Simonstown Boutique Backpackers

Simonstown Boutique Backpackers is situated along the main road in Simonstown and is based in the Historical Prince Alfred Building, established in 1802. Simonstown is a charming naval town named after the governor of the Cape Colony, Simon van der Stel, upon whose recommendation the Bay was used by the Dutch East India Trading Company for winter anchorage.

The backpackers offers a number of different room types to accommodate specific needs. It features a huge sea-facing balcony, ideal for people-spotting, action-watching, and soaking up the view while enjoying a beer or two. Simonstown is quieter than Cape Town itself, providing a peaceful and tranquil base for a holiday. There are no parking hassles or crime problems, and the center of Cape Town is only 45 minutes away by car or just over an hour by train. Visitors can easily reach all the great sites of Cape Town, as well as the beauty of Cape Point at the Cape of Good Hope, the Cape Peninsula, and the famous Penguins of Boulder's Beach, which is located nearby.

Simonstown Boutique Backpackers is conveniently located in the heart of Simonstown and just a 10-minute walk from the railway station. It can arrange airport transfers, bicycle rental, Cape Point, Overland, Wine, and Garden Route tours, shark diving tours, boat trips, and car hire. The en-suite rooms are comfortably furnished with double and single beds.
