“Moonglow Guesthouse struck me as a tranquil retreat, perched in a peaceful hillside neighborhood a short drive from Simon's Town. The personalized service, particularly Gillian's helpfulness, stood out, as did the promise of sea views from select rooms. While the Wi-Fi signal could be stronger, the home-cooked breakfast and comfy beds make it a worthwhile escape for those seeking relaxation.”
