Where Should You Stay for a Cape Town Honeymoon: City or Simon's Town?

Choosing between central Cape Town and Simon's Town is less about which is better and more about the pace you want.

Choose central Cape Town if nightlife, late dinners and a short ride to city attractions are the priority. Choose Simon's Town if you want sea views, quieter mornings and easier access to Boulders Beach, Cape Point and False Bay.

Why Simon's Town works for couples

A Simon's Town stay gives you room to slow down. You can start with breakfast overlooking False Bay, visit the penguins before the day-trip crowds build, and return for a relaxed afternoon by the pool. The route to Cape Point is also shorter and simpler than starting in the city.

How to combine both areas

For a longer honeymoon, a split stay often works best. Spend the first part near the city for restaurants, galleries and Table Mountain, then move south for two or three quieter nights on the Cape Peninsula. This reduces backtracking and gives the trip two distinct moods.

Practical details to check

Ask about airport transfers, secure parking if you are hiring a car, breakfast times and the minimum guest age. Aqua Terra Boutique Guesthouse has five suites, ocean views, breakfast, unlimited Wi-Fi, secure gated parking, a pool and a gym. Guests must be 12 or older.

The best choice

If your honeymoon is built around Cape Point, the penguins, ocean views and time together, Simon's Town is a strong base. If late-night city dining matters most, stay centrally or divide the trip between both areas.
