Tintswalo Boulders is a boutique villa in Simon’s Town, set directly above Boulders Beach with uninterrupted views over False Bay and direct access to the famous African penguin colony. The property feels more like a private coastal home than a hotel, with just a handful of individually designed suites spread across multiple levels. The experience is calm, personal, and deeply connected to its setting, where mornings begin with ocean views and evenings unfold with the sound of the sea below.

Our Favorite Rooms

Tintswalo Boulders offers a mix of Premier, Superior, Standard Sea-Facing, Luxury, and one Courtyard Suite. The Premier Sea-Facing Suites are the standout, with elevated positions, large private balconies, and direct access to the pool area, offering the best views over Boulders Beach. The Superior and Standard Sea-Facing Suites sit lower, with smaller balconies and direct access towards the penguin boardwalk. The Luxury Suites have side sea views without balconies, while the Courtyard Suite offers privacy but no ocean view. Across all categories, expect elegant, individually styled rooms with en suite bathrooms and a strong residential feel.

Dining

Dining is personal and relaxed, with breakfast included and served overlooking the ocean. Additional meals can be arranged, often enjoyed in an intimate, almost private dining setting with a strong focus on quality and atmosphere. For dinner there are some great restaurants in the area.

Insider Tips

Use the private gate access to the penguin boardwalk early in the morning or late afternoon, this is when it feels most exclusive and quiet.
