We truly enjoyed our stay at Magellan's Passage. The room was very comfortable and had a balcony with a beautiful view of the bay. We enjoyed being close enough to town to dine at the restaurants and go kayaking with the penguins (as well as visit the penguin colony) but far enough up the hillside to enjoy quietness. We both had a massage through the spa there (across the street) and it was truly one of the best massages we've had in a long time. Darwin and his staff are amazing. We'll definitely stay again when we get back to Simonstown!

EXCELLENT HOTEL IN SIMONS TOWN
This is a modern hotel with a small number of rooms. It is on a steep hill which gives great views. Our room was fantastic. A nice bedroom, with a large, well appointed modern bathroom. But then there was a spiral staircase to our lounge. The lounge had views to the mountain at the back but the view over the bay to the front was exceptional. After we had visited the local penguin colony (a must do in Simons Town) all we wanted to do was to relax in our sitting room and enjoy the view. The furniture and fittings in the room(s) were very tasteful, and the staff could not have been more helpful with our luggage, providing directions and generally making us feel welcomed. The breakfast was excellent, served in the dining room with all glass walls with a view over the bay. The hotel provides a dinner service if booked in advance. We are glad we took up this option. We had a lovely meal with great wine. We were the only guests who had booked dinner that night and it was like having a meal prepared by your own private chef. Six out of five stars.

Pleasantly surprised
Stunning views , a great bedroom ( I think we were upgraded because it was quiet season) , very good value for money. The room we got was very comfortable, spacious with spectacular views. The house and area is safe ( security even at the bottom of the road). The manager is a great people person. He makes you feel very welcome and it’s home from home. I will definitely go back

I was pleasantly surprised from the condition of the property to the staff who managed Magellan! I am an extensive traveler and this is by far one of the best properties I have come across and if I ever return to Cape Town, I will seek out Magellan's Passage.
