Perfek. Wens ons kon langer bly.

Ons verblyf by Bosky Dell was meer as positief. Die gasvrye verwelkoming deur Launa, die pragtige uitsig en huislike verblyf was so spesiaal.

Pragtige plekkie met die mooiste uitsig.

Baie vriendelike gasvrou, en is baie vriendelik ontvang. Die eenheid is baie goed ingerig. Skoon en 'n vreeslike huislike atmosfeer wat mens dadelik tuis laat voel. Die hek by die ingang wat elke keer oop- en toegesluit moet word was net bietjie ongerieflik. Sal definitief plek weer besoek.

Very friendly hostess, and was received very kindly. The unit is very well furnished. Clean and a very homely atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The gate at the entrance that has to be opened and closed every time was just a bit inconvenient. Will definitely visit place again.

Short break with family taking advantage of good winter weather.

We absolutely loved the house - an unbeatable location with incredible views and access to Boulders. House was more spacious than I had imagined from the photos and there was enough space for our large family. The hosts were really friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Karaktervolle akkommodasie met méér as net die perfekte uitsig!

Ons was in die koetshuis, en dit was eenvoudig awesome! Slaapkamer en badkamer mét 'n lieflike, oorspronklike, outydse bad op pote op die boonste verdieping. Die trap daarheen is steil, maar 'n klein meesterstuk van vernuf. Ek wou dit steel. Die slaapkamer het heerlike ventilasie vanuit, onder andere, 'n verrassende vloerhoogte-venster wat 'n onverwagse uitsig oor die oseaan bied. Die oopplan leefarea op die grondvloer is huislik gemeubileer met die nodige, en het outydse skuifraamvensters en 'n staldeur waardeur die see en rotse en al die kusdorpies aan die oorkant van die baai sigbaar is. 'n Gesellige stoepie aan die voorkant van hierdie huisie het sy eie ingeboude braai en sitplek onder n druiweprieël. Dit bied welkome skadu op 'n sonnige dag en sommer net 'n baie private plekkie vanwaar mens na mense kan kyk by Boulders, pikkewyne op die rotse raak te sien, die see se veranderende kleure en getye te bewonder, en saans die veraf bekoorlikheid van kusdorpies se liggies gade te slaan. Launa is 'n gasvrou duisend wat geen moeite ontsien om haar gaste tuis te laat voel en hul gemak te verseker nie. Sy is 'n wandelende bron van inligting oor alles en nog omtrent die area. Ons plekkie was deurgaans netjies gehou en skoongemaak deur personeel wat soos skimme in die agtergrond beweeg. Bosky Dell is troeteldiervriendelik, en die twee Kolliehonde op die perseel (Dusty en Leyla) sal enige hondeliefhebber se hart verower. Launa word bygestaan deur haar dogter Courtney, en saam vorm hulle 'n uiters bekwame span wat hierdie gastehuis bestuur. As rus en vrede, privaatheid en nabyheid aan die see/rotse, unieke opgeknapte akkommodasie met die bekoring van weleer, en loopafstand na die oulikste dorpie met méér as genoeg restaurantjies jou vereistes is, móét jy Bosky Dell oorweeg. Ons sal weer en weer en weer teruggaan.

Characterful accommodation with more than just the perfect view!

We were in the carriage house, and it was simply awesome! Bedroom and bathroom with a lovely, original, old fashioned bathtub on legs on the top floor. The staircase to it is steep, but a small masterpiece of ingenuity. I wanted to steal it. The bedroom has wonderful ventilation from, among other things, a surprising floor-height window that offers an unexpected view of the ocean. The open-plan living area on the ground floor is homely furnished with the necessary, and has old-fashioned sash windows and a stable door through which the sea and rocks and all the coastal villages on the other side of the bay are visible. A cozy porch at the front of this cottage has its own built-in braai and seating under a grape arbor. It offers welcome shade on a sunny day and just a very private spot from which to people watch at Boulders, spot penguins on the rocks, admire the sea's changing colors and tides, and in the evening the distant charm of watching coastal villages lightly. Launa is a hostess who spares no effort to make her guests feel at home and ensure their comfort. She is a walking source of information about everything and anything about the area. Our place was always kept tidy and cleaned by staff who move like ghosts in the background. Bosky Dell is pet friendly, and the two Collie dogs on site (Dusty and Leyla) will win any dog lover's heart. Launa is assisted by her daughter Courtney, and together they form an extremely capable team that runs this guest house. If peace and quiet, privacy and proximity to the sea/rocks, unique renovated accommodation with the charm of yesteryear, and walking distance to the cutest village with more than enough restaurants are your requirements, you should consider Bosky Dell. We will go back again and again and again.

