. Whale and Penguin Beach House is a charming beach house in Glencairn, Simon's Town, Cape Town. We offer several configurations of holiday accommodation - from self catering apartments to en-suite rooms within the house sharing common areas. We recently listed on AirBnB and Wimdu and have become a formal Super-Host with AirBnB. LISTING 2 - SELF CATERING HOLIDAY APARTMENT
Large upmarket sea facing beach road apartment with private entrance, parking, huge bathroom, fully equipped kitchenette [1] and coffee bar stocked with essentials [2][3]. Unobstructed view overlooking False Bay from Muizenberg to Boulders Beach (penguins) to Simon's Town harbor. 5 min walk to Dixie's restaurant/pub. Small beach and warm tidal pool directly in front. The space
"If it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for our guests" - your hosts. We use only 100% Egyptian cotton linen with a thread count of 400 (where possible), soft puffy over-sized duvets, and at least six pillows (soft, medium and firm).
• The double bed's mattress is brand new and of Superb quality with built in memory foam to comfort a sore back and stiff legs. A dual operated electric blanket lets each guest choose his or her own temperature settings.
• An open plan dressing area has bright down-lights and built-in cupboards and some drawers styled with solid Bamboo doors. There's enough space for all your clothing and empty suitcases to minimize clutter. We supply wooden hangers.
• The large bathroom has a comfortable toilet with a bamboo seat and a separate bidet. The extra length bath is so large and wide that two people can soak and relax with bubbles. We place candles everywhere for a romantic calming atmosphere. The shower is over the bath and has a hand shower extension that reaches down to the baths base.
• The kitchenette is located in the conservatory (glass room) that overlooks the ocean. There are two modern chairs and a "table" trolley that you may move about to take advantage of the ever changing view - yachts of all sizes, whales, seals, dolphins, fish eagles, sea gulls, Naval vessels, Fishing boats, Cape Argus cyclists, marathon runners, and civilized people walking their pets or taking casual strolls.
• Expandable shutters and block out curtains will block unwanted light should you wish to sleep late or have a nap.
• The entrance hall downstairs used to be "the old boat-house". Although the ceilings are quite low, we designed the space to be open, light and bright. We suspended paintings and carvings to move about ever so slightly in response to a breeze. We placed an oversize unusually styled Chaise-longue couch on the opposite wall to lie back on and enjoy watching the art move. We are situated on the Beach Road directly on the sea. We live in the safest part of Cape Town, South Africa. Most residents in the area take early morning or evening strolls to enjoy the clean fresh sea air. Down the road is the Dixie's restaurant for breakfasts, sun downers, steaks, fish and wood fired pizzas. The historical Victorian naval village of Simon's Town, (Simonstown), is a hub for trips to Cape Point, Boulder's Penguins, Whales, Kalk Bay, Chapman's peak, Vineyards, Naval Museum, 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the Scratch Patch Mineral World, WW2 Canon (1943) view point, Shark cage diving, regular snorkeling, and home of the legendary WW2 "Just Nuisance Great Dane".
