“Welcome Home!”

Our customers and suppliers could not stop complimenting the views, the vibes and the food. Most amazing food at all meals. Rooms are stunning with the most incredible views. Simola is really home away from home.

“Amazing service”

From the time we arrived to the time we left the staff we're fantastic. Nothing was to much trouble. The dinners were good, and breakfasts were excellent with a superb range.

“BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS BUT…”

The accommodation does not warrant 5 stars. Decor seems dated, lacks attention to detail, e.g. broken floor tiles in bathroom and dilapidated bathroom mirror frames. Lack of a lift to a second floor apartment should be pointed out upon booking for people who find stairs difficult. Breakfast service… more

For ZAR4800 a night more was expected.

“A departure from our first experience - Really dissapointed!”

We stayed at Simola on a family trip in 2024 (Easter). It ticked all the boxes and I gave a well deserved 5 star rating. The Pros- the reception and restaurant staff are stellar as ever. I was pleasantly surprised that they still remembered my daughter (they went all out for her birthday in 2024) … more

We stayed at Simola on a family trip in 2024 (Easter). It ticked all the boxes and I gave a well deserved 5 star rating. The Pros- the reception and restaurant staff are stellar as ever. I was pleasantly surprised that they still remembered my daughter (they went all out for her birthday in 2024) and they were ready to accommodate us for an earlier check in- thank you. The breakfast buffet is exactly what a 5 star breakfast service should be- delicious, lots of options and attention to detail. So HUGE THANK YOU! These staff deserve a raise. The cons- Unfortunately something has dramatically changed with the quality of the rooms and the cleaning service. We stayed in Unit 6D this time (2 bed suite). The unit was very poorly serviced and maintained. Carpets in the bedroom were damp and musty and had a lingering smell. The master bath had a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SMELL and the cleaning was piss poor. The bathroom had caked up dirt between grout lines and the corners were messy. The window in the toilet has not seen a damp rag in months. It was abysmal (and that is putting it lightly). Given that we were out most days (on a netball tour), I honestly hoped they would do better. Next day, the cleaning napkins were 'forgotten' on the kitchen island with all the grime and stuff. The bed was uncomfortable and barely made properly. It is clear the unit needs a serious upgrade, but what good will an upgrade do if it is not well maintained? If Simola has changed their cleaning staff in the last two years, allow me suggest you reverse that decision ASAP before the entire place is run down! On the whole, I was highly irritated staying at this place.