Perfekte pikkewyne-ligging.

Die perfekte ligging vir die pikkewyn-belewenis en privaat strand toegang met ongerepte stoep-uitsig. Dis egter al wat spesiaal is, die akkommodasie oortref geen verwagtinge vir 'n selfsorg-eenheid nie.

Wonderlike ligging, beslis die moeite werd vir ‘n wegbreeknaweek in Simonstad.

Bosky Dell is ideaal geleë naby Boulder strand in Simonstad. Die fasiliteite is gemaklik en het alles wat mens nodig het. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet om na die beeldskone strande toe te stap met ons baba-dogtertjie en die dag daar te spandeer om na die pikkewyne en toeriste te kyk.

Fantastiese, rustieke, regte ou strandhuis ervaring.

Die plek is fantasties in fantastiese ligging. Lorna die bestuurder was buitengewoon hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Ongelukkig het die munisipaliteit van Simonstad 'n ernstige interne probleem om besluite te neem oor partytjie-venues wat alle akkommodasie in die boulders-area beïnvloed. Dit was glo 'n enkele geval terwyl ons daar gebly het, maar het die perfekte scenario gedemp vir 'n kort periode. Simonstad Munisipaliteit! Kry julle prioriteite in orde!

Great, rustic, real old beach house experience.

The place is fantastic in fantastic location. Lorna the manager was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the municipality of Simonstad has a serious internal problem in making decisions about party venues that affects all accommodation in the boulders area. It was apparently a single case while we were there, but dampened the perfect scenario for a short period. Simonstad Municipality! Get your priorities in order!

Heerlik.

Dit is 'n ongelooflike plek en ons het die naweek vreeslik geniet. Die ou "plaashuis" is perfek. Dit het 2 leefareas wat werk as mens klein kinders het en die uitsig vanuit elke venster en vanaf die stoep was besonders. Die huis was netjies, goed toegerus en die beddens vreeslik gemaklik. Daar is baie om te doen in die omgewing, maar ons naweek was te kort. Ek wens ek kon nog meer tyd op die stoep deurbring. Was wonderlik om net daar te kon sit en vir die see, dassies, bote en pikkewyne kyk. Die erf is groot en daar is baie spasie - my kinders het dit baie geniet. Ek sal vir seker weer gaan. Die enigste "negatief" wat ek aan kan dink, was dat die WiFi en ontvangs nie baie goed is nie, maar dit het ons glad nie gepla nie. Ek dink reeds aan wanneer ons weer kan gaan.

Delicious.

It's an amazing place and we enjoyed the weekend tremendously. The old "farm house" is perfect. It has 2 living areas which works if you have small children and the view from every window and from the veranda was exceptional. The house was tidy, well equipped and the beds extremely comfortable. There is a lot to do in the area, but our weekend was too short. I wish I could spend even more time on the porch. It was wonderful to be able to just sit there and watch the sea, badgers, boats and penguins. The yard is big and there is a lot of space - my children really enjoyed it. I will go again for sure. The only "negative" I can think of was that the WiFi and reception is not very good, but it didn't bother us at all. I'm already thinking about when we can go again.

A bit disappointing.

