Great hotel. Superior staff and owner.

Good, safe location away from city center. Karen was outstanding and very helpful to make sure our family with 3 children were comfortable and well taken care of on our short trip from the US. She's very helpful, organized, and caring! Highly recommend if looking to stay away from the city.

Wonderful stay at Blue Horizon guest house!

We highly recommend this guest house. The owner (Karen) went out of her way to be accommodating, nothing was too much bother, we stayed there for 11 nights. The breakfast was great and set you up for the day, Karen was there to greet you every morning for breakfast, she was always smiling and happy and eager to ensure you were happy with your stay! Thoroughly recommend this place :)

Absolutely fantastic!

The Blue Horizon Guest House was outstanding. The proprietor was so helpful and kind. We had to leave early on an excursion one morning and she packed us a great 'take away' breakfast since we left to early to get our sit down breakfast. The rooms were positively lovely with fabulous bathrooms and a supremely comfortable bed. The complex was very quiet and had a wonderful 'ambiance'. It is about a 30-40 minute drive outside of Capetown proper called Gordon's Bay, so you will need a car to stay there. The coast line from Capetown towards the East is really beautiful as is the countryside inland. I would stay there again if I'm ever in Capetown. Loved it!
