    Incredibly clean and beautiful house with spectular view and staff.

    Harder mattresses, but this is a personal preference of course.

    This has the most amazing location, the pictures can't capture the feeling you have when you are standing there in real life. The hostesses were super friendly and gave a lot of information about Cape Town and what to do. The house was extremely clean and had all the facilities you could ever want. It surpassed every expectation we had and they were already sky high.

    As soon as we arrived, we got warmly welcomed by Aissa (one of the owners). She showed us our room and brought us a Welcome-Drink. Afterwards she filled us in on all the information we needed to get the best out of our visit and to travel around Cape Town safely. Aissa was very helpful, booked a restaurant for us on our first evening and also helped us to plan a trip with a rental car. The staff was very friendly and helpful, whenever we needed something and the breakfast was good too. We immediately booked another 3 nights for when we get back from our trip to stay at this cozy place and enjoy the amazing view up there.

    The view was outstanding from the breakfast room. Breakfast was prepared to order and tasty. There were tables outside on the porch overlooking the harbor and Cape Town. A very comfortable stay with a friendly and helpful staff. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    So friendly and helpful. Arrived on an early flight but nothing was a problem.Given tea and biscuits and so much helpful information including switching to a cheaper SIM. Allowed me to head out exploring pretty much straight away, using Ubers to get around safely. Lovely staff who serve delicious breakfasts in the most beautiful setting on the balcony with views out to sea. The room was perfect as was the other areas of the house. Can help yourself to beer and wine from the fridge and pay in the honesty box then enjoy your drink in the peaceful gardens or on the balcony. Wish I could have stayed longer!

    It was perfect.

    Bluegum was perfect for us. We had a wonderful few days there annd were looked after so well. All the staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. On arrival Ughetta showed us around and then spent time giving us information about Cape Town. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. There were lots of extra little touches too. We felt at home there. When we had to rearrange our travel arrangements Ughetta helped us sort things out.

    No milk in the room, which means you have to walk to the kitchen, which is not far, but perhaps those little long life milk pockets could help.

    The view is amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful and the accommodation is neat and clean.

    Beautiful hotel, with stunning views! Aissa is an adorable and caring hostess and her sister too. We were told everything we needed about Capetown and beyond. A nice and tasty breakfast was served every morning. The hotel is very cozy and full of cute little things here and there. It was nice trip! Thank you Bluegum Hill Guesthouse 🌊
