Amazing hotel and staff! Totally outstanding in every way. Our room and the view was stunning. It was a 2 minute walk to the penguin’s gate. The only thing i would change would have been to stay longer than 2 nights.

Tintswalo Boulders way surpassed expectations in every way. The view is amazing and add to that the opportunity to see and hear the penguins. The food was fresh and well done at each meal. The staff went over and above to meet and exceed every need. If that isn’t enough wait until you walk through the doors to your room….AMAZING TO SAY THE LEAST. We hope to return in the future.

Wonderful hotel with only a few rooms. They have a private chef preparing the meals for you. It’s pure luxury. I have stayed in many hotels in my life, maybe 300, and this one is to be considered very special and outstanding. Top 3%.

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.

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.