On Friday I decided that we need a break away. I checked the weather services at Simonstown and sure enough, rain over the weekend. But I love rain, it was the Springbok vs. England rugby game on Saturday 23 June and there was the Soccer World Cup in Russia. Nothing wrong to hunker in the cabin with hot coffee or a whisky, in front of the TV while it’s raining outside and we can’t walk on the beach. And so on Friday afternoon I used my IT skills with the TV but to no avail. On Saturday morning our Canadian neighbour agreed that his TV is also not getting a signal. And thinking about the upcoming games, I consulted with the landlady. She concluded after a check that it seems that the signal is broken or something. Okay, disappointed! I mentioned that this is possibly the smallest TV I have ever seen, it was about 8 inches and a nice big TV could fit easily. She replied that they do not really cater for guests watching TV here; people come here for other reasons. Bam, under the chin. I did not mention that I’m a professional photographer and usually check my photos of the day on the big screen. But anyway, we enjoyed Simonstown and the beautiful environment.

Bosky Dell 's response

Dear Gerrit,

Thank you for your review. We were indeed blessed with the much needed rain over the period that you stayed at Bosky Dell. As I Am sure most people know by now, the Western Cape has suffered a massive drought over the last couple of years.

Unfortunately, the TV and DStv was not working, and as mentioned to you, we did call a technician who was only available to come out on Monday. Turns out that the dish received a nasty blow during the storm the day before you arrived.

Our TV's are small, we take pride in offering cosy, comfortable accommodation for nature lovers and not in-room entertainment as such. So our focus has not been on large screen TV's, however, we will most certainly look into the possibility as I do understand the need, especially when its raining and cold outside.
Once again thank you for taking the time to write the review.

Beslis geprys vir toeriste.

Ek het gemengde gevoelens teenoor Bosky Dell. Die ligging en die uitsig is ongelooflik mooi. Jy is amper op die strand en die feit dat jy kan sit by Bosky Dell en na die pikkewyne kyk is absoluut 'n bonus. Maar: Jy het die ongelooflike uitsig en sodra jy in jou woonstel instap is jy diep teleurgesteld. Vir wat jy betaal en wat jy ontvang is beslis nie 'n ster werd nie. Die woonstelle is oud en die dekor is vaal. Daar kort beslis 'n "upgrade". Vir R 1 800 per aand - verwag ek vir seker gemaklikheid. Dekor kan beslis meer modern wees - en geriewe kan verbeter. Ek verstaan as jy wil oudtyds gaan omdat die huis/eiendom geskiedenis het - maar genugtig, jy kan dit doen met styl en klas. Bosky Dell se diens, personeel en die ongelooflike mooi uitsig op Boulders Beach verdien beslis 5 sterre. Maar die eenhede verdien beslis 'n upgrade. En juis hieroor sal ek nie Bosky Dell vir enige iemand aanbeveel nie. Jy betaal baie geld vir geen gemaklikheid.

Definitely priced for tourists.

I have mixed feelings towards Bosky Dell. The location and the view are incredibly beautiful. You are almost on the beach and the fact that you can sit at Bosky Dell and watch the penguins is an absolute bonus. But: You have the incredible view and as soon as you walk into your apartment you are deeply disappointed. For what you pay and what you receive is definitely not worth a star. The apartments are old and the decor is bland. It definitely needs an "upgrade". For R 1 800 per night - I expect comfort for sure. Decor could definitely be more modern - and amenities could improve. I understand if you want to go old fashioned because the house/property has history - but seriously, you can do it with style and class. Bosky Dell's service, staff and the incredibly beautiful view of Boulders Beach definitely deserve 5 stars. But the units definitely deserve an upgrade. And precisely because of this, I would not recommend Bosky Dell to anyone. You pay a lot of money for no comfort.

Will miss relaxing with the Dassies and Penguins whilst enjoying the sunset. Will definitely visit again.

Beste ligging en pragtige, skoon kamer.

Baie dankie vir 'n wonderlike paar dae! Die beste ligging in Simonstad! 'n Baie skoon kamer (het in die Stables gebly) en voorteflike diens met die skoonmaak daarvan. Sal sekerlik weer oorbly! As jy die pikkewyne wil sien is dit die plek om te bly!

Best location and beautiful, clean room.

Thank you so much for a wonderful few days! The best location in Simonstad! A very clean room (stayed in the Stables) and excellent cleaning service. Will definitely stay again! If you want to see the penguins this is the place to stay!

Outstanding venue and cottage.

Exactly what I like about a seaside cottage. Could sit on that stoep for hours!
