Lovely spot - got here late after a late flight into CPT. Fairly easy to drive to from airport - and host was great to wait for us and welcome us well after 21h00 local time
Very nice property. Karen was so nice and helpful and so were the cleaning staff. The views of the bay are amazing! I would definitely stay here again.
This is our 4th stay at Blue Horizon and never fails in excellence. Mrs. McFarlane delivers personal and caring attention to her guests. Rooms spacious, clean and comfortable in addition full excellent breakfast.
Wir haben hier 2 Wochen am Stück super gewohnt und es gab kein Problem oder keine offene Frage, bei der uns die freundliche Gastgeberin Karen nicht sofort bestens geholfen hätte.... Jederzeit wieder!
Unterkunft befindet sich in einer eher wohlhabenden Lage mit schönem Blick auf die Bucht. Die Stadt erreicht man nur mit dem Auto. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich, die Zimmer mit hohem Standard, ebenso die Poollandschaft und der Garten. Frisches Frühstück mit grosser Auswahl an Eierspeisen.

Gute Unterkunft
Wir hatten durch die Bilder hier auf Expedia eine sehr große Erwartung, zumal es der Abschluss unserer Südafrika-Reise sein sollte. Als wir dann ankamen, wurden unsere Erwartungen nicht ganz erfüllt. Die Unterkunft ist gut, aber nicht überragend. Wir hatten mit unserem Zimmer wahrscheinlich noch Glück (Nummer 1), weil wir einen Teil des Blickes, der beworben wird, auch tatsächlich hatten. Den schönsten Blick, der den Fotos entspricht, hat man sicherlich oben aus den Zimmern mit Balkon, die sind aber leider privat.... und wenn man Pech hat, liegt das Zimmer weiter hinten raus und man hat gar keinen Blick bzw. eher einen Blick aufs Hinterland und nicht Richtung Meer.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig ausgestattet. Wie gesagt, alles gut, aber nicht außergewöhnlich. Der Pool ist mini und eher Deko ;-), eine etwas größere Badewanne. Aber das war uns nicht wichtig, wir waren sowieso mehr in der Gegend unterwegs und das Wetter war nicht so heiß.
do not hesitate ... Room #7 ... king bed, partial kitchen and panoramic view of the city/water .. absolutely beautiful. Own sitting area which we much appreciated and away from noise from the pool. Karen was the ultimate host .. we absolutely loved her and would definitely stay here again!!
Superb accommodation. Clean and so comfortable, especially the bed. Excellent breakfast. Manager Karen, helpful,friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again, first class!
Besonders hat uns die Lage gefallen , einen tollen Rundblick auf Berge und Bucht .
Das Eckzimmer mit Balkon ist erstklassig eingerichtet mit grossen Panoramafenstern, haben einen grandiosen Sonnenuntergang erlebt .
