Lovely accommodation and location completely spoiled by uncaring hosts!
We telephoned to advise of our later than anticipated arrival and were scolded like naughty children - we were advised that we had ruined our hosts planned evening out. This set the tone for our two night stay.
No offer of help with luggage - my husband is 72 and registered blind
Cursory tour of the accommodation given on arrival
Room accessed by many external stairs - no lights left on for us on our return on the second night of our stay
An early departure on our last morning required a packed breakfast - we recieved a supermarket pack of a few grapes, two apples and two bananas!
Value for money? I think not .
We shall not return!

I would reccommend this great accommodation to anyone wanting to stay in Cape Town. They have bed and breakfast and self catering apartments, both of which I have stayed in. Have stayed twice now and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The accommodation is near to all Cape Town's attractions with easy access to travel wider throughout the Cape if you want to venture further.

This time we went for a week in one of the self catering apartments which was great and really good value for such well-equipped apartments! They had satellite TV, secure parking, a lovely pool (shared with a couple of other apartments) and even a (free to use) laundry room.

Stunningly peaceful location with great wildlife (good birdwatching very close for example).

The hosts are friendly and available at the nearby B&B guest house if you need them, but not in your face. Barry is a mine of information on just about everything and was really happy to help us plan our route after we left Cape Town and advise on the range of trips and attractions nearby.

Check it out!

Loved the peacefulness of Clovelly Lodge between Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek. Just 20 mins from the city centre too. Outstandingly beautiful surroundings and views. Everything we needed, and breakfast to die for. Had a self-catering apartment for part of the time and that was also great. Well equipped, good information and maps. Real value for money.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Really good quality at a good price, friendly, comfy and good food.
    • Disliked — Rooms at the B&B guest house a bit small maybe.
    • Tips/Secrets: — One of the B&B rooms has great views, worth booking early. If u don't get it the deck has the view too.

We found this lovely little guesthouse at the end of our holiday, it is 40mins drive from Cape Town Waterfront/Airport. The best room has views over the ocean and hills of Simons Town area. Breakfast is served outside on the patio, theres a pool and the owners are a wealth of information of all kinds of activities. Book in advance for the best room, eat & shop local at Kalk Bay (the Olympia Cafe is highly recommended), go to Simons town for kayaking, boat trips and penguins and you won't want to leave!
