Sadly, we had only one night left when we stayed in the Mariner Guesthouse. We'll definitely return here if we ever visit Cape Town again. Simonstown, together with it's neighbouring villages, is a great base for a few days respite from the hectic pace in Cape Town The views are absolutely stunning, as it's located up such a steep hill...

We stayed for 3 nights at The Mariner Guest House and found our stay here the best we'd had on our travels around South Africa. From the fantastic views over Simon's Town and False Bay, to the clean room and the most comfortable beds we couldn't of asked for more. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the breakfast...

This guesthouse has many happy memories for us as this is where we went for our honeymoon. The rooms are lavish and comfortable with their extra sized bath fit for a couple to share a candlelit bath with some bubbly. Staff are exceptionally friendly and really go out of their way to make you feel at home. We are planning... More

We stayed at the guesthouse for a weekend. From the booking-in to the check-out, the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, and the view of False Bay and the dockyard, stunning. It's also in close proximity to Cape Point and Boulders.

We stayed at Mariner's for 3 days, in early december, as part of our holiday. We used it as a base to go shark diving with Shark Explorers. We were pleasantly surprised by the large, light, well equipped bedroom and the very comfortable bed and pillows. The common room is also very comfortable (although sometimes a bit crowded and noisy).... More

My husband and I spent one night at Mariner Guest House and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The views over Simonstown harbour are fantastic and sitting on the balcony just watching the ocean is great. The room was well appointed with everything you might want. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the breakfast a treat! Highly recommended for... More

The Mariner Guesthouse is a great place to stay in Simon's Town! My wife and I spent 3 nights, and enjoyed the experience. It was clean, comfortable and the staff consistently went out of their way to be helpful. The view of False Bay is terrific. You are walking distance to town (although there are several public stairs to consider).... More

Mariner Guesthouse exceeded my expectation. From the moment we were greeted by the friendly and professional manager, we were encouraged to make ourselves at home. We were taken on a tour around the facilities and then left in our beautiful room with a bottle of bubbly to relax and breathe in the exquisite views on our balcony. All the staff... More

If you want a great view, this is the place to book. Great service, great rooms, a really well set up downstairs outdoor Braai facility with fantastic views. The breakfast was so good we though they had a gourmet chef in the kitchen, really fantastic catering. Close to Cape Point & other great places to visit & things to do.

I have done a lot of travelling and it is rare to find a place where you know you'll return to again and again. Mariner Guesthouse is a relatively newly built house with all the modern conveniences that makes life more comfortable - Wi-Fi, DSTV, Air-Conditioner, etc. As a business traveller I appreciated the large room and desk for working....
