Our stay at Bosky Dell was more than positive. The hospitable welcome by Launa, the beautiful view and homely accommodation was so special.

Beautiful place with the most beautiful view.
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.

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.

Perfect penguins location.
The perfect location for the penguin experience and private beach access with pristine porch views. However, that's all that is special, the accommodation does not exceed any expectations for a self-catering unit.

Wonderful location, definitely worth a weekend break in Simon's Town.
Bosky Dell is ideally located near Boulder Beach in Simon's Town. The facilities are comfortable and have everything you need. We really enjoyed walking to the beautiful beaches with our baby girl and the day to spend watching the penguins and tourists.

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!

Thank you for your review Glyn. It was a pleasure to meet you and you lovely wife. We have addressed the issue of noise disturbance by a neighbour and hopefully the Simon's Town Ward Councillor who is handling the complaint will ensure that this never happens again!

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.

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.

We had a nice time. The unit is small and is going to get a "revamp", which is necessary. The location was very good and we enjoyed it.

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.
