of service and lack of respect. There was an issue with the TV in our room and Elsa was not at all useful when i asked for assistance. She refused for me to change rooms although we where the only guests there. Instead she sent a message to my husband saying to let me know that there is more to life than watching TV! Insane behavior. When i asked for later check out so we could have a little more time she told me not to interfere with her business and accused me of throwing stones because I complained. She was rude and disrespectful she made my 10 year old daughter and i feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Safe to say i did not check out early, I packed and left with my daughter as soon as possible. I would not recommend this guesthouse to any one and it is a real pity as the location and rooms are beautiful but Elsa made my brief stay a horrible experience and this needs to be addressed.

Great views; average hotel
Overall a pleasant place to stay on the main road just outside of Simonstown central district with glorious views and a little beach across the street. We could walk to Boulders Beach to see penguins. A nice breakfast served on the terrace in the morning. Helpful owner on site in the morning. There is no generator - so we were two hours in darkness during load shedding (with one battery charged light). We could not get an Uber at night to take us into town and no food near hotel itself. Steep steps up to front entrance and room with no one to help with bags upon our arrival. Some stains on the bedsheets. A basic room. We would qualify this as a two star hotel.

Good location with ok facilities
We stayed at Whale View Manor to mainly go to the boulders beach to view the penguins. Our family enjoyed our time there but the hotel is pretty basic and rooms are a bit small.

Lovely guesthouse
This hotel was great. The only thing missing for us was a bit more hospitality. Everyone was very kind, but we often wondered if anyone else was actually around or in the house. Additionally, the WiFi is very spotty- only an issue if you need to do any work or hop on the internet for some reason. Overall a very nice, clean, well-located guest house.

Very professional staff. Hotel is immaculately presented with wonderful breakfast. Rooms extremely comfortable - some with amazing views of the sea. Ours was mountain facing and still a nice outlook over the garden and mountain. Sea view veranda for guests use and guest lounge with honesty bar. WiFi available throughout. Off street parking. Would recommend.

Nice Hotel, but Remote with Difficult Access
Nice and stylish hotel, but the location is removed from anything but the beach requiring a drive to get to Simon’s Town. Access to the hotel is somewhat difficult since the only access is via the very steep driveway (i.e. no pedestrian path). Parking is limited and tight. The hotel has a fantastic view of the ocean/beach from the front veranda. The staff are very nice and accommodating. The WiFi is absolutely the worst. It is weak and keeps logging out. The beds are nice, but the pillows are very firm. I assume that they could have been switched out, but I only realized this late at night and didn’t want to wander around looking for staff to address the issue. The breakfast was fantastic.

We stayed for 2 nights at Whale View Manor Guesthouse and the service and breakfast were very good. We watched two whales float past when sitting on our bedroom balcony. The hightlight of the whole holiday.

6/10 Good

The hotel itself was beautiful, staff was also extremely helpful and welcoming. We even saw whales one morning while eating breakfast. I only really have two complaints- noise travels very easily so once any guest is up you hear them. Made it kind of tough after long travels. The other thing, they serve breakfast but that's it(this may have been our error as well) but it's difficult to get a ride around that area and there's not really anything to do except boulders beach. After that, unless you have your own transport- you're just kind of stuck at the hotel- hungry. But again, if we would of had our own car this would have been different.

Nice hotel close to beach
Overnight stay was very pleasant. Hotel is a little way out of town and we had difficulty getting a taxi to bring us back after dinner. However a lovely walk into town in the morning to see penguins. We had a sea view room which was lovely. Heard the waves washing th shore overnight and sunrise was spectacular.
