The guesthouse has a beautiful view of the beach and ocean, located on the slope. Room is cosy and all amenities (such as hair dryer, fridge, microwave) were available in the room. We went there with a rental car and car garage was available. It locates very close to one of the tidal pools and also some restaurants/ supermarkets.

The location is on the slope so it is better to use a car (it must be hard to walk up!). And it was super windy, although it must be seasonal. So it was much cooler than in Cape Town where we stayed just before.

The location and the view from the room were amazing. We saw an amazing sunrise while still in our bed and also a great for seeing the brilliant night sky (we were lucky with the weather on one day). Gillian was an amazing host and the morning breakfast prepared by her was so great! She also gave us great recommendations about things to do in and around town.

The Wifi was not working when we arrived and later when it worked the speed was slow. Also the MTN mobile network didn't have great coverage or LTE speeds in the room.

What a lovely guesthouse. The views. The room. The comfy bed. Gillian is a superb host - so attentive, polite and what a breakfast she cooks! I enjoyed using the light and airy communal area to catch up on work during the day - the views from the office were pretty epic that day. This place is conveniently located between Kalk Bay and Simon's Town where I ate at some superb restaurants. There's also a handy mini mall with two supermarkets, just a short walk away.

The hostess was really friendly and accommodating and was attentive to our needs, the rooms were kept clean and the room was comfortable and welcoming. The food was good and we had a nice view of the sea.

The dogs at the guesthouse were fairly aggressive when we first arrived which I understand as we are strangers but I didn't mind as much as I have had dogs myself before but for someone not familiar with them or small children this could be a scary experience for them. That being said they were fine with us after that so just be cautious when you first arrive.

The view was beautiful, and the room very attractive, with so many details considered to make my stay comfortable and restful. The breakfast was delicious; I really enjoyed the fruit salad followed by Full-English. The atmosphere in the whole guest-house was peaceful, comfortable and welcoming

The WiFi connection could have been stronger, and perhaps in the future provision could be made for it to continue during loadshedding. It wasn’t a major issue for me, having gone away to relax.

Moonglow is an exceptional B&B in all ways. The hostess is extremely accommodating, friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable with everything you many need during your stay. The breakfast was beautifully prepared and presented with the most delicious homemade Marmalade jam! The views are magnificent and the location was perfect for our needs. We'll definitely stay there again.

I have no negative comments regarding our stay at Moonglow - it couldn't have been better.

Moonglow was well signposted from the main road. We had a lovely welcome and a very pleasant stay. The owner was very friendly and accommodating and the views of the ocean were lovely. We were able to park our car in the garage overnight too which was a bonus.

Nothing. All good.

The location was great and the views were astonishing. Breakfast were well prepared. Great eating places nearby

Long walk up the hill. Safe was too small to take a tablet or laptop.

This was my favourite place in SA. The owner was so nice, the seaview with the sunrise just awesome, the breakfast tasty. All the little details in our room and in the structure made our stay perfect. We did an early morning swim in the tidal pool right under the B&B, perfect start into the day!

Really NOTHING!

The view from the balcony is a amazing. The room is super comfortable and caters to all your needs. If you do need anything additional there’s a honesty bar and a full kitchen you can use. The locations has amazing routes to run with relatively effortless access to the beach. It is also nearby most places to eat or have a drink.

The hill to get to the property can be a bit steep for small engine vehicles.
