Mermaid Rock Cottage ligt op slechts 7 minuten lopen van de mooie zandstranden en is een charmant vissershuisje met zelfstandige zelfstandige familie-accommodatie. Vanaf het dek met zeezicht kunt u genieten van spectaculaire zonsopgangen en zonsondergangen en van BBQ genieten met een prachtig uitzicht op False Bay en ArK Rock. Gelegen in Jackson Road, een rustig straatje, een mooie wandeling van het pittoreske kustplaatsje Simon's Town om te winkelen en lekker eten tegen redelijke prijzen. Maak een wandeling naar Boulders Beach National Park beroemd om zijn Jackass Penguin Colony of een adembenemende wandeling over de marinestappen op Admirals Kloof, de berg achter het huisje. Rijd de schilderachtige weg naar het zuiden, het schiereiland af, naar het bekende natuurreservaat Cape Point, waar u een prachtig uitzicht op de 2 oceanen, Indische en Atlantische Oceaan, kunt samenvoegen. Geniet van een glas Kaapse wijn en een braai terwijl je onder de pergola op het dek zit en uitkijk op zee, je kunt een zeldzame glimp opvangen van de zeemeermin van Ark Rock!

Penguins and Pinotage!
This house was a wonderful find. Equipped with everything you’d need for a short or medium stay. It was quiet, clean, and conveniently located to all the southern coast has to offer. Our property manager, Janine, was informative, responsive, friendly, and always helpful. Highly recommend this rental property.For those not familiar with it, Simon’s Town is a great little seaside town outside of Capetown - accessible to all the area attractions including the African penguin colony (must see) and the nearby Constanta vineyards and wineries. Really recommend this location to those seeking to avoid the larger urban setting of Capetown.

Wonderful house with great views!
Nothing bad at all to say about this house!
We met Janene, the property manager, upon arriving at Mermaid Rock Cottage. She provided fruit for our stay, and showed us around the cottage, which is lovely.
The views of False Bay are simply out of this world!
Would stay again!

Lovely place right near the heart of Simon’s Town. Good price and easy check-in/check-out. Lovely views of False Bay from the deck where we saw tons of breaching whales. Bring binoculars. No issues.

Great Location in Simon's Town
We had a great stay at the cottage! It was within walking distance to Boulder's Beach and the little shops. The views are spectacular! And Barry made our stay even better with great recommendations and hospitality. We would definitely love to stay here again if we ever get the chance to return :)

This is a lovely cottage that has all the amenities you need. Checking in with Jenni was painless and she went over everything we needed to know. We loved that we could walk to Boulder Beach and to Simons Town. We had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Would highly recommend this property and hope to return someday.

Great location and property
We had a lovely stay. The property is very nice, great location close to penguins and easy drive to other attractions, and has great views.
The listing could be clearer that there is a cash deposit and early arrival/departure fee. Not a problem, but that only became clear later when we signed the contract.

Future first option
Simply cannot fault anything - from the time of booking until checkout. Excellent service including, updates on load shedding schedules and alternative lighting and cooking options, sharing of local knowledge and responsive contact throughout our stay. Will most certainly place this property at the top of our return holiday accommodation options in the Western Cape. Thank you for delivering as advertised and adding to making this a memorable break.

Amazing and more amazing! Views to dream for!
We had a wonderful stay! The sunset and sunrise views over the bay was absolutely amazing from almost every window and porch of the home. My family loved the home so much that we want to buy it if it one day comes up for sale. Please let me know! The house was very well equipped with everything a guest could need. The property manager went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. Thank you so much!

Dream place to stay
Very quiet neighborhood. Walking distance from the beach (Boulders and others), sea side restaurants and downtown Simon's Town shopping and dining. Excellent manager, very responsive via WhatsApp. The only downside is the distance from downtown Cape Town but we didn't mind the ride with such wonderful views. Overall, great experience. Would come again! Kudos to Jen. ❤️

Breathtaking views from a peaceful oasis
We had a fantastic stay. We felt immediately at home. The cottage is located on a small quiet residential road. It has magnificent views, especially from its sun terrace - a perfect place to relax and read a book. Bookshelves filled with a good selection of books were much appreciated.
WIFI and Netflix were just the icing on the cake for our screen dependent teenager but the WiFi was also very helpful for the adults to connect on WhatsApp. Barry, who welcomed us at the property was very friendly and chatty. We truly loved the property and we would definitely love to stay there again on our next trip to Cape Town.

