Blaauwheim Guest House

At the foot of Helderberg Mountain in Somerset West, this upmarket 5-star guesthouse sits in the Cape Winelands — about 20 minutes from Cape Town International Airport and roughly 40 minutes from Cape Town centre. Close to Eikendal Winery, Root 44, Helderberg Nature Reserve and several golf clubs, it’s perfect for wine-country getaways, beach day trips, and mountain hikes. Offers bed & breakfast or self-catering accommodation.

Luxurious but relaxed, with just three individually decorated rooms. Rooms include private plunge pools, heated floors, memory-foam beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, minibars and flat-screen TVs. Many rooms open to furnished balconies or patios; bathrooms have separate tubs and showers with designer toiletries and bathrobes. The property provides 24-hour electricity and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Unwind at the full-service spa with massages, then cool off in the outdoor and indoor pools or your own plunge pool. Rent bicycles, try the on-site mini-golf, or fire up the BBQ in the garden and terrace. Concierge and wedding services are available; airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge. Expect calm mountain mornings and a quietly upscale vibe.

Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi throughout the property. Luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning services, roundtrip airport shuttle on request, and free self-parking. Front desk operates during limited hours.

On-site restaurant and bar serve guests, with full breakfasts available daily for a fee (morning service from about 7:30 AM). BBQ facilities are available on the grounds. Located in the heart of the Cape Winelands, the guesthouse is minutes from local wineries and countryside dining options.
