Loved the location. Less than 100m down to the beach. You have to pay to access though so bring your ID card. It is worth it though, it keeps the place clean and protected with the penguins close by. We snorkelled with our boys and it was amazing, cold but amazing! The views are endless!

It has a manual gate so you will need help opening and closing which is fine but not ideal for multiple entry/exit situations.

The location is spectacular. From the veranda you have a direct, unobstructed view to the bay and Boulders Beach where the penguins are. Launa, Courtney and the staff are all lovely - super friendly, helpful, and professional…and we loved the dogs too!! The house is huge, linens were fresh, and beds comfortable. However…

Whilst the old house has charming features of a historic building, it is in need of renovations and basic upkeep. The kitchen in particular is incredibly disappointing. Not only is it physically decrepit (with peeling veneer and a fridge that may topple over) and hasn’t been updated since probably the 70s, but it is also ill-equipped. Most of the cupboards are completely bare! There are very very basic kitchen essentials like cutlery and dishes, but the one pan has a broken handle. Especially since the best part about the property is simply relaxing and enjoying the view, we really had hoped to enjoy some nice home-cooked meals, but the kitchen was quite inhospitable. There’s also nothing around so a working kitchen is all the more important.

My 3rd stay at Bosky Dell. Fantastic views over the False Bay, proximity to the penguins and the COGH NP. Friendly owners and lovely dogs.

Absolutely stunning location overlooking Boulders Beach and the penguins. Our studio cottage had a beautiful large window where you can look over the entire bay. The cottage had everything we needed, and the outside garden patio and braai is lovely and secluded.

The opening and closing of the gate is a bit tricky if you have no one to help - it would be good to put a gate motor on. Sliding doors onto a covered deck / verandah on the studio cottage would make it perfect.

This is a really special place to stay. The view of the beautiful bay is just stunning, you could just sit there and look at it all day long. Views of penguins right from your window, too! This is a great place to stay if you want to explore Cape Point Nature Reserve, plus the little towns along the way. We also did a whale watching tour and saw many humpbacks. There's also a lovely friendly orange cat that kept us company, which for us is a highlight as we were missing our cat from home :)

There's 3 dogs and 2 cats on the property, so if you don't like animals, you probably will want to find somewhere else. The door to the cottage had a large gap at the bottom, so we found lots of bugs were coming in.

The location was amazing! Lovely view. Great access to the penguins at Boulders Beach and to the whole area around Cape Point and the peninsula.

It was located near the Boulders Beach and the boardwalk can be accessed through a side-door and this is so convenient if you want to visit the penguin colony. The cottage was also perfect and quiet, I was even able to make my own breakfast as the place had all the needed amenities.

No a complaint but it would be good to bring your own grocery if you are staying for a few days as the nearest town is about 10 mts drive away.

It was an incredible view right over the penguins, the host was so friendly and they were so welcoming to our toddler too. One thing to note is that it is a good idea to bring groceries if you don’t have your own car as it’s a bit out of the town and no evening restaurants nearby. We went to a little convenience store which was walking distance for the first night then used the Tuk Tuks for the other nights which worked well.

Nothing

Cute cottage set in lovely gardens with perfect views of the bay and the penguins! The garden gate leads you to the boardwalk where you can see the penguins and rock hyrax right up next to the path before you even enter the national park area. The apartment is run by a lovely family who were extremely accommodating and drove me out to pick up some supplies as we arrived late and hadn't eaten. So kind of them. We'd love to return and stay longer if we get the chance.

I finished my comment on my first stay at Bosky Dell on July 17th, 2019 with the Schwarzenegger quotation "I'll be back". And I returned! To to COVID the gap was much longer than planned, however, during a time in that vaccination certificates seem to outrule passports and visa, it was an outstanding pleasure to be back at Bosky Dell! I stayed at "Stables", a self-catering unit that is quite comfortable for two persons. There is a large garden outside to be shared with the owner's friendly dogs, Leila and Dusty. It also has BBQ facilities. The proximity to the penguin colony in Boulders is unequalled. If there were not Leila and Dusty on duty, I believe the penguins would stroll around here. Thanks!
