To be out of the City with such great views of the ocean and the mountains makes for a relaxing, highly recommended stay. We found it convenient to visit Cape Point and just loved walking around Kalk Bay and experiencing some of the real Cape culture. The breakfast was superbly presented and, as usual, we ate far more than we... More

I started my 6-day trip to the Cape Town area by stopping in at Moonglow based on a reference provided by Heath Keyser, owner of Great Escape Tours. Gillian was fantastic and met me on the first of my 3-night stay with a welcoming smile, a beverage and good food. Since I had been traveling on safari for 8 days... More

The rooms were very clean with furniture. The view of the sea and mountains is breathtaking especially that you have a door to the deck from your room. The hosts are very friendly and relaxed. Breakfasts were also quite good with good coffee. I will definitely come back!

I stayed at the Moonglow on the evening of April 20. It was completely magical. The views and facilities are magnificent, and Gillian is a wonderful host.

We found Moon Glow last minute. They were very welcoming and accommodating. The house is quaint and cozy, with fabulous views of false bay. The service was wonderful and Gillian and her team were very friendly and pleasant. Breakfast was amazing. They say its 4 stars but personally we would call it a definite 5 star experience. Loved it and... More

We stayed at Moonglow 8 years ago and had such a wonderful experience there. Now, 8 years later, it was our 6th wedding anniversary and we went back to spend a long weekend there. It was just as memorable as before, if not more. If you're looking for a quaint, personal, eclectic experience, this is the place for you. Gillian... More

My husband and I travelled with my dad (75) and his older brother (87) both in SA for the first time... and Moonglow was our first B&B in SA. Straight from the airport we arrived in the early afternoon-Gillian gave us a warm welcome and offered us a drink. She and her staff are very hospitable and were always willing... More

I stayed at Moonglow for a weekend in the spring of 2011. We stayed in Room 3, which looks over False Bay onto the distant Hottentot Hollands. I felt right at home as Gillian and her staff are very welcoming and the entire guesthouse just breathes personality. The owners have filled the guest area with lots of original artworks, collectables... More

We were made to feel comfortable and welcome from the start - with a drink in the bar. Lovely rooms and view. It is quiet and has the advantage of a good restaurant in easy walking distance down the hill. A great breakfast completed the experience.

We spent a lovely night at Moonglow on March 8th for my wife's birthday and hey presto it coincided with the full moon rising over Fasle Bay, making the evening even more magical. It is a beautifully appointed guest house with panoramic views from the lounge and breakfast area out over the bay. Watch ships from Simonstown harbour and the... More
