This hotel is located away from the city but not too far. My room was gorgeous & very well maintained. It’s a boutique hotel so it’s almost like you’re staying in someone’s home bcs of the personal attention you receive. Ubers are very inexpensive so you can get to the main areas w/out spending too much money.

Excellent Hotel in Blouberg
Lovely boutique hotel in a nice quiet area on Sunset Beach, Blouberg. Direct access to the beach. The staff are brilliant and provide warm and efficient service. The room was comfortable, and the shower was excellent. The restaurant is rceommended and the breakfasts were cut above what you get in a larger establishment. The only slight negative was the bed was a bit soft (which is personal taste) and the Wifi signal was poor as we were at the end of the corridor. Recommended.

Had a great stay at Bliss. Incredibly friendly staff, great location for walking the dunes and the views of Cape Town and Table Mountain are breathtaking. The room was clean , quiet and large enough. The bathroom was modern, clean , plenty of towels and had a great walk in shower! Recommended location if you want a quieter place to stay in Cape Town than the hub bub of the Waterfront.

Bliss Boutique is more of a bed and breakfast type of accommodation. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and make you feel right at home. The made to order breakfast is an added bonus and the on-site chef make fabulous dinners and desserts. The rooftop is available for lounging and drinks and the path to the beach is easy. Uber rides to downtown are very affordable and the hotel contracts with a driver for airport or tours. We had a private wine tour that was very affordable and we were never rushed. Not walkable (other than the beach), but still convenient and very peaceful! Highly recommended! :)

The Hotel is very stupidly designed. Most of the rooms are on the ground floor and might be "facing the sea" but that view is blocked by the dunes completely. The breakfast is served on de 1st floor where also the kitchen is located. As a consequence everything served in the restaurant needs to be carried up the stairs, no elevator! That Breakfast room is way too large and that room has a perfect view over the ocean. Next to the breakfast room there is a "way too large" bar that is useless. A table at the side could have hosted the coffee machine etc. Who puts a " bar" of 5,5 metres in a Boutique Hotel with maybe 10-12 rooms. The rooms ar comfy but also very strangely designed. Normally the bed is on the opposite wall of the corridor that passes the bathroom. Here the first thing you face is the bed itself with a headrest. There is a small outside space that belongs to the room itself, but without separations between your room and the next. My neighbour brought his surfboard and kite and took up all of my space also. Nice staff that cater to your needs. Venessa, the manager, is super sweet. Works way too many hours and really makes you feel welcome. She deserves a 6 star rating

Excellent all round
In terms of service, decor, and attention to detail, this was one of the best places we stayed in South Africa. Every member of staff were switched on and attentive. The hotel was nicely decorated in a modern way. Comfy bed, solar heated pool. Notable was the quality of food for both breakfast and dinner. Amazing views from the restaurant, but well worth eating here for the food alone.

This pictures aren’t very accurate of the rooms or amenities. The deck outside our room was shared and not private with a direct view of the large dunes that block the ocean view. The bed was super comfy, but the shower didn’t work very well. Also, no real mirror to help dry your hair. Free breakfast was ok, nothing to write home about. The pool doesn’t sit facing the ocean,but faces another home. Finally, they lost our reservation for the last night, which was very disappointing. They offered another place across the street, but that is t what we wanted. The staff was very nice. Overall, it was an ok stay.

Coming out of the hotel and directly waddling the beach sand while facing Table Mountain in those tranquil mornings and evenings was pretty amazing and unforgettable. We really enjoyed our stay and felt rested after our holiday. The staff of the hotel was also very friendly and professional. Bliss personified indeed.
