Blouberg Coastal Hideout

Bloubergstrand holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I grew up, spending countless days surfing, walking along the beach, and visiting the cute beachfront cafés that give the area its laid-back charm.

On my recent stay at Blouberg Coastal Hideout, I was reminded just how special this pocket of Cape Town really is.

Tucked away in a quiet street yet just a short stroll from the beach, this Bloubergstrand Airbnb felt like the perfect base for a few days of slowing down. It’s the kind of place that encourages un-rushed mornings, spontaneous beach walks, and easy evenings in.

A Calm, Comfortable Base Near The Sea

From the moment I arrived, it was clear that a lot of care had gone into the experience. Fresh flowers welcomed me inside, and Lindt chocolate balls placed on the pillows felt like a thoughtful touch, the kind that instantly makes you feel looked after. The space itself is warm and inviting. Clean lines, soft textures, and a neutral colour palette create an atmosphere that’s both modern and relaxed. After long days out exploring, it was genuinely a place I looked forward to coming back to.

Slow Mornings & Easy Evenings

One of my favourite things about staying in this Airbnb was how effortlessly it supported a slower rhythm. Mornings were spent making coffee in the fully equipped kitchen and easing into the day, while evenings were perfect for cooking something simple and winding down after sunset walks along the beach.

There’s a small balcony that’s ideal for a quiet moment outside, whether it’s a morning coffee or a pause between adventures. It’s these simple details that make the apartment feel more like a home than just a place to sleep.

Thoughtful Touches That Make a Difference

What stood out most were the details that quietly make a difference;

  • Fresh flowers on arrival and chocolate treats on the pillows, adding a subtle sense of welcome

  • An incredibly detailed digital travel guide, curated by the host, filled with local cafés, beaches, restaurants, and things to do around Bloubergstrand and Cape Town overall, something I found myself referring to throughout my stay

  • Fast fibre Wi-Fi (100mbps), perfect for remote work or planning the next day’s adventures

  • A Smart TV with Netflix, YouTube and Disney Plus for cosy nights in

  • Secure undercover parking, which makes getting around Cape Town easy

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend escape or staying a little longer, it’s a space that adapts beautifully to your pace.

Exploring Bloubergstrand

One of the biggest highlights of this stay is the location. Within minutes, you’re on the sand, with sweeping views of Table Mountain across the bay and plenty of space for long, uninterrupted walks. The nearby cafés and restaurants are perfect for casual brunches, sunset drinks, or an easy dinner close to home.

Final Thoughts

Blouberg Coastal Hideout isn’t about luxury in the traditional sense, it’s about comfort, ease, and location. It’s a place that allows you to experience Bloubergstrand the way it’s meant to be experienced: slowly, simply, and with the freedom to make the days your own.

If you’re looking for a peaceful coastal base close to the beach, cafés, and some of Cape Town’s most iconic views, this Bloubergstrand Airbnb is well worth adding to your list.