Positively Charming Holiday Stay
My husband and I spent 4 lovely nights in this charming cottage overlooking False Bay, in Simon’s Town, Cape Town, South Africa. It had everything we needed and the local manager who checked us in was fantastic and provided lots of recommendations for places to go, sites to see, and where to eat. We enjoyed walking down to the beach to see penguins and other wildlife. We were even once greeted by a baboon calling out from the top of a house nearby. The view is breathtaking! You can see the sunrise over the bay in the morning as you drink your coffee on the portico or from the seating area inside. The owner has numerous potted plants as well as grape vines adorning the entrance way and outdoor seating areas. There is a beautiful mosaic mermaid mural which represents the naming of the cottage. Communication before and during the stay was with both the owner and the manager was excellent. We would love to stay here again in the future. A few days here left us wanting more.

Amazing views !!!
Elspeth, thank you so much for such a memorable stay at your home. This home is in a great location. Bolder beach is literally a 5 min walk away. The views from the porch are perfect for sunrise coffee. The home itself is great. Very clean and again good views from the living room windows. Berry was amazing as well. Answered any questions we had. He went above and beyond to make sure we knew where good restaurants were and a small grocery down the street for snacks to keep at the house. Berry even helped us unload our luggage. He is amazing and an A+. Elspeth Thank you for keeping in touch making sure we made it and that check in and out went smooth. Hope to see you again soon !!!

Excellent location and amazing property manager
The checkin process is unlike anything I have ever experienced, but I totally get it now. The house needs to be secured from baboons so there is a process that needs to be explained in person. It’s not hard, just too much to explain in text. Jenni the property manager is an absolute delight. The location of the property couldn’t be any better. It’s walkable to boulders beach. The porch/patio is gorgeous, sadly it was too cold to really get to enjoy it for our stay but in warmer months it’s perfect for sunrise or moonrise (not facing the right direction for sunset, but still gorgeous). The property is older so it doesn’t have a lot of outlets in convenient places and the sinks are the old school double faucet, but it’s very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location
Great Location. Quiet in the Wintertime. Short walk to view the penguins at Boulders Beach. Beautiful sunrise over the bay. We enjoyed breakfast at the Lighthouse Cafe. We used the clothes washing machine and hung our clothes outside on the line to dry. Two bathrooms with bathtubs and no standup shower. I haven’t taken a bath sitting in the tub since I was a child. The electric wall heater in one bedroom did not work. We enjoyed meeting Barry at arrival but I have never before had to pay a security deposit in cash. Using a credit card was not available. We didn’t have water one day because of a water main break in town. We experienced load shedding in Johannesburg and decided that no water was worse than no electricity. This is Africa was our reaction. Our 3 night stay here was part of a 3 week vacation across Southern Africa visiting family.

Really great house with a fantastic terrace
We booked this house for the view and we really loved in. The street where the house is located is very calm, so every evening we feeled like we're the only ones out there. The barbecue ofcourse also made the outside place feel like home. The garden was maintained well. Inside the house we loved the space and the double bathroom. The contact with the host was really good.

Over de eigenaar
Eigenaar: Elspeth Campbell
Elspeth lives in Cambridge. She settled in London from Zimbabwe 28 years ago. She is a professional running her own Management Consultancy business, a mum and is committed to the philosophy and practice of yoga. She is an Iyengar Yoga teacher. Her cottage in Cape Town dates back to Elspeth's time studying at UCT in 1982 when it was acquired into the family and many happy times have been spent there over 36 years.
Waarom de eigenaar deze accommodatie gekozen heeft
We adore the quiet beauty of the area around Simon's Town and the lovely, unspoilt beaches and rugged walks immediately accessible out of the back door. The location is pretty, calm and safe; also easy to get to interesting, lesser known places anywhere on the peninsula.
Wat deze accommodatie uniek maakt
From the deck watching the sunrise or sunset across the sea is very special. By night we get a magical view of stars and glittering lights across the bay. The new pergola and braai facilities on the deck offer the opportunity of meals while enjoying glorious sunlight or moonlight playing on the sea, and the movement of the waves to get a sense of the weather conditions. Alternatively breakfast or dinner in the protected area means we enjoy being outside away from wind and sun. This False Bay sea is warm, lovely for swimming. Local penguins are a delight! We may choose a breath taking walk up to the water tower behind the Cottage or the Naval Steps a little way along Runciman Drive. The quiet road and safe neighbourhood mean the children may visit the local store or Simon's Town without us worrying. On cold winter nights its cosy with curtains drawn, heating on, chilling out on comfortable sofas, dipping into nice selection of DVDs and books, with the bonus of sea view - its great!
