Since 2008 I have stayed in Moonglow many times when working in Simons Town. Recently I and my wife stayed there again for a vacation and we explored the Western Cape for 7 days. As always it is a fantastic area to stay, the "heat to eat" appliances in the rooms is an excellent addition to the rooms and the view are magic, right from Simons Town all along the coast of False Bay up to Hangklip......thank you Gillian it was fantastic!

without GPS, it was difficult to find the house: indication on the main road from Cape Town to Cape Point, but not in the other sense.... but, when we arrive, the smile of Gillian, the beauty of the place and of the house make you forget everything. The view is amazing, the room very comfortable and nicely decorated and it is a real pleasure to speak with the host, very attentive and available. Very nice breakfast. Probably the best stay on our trip in South Africa?
