Wake up to the stunning vista of the sun rising over the mountains on the far side of False Bay, turning the sea into a mass of sparkling stars. Watch dolphins frolic from the spacious up- and downstairs patios, and whales breach from the comfort of the open plan lounge. Look out at the fynbos on the mountain at the rear as you prepare something special for dinner in the well appointed kitchen. Marvel at the spectacle of the naval fleet sailing past as you tuck into your barbecue on the sheltered verandah. Come and spend a wonderful holiday at our stunning home away from home, The Penguin Cove Sea Lodge in intimate Simon’s Town, South Africa.
