Immaculate guesthouse in beautiful setting, overlooking the ocean. Phaedra is an excellent host, has thought of everything for your comfort and is only too happy to advise on/ book restaurants and things to do. Relaxing stay for 4 nights but sad to move on. A great find. Thank you.

We were recommended Blue Waters by a Cape Town Travel Agent and how right they were. The location is great, with good views of the sea and walking distance ( 10 min ) to the beaches and restaurants of Camps Bay. The room was large and kept to a high standard. Phaedra and her staff were excellent, the breakfast in... More

Phaedra and her two ladies looked after us in style. Very relaxed but help was there when required. Whales could be seen from our bedroom window. Free use of guest internet, lovely guest lounge, pool etc. A bed and breakfast establishment with standards as high as any hotel. 10 minutes walk into Camps Bay with its superb beach, palm trees...

We stayed at Blue Waters for a week in November and based our choice purely on the TripAdvisor reviews. This is a great guest house with large airy rooms, huge beds and very well maintained. The guest lounge with balcony, computer with internet access, and self-service kitchen area were a great bonus. We also enjoyed the communal breakfast table -... More

What made our stay at Camps Bay even more pleasent and cozy was Blue Waters. The Phaedra and staff are extremely professional, helpful, and warm. If my wife and I get the chance to return to Cape Town, instead of staying downtown, we would look forward to staying in Camps Bay and especially at Blue Waters. Amazing views, good location,...

Firstly the owner, Phaedra, is a the best host I've ever had. Very welcoming and helpful! The location of Blue Waters is perfect, just far enough from the main strip of Camps Bay to not be noisy at night but still within easy walking distance. It is an easy cab ride or car drive (or get the hop on hop... More
