Great experience on all levels
Fantastic stay. Watched whales from the deck playing in the ocean. Only 10 minutts walk to the pingvins.
Tips. Attend the sosial dinner with the other guest. Great food and great company.

Owner does not allow late check in.
We were charged for dinner despite cancellation ahead of time. Single entrance for all guests shered by owner. No private entrance. There are no penguins on the beach next to this residence. It is over 5 km drive from there.

Residence William French greatly exceeded our expectations! We made our booking there due to its close proximity to the Cape of Good Hope and Boulder’s Beach, excited about hiking and penguins. It turns out our experience at Residence William French rivaled our experiences at the Cape and with the penguins; it was fantastic! The residence is located in a quiet neighborhood, perched on a hillside with a stunning view of False Bay. The property is impeccably decorated, comfortable, and welcoming. Our dinner and breakfast there were beautifully and thoughtfully prepared, and delicious, on par with the best meals we’ve had in Cape Town. William is the perfect host. We were sad to leave, wishing we’d booked more nights there.

This place is heaven. William has made this a slice of paradise in every way, from the details of the amenities with luxurious finishes, to his amazing cooking, and overall being an excellent host. We left our last night in Cape Town open and while traveling were told about this property by another couple. They were oozing about how wonderful this place was. We were able to book and were not disappointed. We only stayed for one night, but we will be back for an extended trip. This place cannot be described with only words. It's just magnificent.

Exceeding all expectations
From the first moment at welcome to an emotional farewell after a week we felt like part of the William’s Family.
We couldn’t wish more from this gorgeous place - from the breathtaking location on the hill with the spectacular view over False Bay to the uniquely decorated rooms, the infinity-pool and last but not least - the delicious breakfasts and dinners - everything made with love from scratch. Janine, William, Florence and the other members of the ”family”, you all made us really feel at home. We have travelled a lot, but never experienced such a fantastic hostess ship and a guest house offering nothing but the best.
If you plan to go to Simon’s Town, you can’t miss this heavenly place or Williams gourmet dinners.
We can strongly recommend this guest house

Everything about this property was beautiful and romantic. The views are stunning. The property is beautifully maintained. The staff think of every detail and THE FOOD! The included breakfast is delicious. If you have a chance to have William cook, take it! It will be fantastic. We haven’t stopped talking about this place since we left.

Een top accommodatie! William en zijn personeel doen hun best om het zo thuis mogelijk voor je te maken. Mooie, ruime, nette kamers, heerlijk zwembad, nogmaals een geweldige service! Een ontbijt waar je u tegen zegt! En van woensdag tot zondag serveren ze ook diner, wat een absolute aanrader is!

This is an excellent boutique hotel one can find in Simon's Town. Especially, if you're visiting Cape Point, this is the place to stay. The property is gorgeous, the rooms are spacious and their breakfast is unforgettable. Moreover, the pool on the terrace and the view are priceless. I should also add that William and Janine are great hosts, attentive to every detail and very helpful. Thank you both!
