This was a longer stay choice during our cape visit as the price was right, and we found the location to be quite nice for the day trips we wanted to do. It seems to be midway between the city center, cape point and township communities...and whichever direction you drive in, the rides were lovely. As for the place itself,... More

i had to spend at least one portion of my trip overlooking the ocean and this spot gave that to me 100% its tucked away in a quaint town that is nevertheless conveniently close to the city centre, although the little shops and eateries nearby quite suffice for windowshopping and nourishment (gelato, too!). breakfast is quite nice and chilling on...

My wife and I enjoyed our delayed honeymoon 32 years later in a dream place. Tom and his team delivered on their promise and our holiday of 7xnights had it all from the airport, a joyous welcome, shown to our beautiful and comfortable room with panarramic views and waking up to a well prepared breakfast in the delightful coloured dining...

Made Blue On Blue our home (eKhaya) during a five day trip to the Western Cape. Great access to Cape Town, Cape Point, Stellenbosch and beyond. Nestled in St. James, Blue On Blue has wonderful arts, recreation, and dining options within walking distance. Personally recommend Cape to Cuba in Kalk Bay down the street! The rooms are wonderfully decorated with... More

as b&bs go this one is a little different. of course it has all of the usual things - tasty breakfast, helpful friendly staff and a nice location for those who want to be a little bit tucked away from the activity of the city... but it also has wonderful locally made art that not only pleases your eye but...

We stayed five nights at Blue and Blue and had the most wonderful time. The hosts were very nice and helpful, and the rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated, with a magnificent sea view. The breakfast was very good, with a fresh fruit platter every day. The closest tidal pool, where you can swim, is only a couple of minutes... More

Blue on Blue, located in beautiful St. James Beach is the perfect place to stay on your trip to Cape Town. The crashing waves of the Atlantic echo throughout the charming house, and spacious, clean, and decorative rooms make each day and night very comfortable. Whether you want to relax on the patio overlooking the ocean, walk to the beach... More

I was blessed with the chance to stay at Blue on Blue on my first adventure to Cape Town. This gorgeous B&B is tucked away in a hillside outside of Cape Town in an area called St. James Beach. St James is an adorable beach town with restaurants and a boardwalk running along the beach, connecting it to other beautiful... More

the crashing surf is still ringing pleasantly in my ears. such lovely views and a warm staff. nice breakfast and artwork everywhere you turn, most of it supporting and celebrating locals. i also was enticed to visit the community project that the owners have founded and was extremely moved, especially at the local input and emphasis on sustainability. bravo!
