I want to congratulate Nadeem and Yoliswa for this recognition of their great dedication to excellence running this beautiful place. I miss my experience there and can't wait to be able to return. My best to both of you, you made a memorable and lasting experience for us. Anyone choosing this jewel in Cape Town will be agreement with us.

Another quaint and charming small guest house that seem to be a speciality in South Africa. Yolishwa fixed brilliant eggs and mushrooms. Nadeem was an engaging guide and really gave me a strong sense of the surrounding areas and culture. I left with a smile on my face.

...This is how you feel at Blue On Blue Bed and Breakfast. Looking out at the sea, you are floating above, your troubles crashing away with the sound of the waves. OK, perhaps I am getting too poetic as it is late tonight, but this has been a wonderful stay so far. Cheery interior decorations of local arte bring a... More

We loved the 4 nights we spent at the Blue On Blue. The setting, nestled on the hillside amongst other residences with established gardens and wonderful views of the ocean from the bedrooms and from the terrace, this place is just a dream! It is easily accessible by car or train, 2 minutes to beautiful walks along the ocean and... More

We loved Blue on Blue! The location in picturesque St James was perfect for our wanderings into other areas of the Cape or for relaxing with a good book and gorgeous view. Lovely gardens, vineyards and the many sights of Capetown are all easily accessable from this beautiful setting. Because our stay was short we were delighted and grateful to... More

All of my expectations were exceeded. A block from the ocean, with a view to prove it, in the heart of an area saturated with historical relevance (Cecil Rhodes' thatched roof cottage is less than a mile away) as well as art galleries and seaside shops. Nadeem and Yoliswa were ideal hosts, cooking up a delicious South African breakfast every... More

Had the pleasure of spending several nights. I really grew to love the place for both the location and the people. Hot breakfast got the day started right. Just being here gives you a clue about the best artwork to look for, and you can search to your hearts content in the shops within walking distance, then catch a meal... More

On our first trip to S Africa we chose this delightful B & B and we feel it was absolutely the right choice. The personal touch from Nadeem and Yoliswa really made the difference while we were in their care. Wonderful hot breakfasts or cereal and yougurt with the freshest fruit got us going in the morning and with Nadeem... More
