Lord Nelson Inn

About Lord Nelson Inn

The Lord Nelson Inn in Simon's Town offers a charming, historic escape that beautifully merges old-world colonial character with modern comfort. Guests frequently praise the exceptionally friendly and attentive staff who create a welcoming, personal atmosphere, often making visitors feel right at home. The 10 en-suite rooms are neatly appointed—some featuring balconies with views of the bay—though those facing the street can experience some morning traffic noise. With its central location within walking distance of the South African Naval Museum and a short drive to the penguins at Boulders Beach, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the Cape Peninsula. Whether you're enjoying a freshly prepared breakfast or relaxing in the cozy bar, the inn provides a nostalgic and reliable stay with plenty of personality.
