ESTABLISHED IN 1828

Gracefully Perched In The Quaint Coastal Embrace Of Simon’s Town.

The Willets Hotel epitomises a retreat where historical elegance is reimagined with an eclectic flair. This sanctuary, set against the Victorian charm of Cape Town’s famed peninsula, not only preserves the architectural splendour within its walls but also offers a front-row seat to the serene symphony of whispering seas and the steadfast gaze of rugged mountains—a vivid testament to a richly storied past.

Every corner of the hotel is a meticulously curated blend of past and present, a rich tapestry woven from bespoke comfort, artisanal craftsmanship, and the serene, timeless vistas of Simon’s Kloof and the yacht-strewn bay.
