Be My Guest Lodge

Welcome to Be My Guest Lodge, situated in Bloubergstrand, the seaside village across the channel from Robben Island, yet conveniently close to the Mother City. The lodge is 32 km from Cape Town International Airport. All our rooms are en suite, with private entrances and patios leading into a beautiful shared garden with a swimming pool. If you need accommodation for a family or group of friends, the Family Cottage is your answer, situated in the garden next to the pool and equipped to sleep 6. The cottage has a full bathroom and a well-equipped kitchenette. This lovely guesthouse is only 20 minutes' drive from most of the major tourist attractions in and around Cape Town, such as The Waterfront, Table Mountain, and many other exciting places to visit on the Peninsula. With Cape Town International Airport 30 to 40 minutes away, guests also have easy access to the West Coast, the famous Boland Wine Routes, Worcester, and the Ceres Mountain Range with its snow-covered peaks during winter.

Area Info

Very easily, and obviously, confused with Bloubergstrand just north of it, the suburb of Bloubergrant lies north west of Cape Town, virtually opposite Robben Island, although visits to the island are from the Waterfront, not from this side of the island, and just south of the start of the beautiful West Coast of the Cape.

This part of Cape Town is a hive of modern upmarket beach condos, many of which have access directly to the white, sandy beaches that have become the playground of kitesurfers, windsurfers, wave surfers, and sun worshippers, never mind the incredible and much-marketed views of Table Mountain. You are a mere 15-minute drive from the centre of Cape Town and the V&A Waterfront and 10 minutes' away from Canal Walk shopping centre, renowned for its sheer size and entertainment value.

Locally, there are many restaurants, shopping centres, and golf courses to keep you well stocked and entertained, and there is little need to leave this enclave unless sight-seeing and experiencing other parts of Cape Town are on your itinerary list.

More importantly, Bloubergrant is the perfect springboard from which to explore the West Coast along the R27. Wine routes include the Swartland wine route and the Olifants River wine route, and many of the towns dotted in and around the R27 and N7 provide wine tasting: Malmesbury, Riebeek Kasteel, Citrusdal, Picketberg, Vredendal, and Klawer, to name a few.
