The Grosvenor Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect. The place beautiful. The breakfast delicious. Terrific hosts! A must!!"

Tintswalo Boulders

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was everything and more of what we expected. From the moment you arrived they made us feel especial. The hotel is in the perfect spot, right on Boulders Beach where the penguins are. The hotel facilities are superb and the staff is exceptional. The staff goes well beyond to make sure you get what you need. Breakfast and dinner were very good. Will go back to Tintswallow in a heartbeat. Our room facing the beach and magnificent views and sunrise to enjoy. This hotel is a deleite to stay in. Felt that we got more than what we paid for and that’s not usually common."

Boulders Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"I couldn’t actually go - I got stuck in hospital in Glasgow - but the family all went and had a brilliant time here. I didn’t know it had a pool - which was a real bonus for them - and it wasn’t where i thought - but right down beside the penguins. Family were all really happy with the accommodation. Barbara that owns the place was really helpful too- perfect host."
