Also known as the Northern Atlantic Seaboard, Blaauwberg accommodation comprises the suburbs of Blouberg, Milnerton, Big Bay, Table View, and other suburbs. The area spans across 48 kilometres of sandy white beaches, all boasting the most incredible views of Devil’s Peak, Table Mountain and Lion’s Head, as well as Robben Island – the prison where former president Nelson Mandela spent many years of his life. Along with its excellent beaches, this area also boasts a range of restaurants, bars and shopping destinations that include Canal Walk at Century City. This area also acts as the gateway to the Cape West Coast, making it easy to head off on a road trip during your holiday.
Whether you are looking for a peaceful area that is less than half an hour from the Cape Town CBD, or you are longing to be based near the beach, accommodation in Blaauwberg has something for every visitor.
Why Book Blaauwberg Accommodation?
Blaauwberg accommodation includes a diversity of affordable apartments, holiday homes and cottages that are near the beach. Somewhat more accessible than Atlantic Seaboard accommodation, this area is ideal for family holidays, romantic breaks, holidays and even business travel for those wanting to be a little way out of the city.
Some of the top reasons to book your Blaauwberg accommodation include the following:
- Diverse accommodation. With a wide range of places to stay in Blaauwberg, from modern apartments to affordable holiday homes, this area offers plenty of diversity. Accommodation here is often more affordable than it is in areas such as Clifton and Camps Bay. Many of our fine self catering apartments are in easy reach of the beach. One of our most popular suburbs in this region is without a doubt Blouberg. This is where some of the best views of Table Mountain are enjoyed, along with spacious holiday homes that offer the very best of laid-back coastal living. Whether your budget and requirements may be, you are sure to find something in our collection of properties that cater to every guest.
- Wining and dining. There are a number of restaurants and bars found in this part of the city. In Blouberg, right on the beach, lies the Blue Peter – a relaxed beach bar and restaurant that serves up seafood and other favourites. You can take a walk on the beach after lunch, enjoying those famous views and getting some fresh air. Also in Blouberg lies Moyo Blouberg, offering the quintessential African dining experience that this hospitality chain has become famous for providing its guests. Other notable dining spots include Blowfish, which is located at the Dolphin Beach Hotel on Marine Drive in Table View. This smart restaurant serves sushi and a range of delectable seafood dishes, along with wine, beers and cocktails. In Big Bay, you will find Col’Cacchio Pizzeria, while other restaurants in the general area include Primi Piatti, Captain’s Kitchen, The Angus Grill and many others.
- Shopping. There are a few note-worthy shopping centres here. The largest of them is without a doubt Canal Walk, which is located within Century City. This massive mall is home to a huge variety of shops selling everything from clothing to accessories, shoes, electronics, books and speciality services. There are also cinemas, restaurants, coffee shops and facilities here. Other shopping centres include Paddocks, in Milnerton. This mall may not be as massive as Canal Walk, but it has everything you may need during your stay, along with cafes and interesting shops to explore. Other shopping options in the greater area include Bayside Mall in Blouberg, Seaside Village Shopping Centre and Eden On the Bay in Big Bay, Table View Shopping Centre and Flamingo Square Centre in Table View, and Westport Square in West Beach.
- Entertainment. There is a fair bit to do after both day and night in the area as well. Canal Walk is home to cinemas, as we briefly mentioned above. The Galileo Open Air Cinema at Century City is located in Central Park, offering outdoor movies during the summer months. Moyo Blouberg is always an experience to remember, with African dancers, face painting and entertainment on offer, Killarney Raceway in Milnerton offers race track fun and games, SWAT Laser Tag and Paintball offers fun for the whole family in Melkbosstrand, and the theme park near Canal Walk, Ratanga Junction, also offers a great day out.
- Romance ready. With its dreamy views, lovely beaches, variety of restaurants and all-round peace and quiet, there are plenty of romantic Blaauwberg accommodation options out there. A number of our properties in this area include compact Blaauwberg apartments, which are ideal for couples. But we also offer more spacious holiday houses and villas that make you feel far from home. Whether you are visiting on holiday with your significant other, or planning a honeymoon in Cape Town, this area offers an affordable alternative to the busier areas. Although you will not be in the middle of the crowded suburbs, you will easily be able to get to attractions such as the V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay, Clifton Beaches, City Centre and Bo Kaap with the help of a hired car, taxi or Uber.
- Family-friendly. Blaauwberg is also ideal for families. Many of our properties include spacious holiday homes that have lots of space for little ones to run around and let off steam. With a fantastic location just minutes from a beach, this area is also great for those who like to explore.
