Wonderful service & location. Girls are doing a one of a kind job. And I’ll repeat the note I left in the book in my room- people warned me aboot the baboons stealing my backpack... but nobody warned me about the Bluegum stealing my heart!

Personalized service in a delightful guesthouse
We loved our hosts at Bluegum who were helpful and friendly. We met nice travelers there as well. The guesthouse has a lovely view of Cape Town and a real local feel. It is comfortable and well appointed. The pool has an amazing view. Breakfast is delicious! If you aren't too fond of impersonal hotels and like the idea of very personalized service and advise, you will love the Bluegum Guesthouse!

A nice guest house in a very good area. Rooms super clean i was in a single room which was small but i had no problem. Good location about 20mins walk down a hill to waterfront. Great views from the balcony with a nice pool and seating area. I would recommend this to anyone, only drawback it's on top of a very steep hill so walking up is difficult, taxis uber are cheap enough. Aissa was very kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Great breakfast too. Thank you.

Blue Gum...by gum!!! get your crampons on!!!
Nice place, great view, but agony to access...one needed to be a mountain goat to ascend and descend the myriad steps down to the actual accommodation...shame because otherwise it was pretty nice.

Lovely spacious apartment.
Lovely well secured apartment up in the hills from Cape Town. Two bedrooms and a helpful owner. A garage so you don’t have to worry about your car. Superb views from your two balconies of Cape Town, Robben Island and the stadium. Waterfront a short drive away.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for a total of 4 nights and were extremely pleased. The house is in a quiet neighborhood on Signal Hill with views overlooking Cape Town and Robben Island. The proprietor Aissa helped us in many ways big and small before and during our stay in Cape Town and we would rate service as some of the best we have ever had. The house has a nice, well apportioned rooms, each of which is unique and has a large bathroom. The outdoor areas are wonderful to sit out on. The house has a nice selection of reasonably priced wines, craft beers, and other drinks and snacks. We were out the door early almost every day, so we only ate breakfast there once, but with some forewarning, they will make you a to go breakfast for the next day. The breakfast we ate there was excellent. The only possible con is that the location of the hotel in a quiet neighborhood means you might want to Uber to destinations in the city rather than walking, particularly after dark. The V and A waterfront is within sight of the hotel, but apparently Cape Town can get a little dicey at night (we did not have any issues). We did not see this as a problem, particularly on the night they had a deafening carnival celebration near some of the other hotels, but it is something to consider. Not only would we stay here again, but I doubt we would even bother looking at other places to stay if we return to Cape Town.

Stunning views and wonderful owners
Absolutely fantastic. The owners are so hospitable and accommodating. I was able to arrive early and drop off my bag (in fact, my room was ready for me when I arrived at 9am). They also allowed me to check out late on my last day, which was really generous. Very nice breakfast, including yogurt and fruit, eggs and toast, and french press coffee. The location is good; very quiet and peaceful away from the bustle of the city, but only a short taxi ride (or walk down the hill to catch the city bus) to the city centre. The pool area is well-maintained and the view is truly spectacular. They have a small bar/fridge with a decent selection of drinks. Free wifi with a reasonably fast connection. In short, it was everything I was looking for in a guesthouse.

Oppholdet vårt på Bluegum hill var helt fantastisk. Vi var syke da vi ankom og Aaissa tok var på oss som vår egen mor. Hun sørget for at vi hadde alt vi trengte og hjalp oss til legen etc. Selv om vi var sengeliggende var det et 10/10 opphold og vi kunne ikke valgt et bedre sted å tilbringe late dager mens vi ventet på å bli friske. Personalet er veldig hyggelig og gjestehuset er utrolig koselig med en fantastisk utsikt over Cape Town. Vi skulle gjerne blitt lenger og kommer gjerne tilbake!

Et fantastisk fint sted å bo i Cape Town. Topp hyggelig og hjelpsomt vertskap, nydelig utsikt fra fine uterom, deilig frokost og koselig sted. Herfra er det mulig å gå til og fra på dagtid. Vi brukte Uber som transportmiddel når vi ikke gikk. Raskt, sikkert, praktisk og billig. Helt sikkert vårt førstevalg for bosted neste gang vi er i Cape Town.
