If you want an impersonal luxury hotel, this is not for you. If you want to feel like you are coming home after a long day of exploration, this is your place. There is usually some nice African or jazz music playing in the background, local artwork, and if it is cool outside maybe a fire in the fireplace. There... More

Absolutely fantastic, in fact this is without doubt the best guest house my wife and I have ever stayed in. Above everything is the wonderful hospitality of hosts Chris and Nikki, they make you feel so welcome and are always there to answer questions. On our first evening they arranged a taxi down to the waterfront for us and served... More

I always stay here when I come to cape town, and never regretted :-). The owners make you feel like being part of the family. They are always there to help, ask, organise our just chat. This very much helped me overcome the occasional insecurity I felt travelling south Africa alone! Great location, too: close to long street, but enough... More

After a long travel experience Lezard Bleu is one of the best guest houses I have stayed at or maybe THE best. Why? The hosts, Nicky and Chris, give you a very warm welcome and a comfy feeling in a jiffy. They will answer every question, no matter how difficult. They have a sense for the guest´s needs. They will... More

We were there in June for the first few days of our honeymoon and it was the perfect place to experience our first taste of South Africa. We arrived, very weary, off the red-eye from London and were warmly invited by our hosts to join them for breakfast – which was delicious and made us feel so much better! The... More

Lezard Bleu is the place to stay in Cape Town. Everything about this place is first-class, except the price, making a stay at Lezard Bleu a great value. The owners, Chris and Nikki, are exceedingly friendly and they, along with other staff, make you feel instantly at home. Their attention to detail, from the scrumptious breakfasts to the immaculate rooms,... More

We really enjoyed our stay at this guesthouse, in fact this was our second time staying here and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. We stayed 3 nights in the tree house - overlooking the pool. Chris, Nikki, their son Robbin and all the staff make you feel at home. Breakfast is lovely and the view... More

We can only echo all the previous comments about the wonderful warm hospitality, delightfully appointed rooms, beautiful peaceful garden & pool, sumptuous breakfast and stunning views. Real quality and good taste without being 'over the top' - we wholeheartedly recommend Lezard Bleu to anyone visiting Cape Town, and will definitely stay there when we return.
