Our read

Simon's Town is sold as penguins. Tintswalo Boulders is a villa at 7 Gay Road with a view toward Boulders Beach, and the useful distinction is which suite actually has the water. Grosvenor, Cutty Sark, and Bounty are the sea question. The Courtyard Suite is a private courtyard and, in their own words, no sea view, at R4,060 in the low window they print for May to August 2026. Children are welcome here, which is not true of every Tintswalo on this coast. Come if the colony and Cape Point are the days, and if you have checked the view. Skip it if you booked the courtyard and expected the ocean.

Come here for

  • A villa at 7 Gay Road, with Boulders Beach and the penguins as the neighbour
  • A sea-facing suite, once you have ruled out the courtyard
  • A Cape Point day that starts in Simon's Town, with children allowed

Skip it if

  • You take the Courtyard Suite and expect a sea view. The page says it has none.
  • You wanted to sleep inside the penguin colony. This is the road above the beach.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Tintswalo Boulders is at 7 Gay Road, Simon's Town, with the phone +27 21 612 0113. The page places it beside Boulders Beach and the African penguin colony, with Cape Point as the drive, not the garden. Suites on the page include Grosvenor, Victory, Cutty Sark, and Bounty. The Courtyard Suite, which they also call Victory in the rate table, is described as a middle-level suite with a private courtyard and no sea view. The rate includes the room, breakfast, sunset canapes and cocktails, Wi-Fi, and parking. It excludes other meals, transfers, and a conservation levy of R100 per person per stay. Children of all ages are welcome. A child under 16 shares with an adult, and one extra child under 16 may be added if a bed is free. Ages 6 to 15 are charged 25 percent of the suite rate. Five and under stay free. For the Courtyard Suite they print R4,060 in the low window of 1 May to 31 August 2026. That figure is the room without the sea. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
