There are several different type of hotels to choose from in the Cape Peninsula. Most are small and intimate and range from the luxurious Colona Castle, with its imposing views across False Bay to more modest bed & breakfast such as Boulders Beach Guest House.
There are few places in Cape Town where you get a true ‘ bucket and spade’ seaside holiday feel. The Cape Peninsula is however one of them. The warm waters of False Bay mean that the water is a few degrees warmer than the Atlantic Side ( Camps Bay, Bantry Bay etc ) and therefore if your traveling with a family choosing accommodation somewhere in the Cape Peninsula means your close to the family beaches.
Arguably the finest hotel in the Cape Peninsula is
Colona Castle. Run and owned by Michael and Nicole Brand this boutique hotel is elegantly appointed. Ideal for the more mature guests who enjoy staying at the same hotel for an extended period, the views from Colona are spectacular. Dinners can be arranged at the hotel or at local seafood restaurants.
Two recently opened boutique establishments include
Rodwell House and
The St James. Situated in the Victorian seaside town of Kalk Bay, these two boutique hotels have both undergone extensive refurbishment and are modern and luxurious.
If you are looking for accommodation that is good value for money and centrally located then
Simons Town Quayside Hotel is a good choice. Located in the centre of Simons Town on the harbour this hotel has a variety of different room types. Close to art shops, antique shops and restaurants, the hotel is ideally suited for exploring Simons Town on foot.
Boulders Beach is made famous by its population of African Penguins. Close to Boulders Beach you will find the Penguin inspired
Boulders Beach Guesthouse. This is exceptionally simple yet affordable Bed & Breakfast style accommodation. Closer to the road is the Whale View Manor, where the well traveled owner has decorated the rooms in various different styles.
