2 Best Hotels in Simon's Town, South Africa

The French-born owner of this gem just past Boulders Beach takes his vocation seriously, providing a level of engagement and service that creates a gorgeous retreat where edgy, rustic, and super-elegant design features and fantastic views of False Bay combine to great effect. With only five rooms—each styled differently, but all mixing polished concrete surfaces in neutral tones with a few carefully selected ornate pieces of furniture—it's all extremely intimate, and made for quiet relaxation. Enjoy a drink on the patio by the pool, hang out in the stylish lounge, or enjoy the aromas coming from the open kitchen as you await your generous breakfast; be sure to book dinner here as these are surely the best meals in town.

This clean and contemporary African-themed guesthouse in a residential area about 3 km (2 miles) outside Simon's Town offers spacious rooms with magnificent views over False Bay. All five spacious rooms have sitting areas with unobstructed views of the ocean and the surrounding mountains. The stunning views are courtesy of a residential location perched on a steep hill, however, you'll need a car to do any exploring or get meals beyond breakfast.
