    We could not have chosen a more perfect place to enjoy the beauty of the Cape Peninsula from. Situated just over the road from the beach with stunning views across the bay it was a very relaxing 4 night stay. Too many highlights to mention so if...

    sehr helles, sonniges und sauberes Zimmer mit einzigartigem Ausblick!! Vom Balkon aus kann man mit ein wenig Glück sogar Wale beobachten. Check in war unkompliziert und das Personal sehr freundlich!

The Tides offers 3 x suites equipped with King size beds, en-suite bathroom, kitchenette with microwave oven, fridge, toaster and kettle. A dinette set for two is available for guest use. Outside the suite are loungers or a dinette set for morning cups of coffee. Enjoy endless sea views overlooking the India Ocean over to the Helderberg Mountain range. The Tides is a wonderful place to relax while you explore the South Peninsula.
I have been hosting for many years and enjoy meeting new travellers from all over the world. Being an outdoor person, I could not think of a more fitting place to live. We are surrounded by oceans and mountains and this calls for being outdoors most of the time.
Simons Town is a historical Naval village, far enough away to enjoy the solitude, but close enough to pop into the city (max 1 hour drive). With so much to do and see there is hardly enough time to fit everything in on a one night stay. We encourage guests to stay at least 2-3 days to explore the Simons Town and the surrounding areas.
