Description

Perched on a quiet mountainside overlooking False Bay and the Cape Peninsula, Blue on Blue Bed & Breakfast offers 180 degree sea views and superior service in a tranquil setting.

As a small, 3-room establishment, we are uniquely qualified to provide you with a romantic escape and individualized service.

Your upper floor room rises above nearby buildings to overlook the Indian Ocean. Located moments from the beach, we offer an escape from the bustle of the nearby city, while still being conveniently located to enjoy the culture, shopping and nightlife of Cape Town, just 20 minutes away. From September-December, watch whales from the comfort of your room!

Enjoy a hearty breakfast in our dining room, or on the garden patio with a sea view. At the end of the day, return to relax in a deep bathtub.

The lounge features satellite television, a selection of DVD movies, portable DVD player, and a computer with high-speed internet access. Wireless access for laptop computers is also available.

The town of Saint James is ideally situated for visitors to the Cape. Nestled between the Silvermine Mountains and the warm Indian Ocean coastline, it offers one of the most spectacular locations in South Africa.

Saint James is a historically rich area, once considered the Riviera of South Africa where moguls like Cecil Rhodes established vacation homes.

Today, Saint James is home to a diverse community and offers something for the young and old alike -- local nightlife, restaurants, museums, and the areas famous antique shops and art boutiques.

Our particular passion is introducing guests to the work of local artists and making visits to their workshops to learn the process of their craft.

We also offer personalised guided tours to the Cape of Good Hope, Winelands, and other points of interest, as well as airport transfers.

More than a destination, Blue on Blue invites participation. We are proud to donate a portion of our profits to Art Aids Art, a non-profit organisation supporting local education and economic development through the arts.

Character: Blue On Blue is an Art Lover's Paradise, outfitted with South African craft. Fabrics, photographs and other handcrafts surround you with creativity -- which you can then experience with a trip to visit collectives where they are created!

Location: Blue On Blue is ideally located for day trips, as we are located midway between the Cape Point, Wine Route and downtown. Explore along the coastal route, or take advantage of our tour services!

Beach: We are 200 meters from Saint James Beach, a beautiful location with a protected tidal swimming pool and historic Victorian bathing huts. Just down the road is some of South Africa's best surfing.

Historical & Cultural: We have established close connections with local art collectives creating unique, high quality South African crafts. Visit our community art projects to see how small business development is transforming lives!

Outstanding Views: Spectacular sea and mountain views from each upper floor guest room. Watch whales surfacing (Aug-Dec). Ringed by mountains, a 2-minute walk leads to the top of Boyes Drive, with the most spectacular sunrise views in the country!

Very welcoming staff
COMMEIGNES MARC & CECILE , France
24 December 2011
We felt quite at home. We were attended to by kind people, in a neat and clean, sunny, and charmingly furnished house. The house is decorated in a colourful African style. The lady who helped prepare/organize our delicious breakfast and all of our needs, is very goodhearted. We will remember her as well as Nadheem. A unique fault is that there were no baboons in view; Nadheem would be a special baboon fighter. With this, the whole package would reach perfection.
Great

Our stay at Blue On Blue was everything that we had hoped for. The views are outstanding and the whales in the bay kept us entertained on a daily basis. Nadeem and Yoliswa went out of their way to be hospitable. The location is perfect with the beach close by and walks into the surrounding towns easily accessible.
Highly reccomended

10 February 2010
Nicely 'tucked' away establishment nestled in a tranquil setting with a vista of a view. Andre and I had the pleasure of occupying the luxury suite. Highly recommended. Lovely breakfasts with a very personal touch ala 'Chef Nadeem'. We truly enjoyed our stay - the location was perfect and only a brief walk away from the sea. Jacqui and Andre.
Don't miss the chance to stay at Blue on Blue!

I was a bit apprehensive about our journey to South Africa, but our stay at the Blue on Blue was the ideal way to put me at ease at start our two week trip. Before we left the States, we had several email exchanges with Tom who answered all of our questions and assisted us with such things as arranging a ride from the airport to getting us advanced tickets for our Robben Island tour. Once there, it was clear from the first enthusiastic greeting from Nadeem Davids that our stay was goin ... more
Excellent stay.

Nadeem was fantastic. Very friendly and his breakfast buffets are superb. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue-On-Blue and can only recommend it. It is ideal for St.James station and within easy driving of either the city (25 mins) or Cape Point. We took the train most evenings into Kalk Bay (1 stop) for dinner and walked home (15 mins stroll) on the well lit and well patrolled main street around 10pm. Additional info, as we prefer a twin room, we stayed in Curries Corner, which h ... more
