Mariner Guesthouse & Villa

We stayed 4 nights with our 2 kids, we had 2 interleading rooms, perfect for our family. Staff is very friendly and always available to help. We definitely recommend Mariner Guesthouse.

Between Mandy's incredible hospitality, the immaculate rooms, the views of whales breaching in the bay out the windows, the decadent breakfasts, and espressos that flow like water, this is the nicest and most comfortable place we've ever stayed. Our big group of 12 people could not have asked for a better place to base our explorations of the Cape. Thank You, Mariner!

Thank you to Liesel for being so kind and accommodating. The room was clean and well furnished and very comfortable. A special thank you to Mandy for her hospitality and professionalism and for making the most delicious breakfasts and a cozy wood fire in the lounge in the evenings. The views are unrivalled and service fantastic!

Firstly, thank you to Liesel for her refreshing service and friendly disposition. Mandy welcomed us and took care of our every need. The breakfast was made to perfection and totally scrumptious. Our room was clean, inviting and well maintained. Thank you for the added touch of a wood fire in the lounge in the evenings. It was lovely, especially since the cold started to set in. Parking is ample and safe and this is a great location for a quick walk form into town. Definitely a must-go to destination for a weekend.

A big and sincere thank you to Mariner Guesthouse & Villa. They very kindly hosted business colleagues at short notice. Mandy was very welcoming and and I knew that my colleagues were in good hands. The next day they said that they had really enjoyed their stay and had been looked after very well. They were very happy with their rooms and their breakfast and would definitely return again. With much appreciattion to Liesel and Mandy, the Simon's Town Museum.

We were a family of 5, and stayed at this establishment for 5 days in early January 2024. This is an outstanding guesthouse set up on the hill in Simon's Town with a stunning view of False Bay. Breakfast was delicious and generous, and the outstanding service and assistance from Amanda were very much appreciated. The rooms were neat and clean, and they met our needs during our stay. I would recommend this guesthouse.

Avoid if only because the owner is terrible. We booked a few days in advance and chose this guest house among hundreds because it said it had AC on the booking website. ********** listed it as a filtered amenity they had in room and said it on the guest houses website. It's January here. It's scorching hot. And we need AC to be comfortable at night. We show up, my bf checks in. We bring our bags in and realize, no AC! He goes back and is told only some rooms have AC, not all, and there are no AC rooms available. They offer us the owners daughters room which does have AC but is covered in personal belongings and is basically a small kids room. We say ok well if you have no rooms with AC we will just have to get a different hotel, figuring we're being pretty nice considering.l we have to move our stuff out and get a new place last minute. My bf asks about our refund since we can't stay. The receptionist calls the owner and the owner gets on the phone with my bf and says that we can't have a refund because even though ********** said the rooms have AC, the email that was sent after we paid for the hotel room stated somewhere in the terms and conditions that our room wasn't an AC room. We checked the email and can't find this information, and regardless it wouldn't matter. You can't charge someone for an amenity and then tell them after they've paid that they don't actually offer it. So in addition to have to lug our bags around multiple times and buy a room last minute in a less than safe town, the owner not only doesn't apologize but says they're keeping our money. I should note that in the five minutes we were there we could hear EVERYTHING the guys in the next room said and there was a dog barking nonstop. If you're enthralled with the view of this guest house rest assured that every hotel in this town has a similar view, it's a hillside town. There's hundreds of identical guest houses. I've ran an Airbnb and would never be this rude to a guest about what is at best a misunderstanding and at worst an error on their part. So within ten minutes we issued a charge back for fraud on our credit card, our monies already refunded, and this guest house gets a bad review and a strike against them for Visa charges. Guess that is what they wanted. Perplexing.

Checked in by Mandy who was exceptional in all ways and made us feel right at home. Rooms were lovely and the proximity to town perfect. Breakfast a massive hit with the whole family. We would totally recommend a stay here and would happily return. Thank you Fulton family

The guest attendant Androphy was very helpful, the breakfast was cooked to order and the views were stunning. Restaurants and shopping about 20min walk but the Penguin colony is nearly right next door. Great stay
