Blue Crane Guest House is a highly recommended B&B with self catering option, providing accommodation in Somerset West for tourists visiting the Cape Helderberg region.

About Blue Crane Guest House

Set at the foot of the majestic Helderberg and against the rugged Hottentots Holland Mountains, the Blue Crane Guest House nestles in the heart of Parel Vallei, a safe and up market suburb of Somerset West, only a 40 minute drive from Cape Town.

At the Blue Crane Guest House, a short garden path leads guests from the secure off street parking through a private entrance onto a covered terrace. Here visitors are greeted with a welcoming view of the sparkling main pool and heated 8-seater cocktail pool, set in the lush garden with the Helderberg Mountain completing the background, a picture epitomising extreme tranquillity and an unsurpassed privacy.

With the historic blue-gum trees towering throughout, the 2200 square meter property is blessed with added protection and shelter against the prevailing summer winds, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere around the furnished pool deck, the perfect venue to enjoy some of the best wines the Cape has on offer.

Somerset West Accommodation

Luxuriously furnished double en-suite bedrooms leading off the entrance terrace make up the exclusive accommodation offered at the Blue Crane Guest House.

The tastefully decorated rooms all have TV (South African channels, six DSTV channels as well as one German channel) and are furnished with extra-length King-size beds (twin bed rooms are available on request). A fully equipped kitchenette including microwave and fridge is standard in all the rooms as well as coffee and tea making facilities.

Every room has a private bathroom, fully tiled and with a generous shower. Two of which are available with a shower as well as a bath. All rooms have air-conditioning units for both heating as well as cooling.

Drinks & Cuisine

An honesty bar with a selection of good wines as well as a wide choice of alcoholic beverages is available on site. For the B&B guests a sensational continental breakfast buffet is served in the elegant dining room which is free-flowing onto the pool deck.

A weekly BBQ evening gives guests the opportunity to exchange their unique African experiences and share the warm South African hospitality together with the exotic game and fish cuisine so unique to this beautiful country.

Alternatively free internet access and email facilities are provided for at the reservation desk during the day, from where owner-managers Brigitte and Werner will also help with bookings for golf courses, car rental and local restaurants just to name a few.
