We invite you to experience Old World charm, stylish elegance, comfort and warm hospitality in our lovely home in the Historic centre of Simon’s Town. Our position immediately above Jubilee Square gives a bird’s eye view of the yacht basin, the naval activity and panoramic views across False Bay to the mountains. It is a short walk to the centre of our Victorian village and its attractive waterfront. And in season we watch the whales from our patio.

The B&B accommodation for two (plus two children who can ‘camp’ on the patio) is offered when the house is not rented as a unit. It has a separate entrance, en suite bathroom and private garden. Also, DSTV plus PVR so you can watch the full range of TV programmes, tea and coffee making facilities, microwave, crockery, cutlery and a small bar fridge. Our excellent breakfasts are served on the ‘Patio with the View!’

There is off street parking in our quiet, safe, secluded close.

A short flight of steps lead into the Victorian village with its Waterfront, shops, restaurants, museums, kayaking and boat rides. A few minutes walk takes you to the beach, or the train for a scenic ride round the Bay.

We are conveniently close to Cape Point Nature Reserve, the famous Penguin Colony, numerous sheltered white sandy beaches, (where you can swim with the Penguins) several excellent Golf Courses, Chapman's Peak Drive, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, quirky Kalk Bay with it’s working fishing harbour and quaint shops, horse riding, fishing, diving, hiking and lots more.

We are an excellent base from which to explore the entire Western Cape area. 40 minutes to the famous Winelands, or to Cape Town for a cable car ride up Table Mountain, a boat trip to Robben Island or a visit to the V&A Waterfront.

Goede Hoop is an ideal base from which to explore the whole Western Cape region. Instead of packing up and moving each day, come home each evening to your comfortable room and our warm hospitality.
