hey thats my home town!
Guesthouse near the beach is a good idea. The west coast (camps bay, hout bay) is a lot nicer, but the water is fakken ARCTIC! you cant actually swim in it you just dip in. But those are definitely the more beautiful beaches.. especially the ladies. The east coast (simons town, vishoek) has much nicer water but the beaches are a little dirty and crowded.. and it's not really advisable to just leave valuable stuff lying around on the bigger beaches. but there are plently secret little alcoves and stuff.
As for transport, unless you're in camps bay you'll be pretty far from the city, so if you plan on hitting clubs n bars you'll need a cab. You can take a train during the day (just make sure its 1st class) but after dark there's NO transport so again you're taking cabs.
So if you planning on boozing every night, stay in the city and travel out by day. You you wanna just loung on the beach and perve head for camps bay or llandudno. If you want to swim and surf and tan and all of it, try find a place in Simons Town its a very charming little spot.
