Spent only one night at the Winston unfortunately on March19th. Absolutely as described, large bedroom (Albatross) , real comfy bed, bathroom everything necessary and of course a fantastic view across False Bay. As a guest house owner myself I found totally deserved it's rating, welcoming staff, great breakfast and not a thing out of place. Just sorry could only manage... More

We stayed in the Whale suite which was lovely and spacious with the pool just outside and great views of the ocean. George prepares a great breakfast! Simons Town has many good restaurants and things to do and see, especially... More

The room was very spacious with crisp white bed linen and a comfortable lounge area. The location of this guest house is just stunning. We had uninterrupted views of the ocean and a decking... More

Not really sure where the two previous reviews were coming from. None of the rooms (only 4 !) are on the same level of the pool so obviously Saudafricandrimer was staying in another hotel / B & B (check the pics on the website to confirm this!). My girlfriend & i stayed in the Albatross suite which was clean &... More

The place looks like it's trying to "imitate" a luxury small hotel when in fact it's very simple. The room was average, we had to ask for sheets for out daughter, for coffee and sugar, etc. The bathroom had a door and a window into the interior of the house with an improvised window cover half pilled off... We had... More

The hotel is well located and the views were awesome. Having said this, the hotel stincked like hell!! The room was very moisterous as it had probably not had any ventilation in the past 10 years. Alternatively, they have a serious funghi problem in the rooms. This is probably due to the fact that our room lied at the same... More

Spent 4 days relaxing at the Winston with my wife and 18-month daughter. The guest house is in a quiet and safe residential suburb of Simon's Town, about 1km from the penguin viewing at Boulders Beach, set just off the sea front but with magnificent views from the bedrooms and the pool area. This is also a great base for... More
