South Africa - Places To Stay

Simon's Town, Cape Town - Boulders Beach Lodge and Restaurant is situated just 70 meters from the world famous Boulders Beach African Penguin Colony. The lodge is situated en route to Cape Point and has spectacular views over False Bay. An ideal base to explore the Cape coast during whale season, Boulders provide comfortable, family friendly accommodation. Guests can choose between the basic courtyard suites, upper deck suites with sea views, or the larger family suites. Each room has complimentary sherry, Amarula and Lindt chocolates on the pilows to soothe and relax you, after a long day chilling at the beach.

Boulders restaurant's deck offers sweeping views of False Bay, while you enjoy fresh fish from the local harbour. They serve Pacific Rim Cuisine, fresh South African produce with an Asian twist of flavours. The menu is changed every three months and is an experience that has to be tried.
