Bluebottle Guest House

Bluebottle Guest House is located on the slopes of Muizenberg Mountain, halfway between Table Mountain and Cape Point. It is the ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A full South African breakfast is included in the room rate and lunch or dinner can also be served on prior arrangement.

All of our rooms feature king-size beds and stunning sea, mountain and lake views. We also offer picnic lunches which you can enjoy on the numerous hikes or beaches in the area. We are located in close proximity to a wide variety of shops and restaurants, and are a five-minute walk to Surfer's Corner at Muizenberg beach.

Muizenberg is a 20-minute drive from the city centre and about 25 minutes from Cape Town International Airport. There are a number of famous tourist landmarks in the area, such as Cape Point Nature Reserve, the penguins at Boulders Beach, and the historic Naval Base in Simons Town. All major highways and main roads are easily accessible from Muizenberg. In addition, there are car hire companies in the area as well as a railway station within walking distance from the guest house.

"Great views"

06 January 2022

"Friendly and helpful staff. If you are looking for a Guesthouse experience, then Bluebottle will not disappoint. Excellent views, close to beach and amenities, and well appointed, but be warned - if you are not able to climb stairs then this establishment is not for you."
"The outstanding view and hospitality"

"Although we only stayed one night, it was worth every rand"
"The stairs!"

27 August 2018

"We booked 3 rooms for a Friday and Saturday night. Rooms were big and comfortable, decor was so interesting, quite a few pieces I would have loved for mu own home. The highlites were the mosaic decor on the steps and the views, plus the charm of Andrew, Taryn and Dee!"
"Bluebottle Review"

"I would have liked to know that i do not have a bathroom in my room - but because the guest house wasn't so busy i was okay with that. Other than that, i loved the place. Great service."
"The lovely environment and service"

06 November 2017

"It was an absolutely wonderful experience to stay at the Bluebottle Guest House in Muizenburg. The room was absoluely beautiful and the hostess was so freindly, warm and welcoming. The outdoor balcony and view was also lovely and the breakfast in the morning was top class. 5 stars!!!"
"Killer stairs"

14 August 2017

"The 120 odd stairs 4 houses up to get to the establishment is a killer. The room is mediocre at its best, with curtains that do not close all the way. In this modern era visitors require 2 bed sheets for hygiene and comfort - a single sheet covering the mattress only is below tourism standards. The saying "getting between the sheets" has a meaning! Leaving one's vehicle down below in the street adds to the overall feeling of mediocre and discomfort."
"Every Step"

"Every step was enjoyable"
"Amazing stay"

19 November 2014

"We enjoyed our stay at Bluebottle Guest House very much. We had a room with sea view and missed nothing there. Coffee, tea and a honesty bar with beer, soft drinks, wine and Chips was available. Taryn and Andrew are excellent host who prepared a delicious breakfast with ham, eggs, fresh fruit salad, muesli, toast, jam, etc. every morning for us. The 130 steps are a good exercise and comparable to a flat on the 4th floor."
"Good view"

"We had a wonderful time but the first day was difficult for me because of the dogs and the long stairs. The second day I got used to the place/environment. Thanks to the owners of Bluebottle for taking good care of us."

"Pleasant and peaceful"

02 January 2008

"As we were there for only a week we tried doing everything we could, so we were out most of the day time, but when we returned after a day of adventure our stay at Bluebottle Guesthouse was very pleasant and peaceful. Taryn and Andrew were exceptional hosts and made a great breakfast."

"A wonderful return to Africa"

03 December 2006

"We had a wonderful time at Bluebottle. It was my first trip back to Africa for 14 years and I had always wanted to visit South Africa but circumstances prevented me. The warm welcome great hospitality and lovely atmosphere really made us feel at home and reminded me of the African generousity and friendship I had experienced before. The position of the Guest House was amazing and by the end of the stay I felt a lot fitter after conquering the steps up to the accommodation.!!I really hope to return before too long. Thank you for all you did to make our stay so happy."
