Bluebottle Guest House  

Perched on the slopes of the Muizenberg mountains with views over False Bay, this Cape Town guesthouse is an easy 4-minute walk to Masque Theatre and about 12 minutes on foot to Muizenberg Beach. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s a low-key base for beach days, theatre nights and coastal drives.

A charming Victorian guesthouse with an intimate collection of individually decorated rooms. Most rooms open onto private balconies with sea or mountain views. Expect classic period bones mixed with modern comforts like daily housekeeping, hair dryers and complimentary toiletries.

Soak up sea-breeze mornings on the terrace and garden, book an onsite massage, or work up a sweat on the outdoor tennis court. The property also offers barbecue grills, a small library and concierge/tour assistance to arrange local activities — from surf lessons to boat trips.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property. Practical services include dry cleaning and laundry, luggage storage and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve meals and drinks, with room service available for in-room dining. A complimentary full breakfast is included to start your day before heading out to the beach.
