Blue Hill Escape

 
 

Description

Blue Hill Escape offers guest house and self-catering accommodation in a 2300-hectare nature reserve in the Kouga Mountains in the Western Cape. The property lies to the west of the Baviaanskloof Wilderness area and shares two borders with the reserve.

We offer various accommodation options to suit a variety of travellers. In the main house we offer lovely bed and breakfast guest rooms with a shared bathroom, a spacious communal lounge with fireplace and an extensive library. Additional meals can be booked. The Kouga Double Room is a stylishly furnished, medium-sized room that catches the morning sun and has views of the protea-filled hillsides. The Outeniqua Family Room sleeps up to four people in two single beds and one bunk bed. Our Tsitsikamma Twin Room is a cosy unit, great for those who want to get out and about or enjoy a lie-in on the comfortable mattresses.

We have two self-catering units available; Swartberg is a newly thatched flat offering private accommodation with a view of the Swartberg mountains. The double bedroom is large and bright, with easy access to the comfortable lounge area and kitchen facilities. The modern bathroom with shower and bath has a view of the Bloukop mountain and the nearby sand-olive slopes. Braai facilities are available in the garden. Baviaans Cottage is perfect for those who want to get away from it all. The unit has no electricity and gas lamps, candles and stars light up the darkness. A gas stove, fridge and geyser offer all the modern comfort you need. There is a double bedroom, lounge with fireplace for cold nights, kitchen, and bathroom with shower. Braai facilities are available on the private verandah.

Activities on the property and in the surrounding area include hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching, wildlife watching, expert-led walks and visits to San caves, the Baviaanskloof, or a working farm.

Amazing breakaway
Jaco Visser, South Africa
09 January 2012
What an amazing place to go and switch off. This neat and clean establishment is surrounded by Karoo fynbos and steals your heart. The owners are friendly. I will definitely return here one day.
