Amazing stay
Extremely friendly and attentive staff. The food cooked for us was amazing. We loved the views and being able to be around so many penguins on Boulder Beach, right outside our balcony. Exceeds all expectations.

Tintswalo Boulders is an excellent choice if you want to discover the wonders of the African Pinguin population near Boulders Beach. Our suite room was huge, tastefully decorated and squeaky clean. The breakfast choice is impeccable, the staff is extremely friendly and polite. Is has become rare to see a hotel/ guest house of this superb standard, led with enthusiasm, taste for beauty and respecting highest service standards. Small recommendation: to provide laundry bags in the cupboards and to make the bathroom door close without effort.

expensive but truly worth the money only five rooms available which makes it quite an individual experience awesome breakfast with very fresh orange juice and you can choose what will be cooked for you rooms are decorated very nicely, are spacious and cleaned while you have breakfast private entry to the penguins 🐧 awesome view from all rooms but especially from the roof top with the small swimming pool massage and facial treatment in the spa were very nice and reasonably priced, too - hope to see next time a sauna 😊

Perfect views of boulders beach
Beautiful B&B right on boulders beach with unobstructed views of the water! The best part of this B&B was the location. Would recommend staying 1 night to wake up early the following day and see the penguins. The staff are very friendly and helpful and property itself is very large and nicely styled.

I attended Mining INDABA 2025, and due to not booking my accommodation on time, I ended up staying in Simon's Town, which is an hr drive from the Conference Centre. Tinswalo is located in a quiet and predominantly white suburb of Cape Town. It offers breathtaking views, and the place is superb. I highly recommend it for couples going on holiday, honeymoon etc. Every day, while eating breakfast, I would overlook the penguins on the shores of the ocean. The staff were helpful and professional. I will definitely return with my wife.... Being a foodie person. i enjoyed every meal. talk of the Rooms clean and everything was flawless.....

We loved the location, facilities and hospitality at the Tintswalo! We didn’t realize how close it actually was to the boardwalk and viewing areas for the penguins at Boulders Beach. The views over False Bay were really nice also.

We had a wonderful stay here - the hotel is very homely and Kirsty the manager and team were incredibly welcoming. The views across Boulders Beach are stunning - the photos don’t do it justice! Would recommend eating in the restauraunt as there wasn’t much around that opened in the evening for food

A must stay in Cape Town!
Absolutely incredible stay! My friend and I were traveling for a few weeks and ended our stay here, couldn’t have been a better way to cap off the trip. Service: impeccable. They are accommodating and kind and so helpful. The food was AMAZING and the views were the best (we could see the penguins). I would tell everyone to stay here at least once in their life!

Excellent 5 Star Boutique in stunning location.
Ideal place to stay for a couple of nights to visit the penguins and Cape Point. genuine 5 Star luxury and charming service. Definitely book a room with view of the sea. In house catering is limited in choice but very good and the drinks range is comprehensive. Nothing not to like.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this lovely boutique hotel. We were warmly welcomed and the staff took wonderful care of us. We felt very much at home and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the comfortable bed and the lovely furnishings in every room. Food was very good. Short walk into town. The view is spectacular. I would recommend this location without any hesitations.

It is so close to the penguins you can hear them from the terraces, such a unique location. The staff were amazing, shout out to Darvey and Kirsty. Nothing was too much trouble, they were attentive and very customer service driven.

We came to Tintswalo at Boulders for our elopement and it was absolutely perfect. We were in the Water Witch suite which had outstanding views of the beach and penguins. Everyone was incredibly helpful, Dawie and Kristy were fabulous and even acted as our two witnesses for our marriage certificate. The chef is amazing and we were incredibly impressed and happy with the offerings at breakfast, dinner and sunset canapés. The only thing that would have made it better was if we were able to stay longer
