ACCOMMODATION
This heritage home settled upon the iconic shores of Simon’s Town, Boulders House is a timeless, characterful residence, which serves as both a high-summer haven and a comforting winter retreat.
Built in the 1890’s for the admiral of the British Navy, this hideaway has endured the changing tides of time, and retains her dignified stance above the shoreline of Boulders beach. Her bones being the construct of the great Sir Herbert Baker, Boulders House reveals a compelling story about the ways lives were lived beside the sea. Having recently renovated the historic villa, the owners remained steadfast in their wish to respect its original features. Both inside and outside the property you will find an elevated and modernized sanctuary, with nods and tributes to the house's Victorian roots. Stepping into this magnificent home, you will find a light flooded space from the minute the sun rises due to its Easterly setting. Enjoy drifting through the long corridors, classically styled living and dining spaces, grand staircases, seven bedrooms and five accompanying bathrooms, all transformed to a standard that would rival the original splendour.
There’s an atmosphere to Simon’s Town that is second to none. A vintage charm and elegance that draws visitors back year after year. From the village streets, cafés, convenience stores and old souvenir stores, to the meandering walkways that lead to all of its hidden coves - it is truly a gem. Embrace salty hair and sun-kissed shoulders whilst admiring the oceanic wildlife around the harbour, where South Africa’s largest naval base is stationed.
One of Cape Town’s most famous beaches, right on your doorstep.
Having direct access down to the wooden walkway that leads onto Boulders Beach is a rarity that you won’t ever take for granted. Experience a meditative dip in the slightly warmer waves of the Indian Ocean, accompanied by the penguins, the sea gulls and a few of your crew. Or, plunge into the swimming pool, enjoy a hot brew on the front stoep, followed by a stretch out on the lawn in the morning’s rays. Play card games with an afternoon tipple or two in the shade of the garden and finish with an evening feast from the kitchen, where you can either cook for yourself or let one of our chosen chefs stand up to the task. Every moment at Boulders House is special.
A timeless coastal villa on the iconic penguin boardwalk, offering heritage charm, ocean views, and a truly distinctive seaside backdrop for productions
